Getting There

This is certainly not Britney at her best, but it's just a rehearsal.

Noise Pollution

Please tell me what part of this is art. It sounds like noise pollution to me.

Springfield USA

It's not perfect, but it does help you get a sense of the neighborhood.

Everybody Likes to Color

Even Executives.

Wake Me Up When It's Over

First, they voted off Danny Noriega, the most entertaining contestant by far. Then, they voted off Amanda Overmyer, the only contestant left who stood out. I don't even know why I'm still watching American Idol. It's sooooooooo boring.

David Cook was decently interesting to watch today, but his rendition of Chris Cornell's version of Billy Jean was totally boring. And the judges? They called him original. Last time I checked, original means he came up with something on his own. Singing someone else's version? NOT original.

Disgusting

This has got to be one of the most disgusting accessories you can ever imagine someone making. What's worse is that the pieces don't all belong to the same person.

I Thought I Wouldn't Care...

...but I drowned my keyboard with drool when El Jobso announced this.

Stereotyping?

Yes, and hilarious, too.

Five Head-Turning Bags for Your Notebook

I spent hours browsing the bags mentioned in the comments. While "head-turning" definitely describes the bags listed in the actual article, "idiotic" is my impression of these bags in terms of practicality.

Holidays

KTVU News Anchor: blah blah blah Kwanzaa...

blogger14: It's not even real!

me: They're all made up.

KTVU News Anchor: blah blah blah Kwanzaa...

blogger14: Guess I'm celebrating Kwanzaa. Can't go into work.

Why I Didn't Vote for Any of the Incumbents on the City Council

Not even for the council member who was running unopposed.

Can't believe I live in this town.

There is of course the slim possibility that the reporter is a really bad writer. Don't think that's the issue here though.

Good by Association

Proud just to know the people who helped make this happen.

Getting Ready

"Somebody didn't wash my brown pants. Now I have nothing to wear."

"Well, you better go wash it."

"..."

"You didn't say you needed your brown pants."

"I'm pretty sure I dreamt it. You were in my dream, too. Someone's slacking."

This is Not Why I Read Hawk Wings

Hawk Wings is a nice blog that offers tips for using Apple Mail, various plug-ins, and stuff like that. But today, like a special treat, Tim reminisced about an article from 1994 comparing PCs and Macs to Protestants and Catholics. Even the reader comments are entertaining.

In Case You're Wondering...

...whether Britney still has fans. No, you won't find the answer on Wikipedia. eBay is the place to look.

Stuff on the Web

Dooce, one of my favorite bloggers and I think the only one who isn't an Apple-focused blogger, did a play-by-play commentary on today's Layer Tennis. Yeah, looks like another geeky pass time. But oh man, did you know you can do things like this in 15 minutes? I didn't even know it was possible.

Meanwhile, someone forwarded Mark Morford's column from last week -
American kids, dumber than dirt.

Two great "reads" in one day. I'm not sure I can handle this.
