I mentioned the other day that I am writing for Palm Addicts. Here is a list of my posts so far. I think I got them all.
Star Wars DVD Sets of Tomorrow by Lore Sjöberg (which may be the coolest name ever) is a new article at Wired.
Lore offers some thoughts on possible additional boxed Star Wars DVD sets, including:
The Just-Better-Effects Edition
This edition redoes all the special effects -- every single one throughout the entire series, using the best technology available, applied by the guys who did the Lord of the Rings movies. Nothing else is touched. No dialogue is changed, no scenes are added, no new characters are included. Can you imagine how much Star Wars fanatics will love this one? They'll be standing in line outside every place in town that sells DVDs, dressed in Jedi robes and elaborate rancor costumes. What a bunch of hard-core geeks. I'd better preorder my copy now.
I’d order one, but online. It was bad enough that I had to stand in the ticket line with those people when the movies came out.
I still wouldn’t be surprised if George Lucas released an official DVD of The Phantom Edit as I suggested earlier.
Lore also hit the nail on the head with this comment:
The best part is that the original-release DVDs include the special-edition DVDs as well. So people who bought the special edition when they really wanted the original version will have to buy the special edition again, and people who didn't buy the special edition because they only care about the original version will have to pay more to get the special edition anyway! Yes! Use your aggressive feelings! Let the hate flow through you!
Vatican Assassin arrived at our house just in time for Christmas.
Sure, my sister and I spend all year trying to find the perfect gift for Dad, and my brother goes and publishes a book dedicated to Dad.
You win.
Dad hasn't been able to put down the book since he opened it.
Happened to accidentally see the end of a commercial (even TiVo isn’t perfect, just close) today and saw that the National Institute of Technology was offering Career Training in: Electronics, Computers, Health Care, Massage, and Homeland Security.
Um, what?
How did massage get into that list?
And how many of their alumni mumble over the “n” when saying that they graduated from N.I.T?
While ago I asked why red and green LEDs were used instead of, say, blue.
Turns out that blue is being used, and people don’t like it: Wired: Backlash Brews Over Blue LEDs
Take that, you dog-hating cat nutcases!
And don’t bother emailing me or posting comments about all the evil that you think dogs do. I’ll just erase them anyway (and the comments have to be approved by me before they show up, so posting them at 3am from your cat pee smelling computer room while you’re cuddled up with Mr Winkles won’t be seen by anyone.
Actually, I like cats, grew up with cats, and would consider having cats again, but the completely irrationality that I receive from so-called “cat lovers” (cat-fanatic anti-dog loons, more precisely) just makes me want to play with them like a cat with a dead mouse.
Viagra ruled kosher for PassoverLooks like those who adhere to Passover laws forbidding the consumption of leaven can make an exception when it comes to one type of rising agent--Viagra.

Yes, but can they take aspirin if they have a headache?
Wired.com has an interesting story Surprises Lurk in Satellite Snaps about some unexpected scenes captured on satellite footage including pictures of the Sri Lanka coastline just before and just after the tsunami hit.
But the one which caught my eye was a man carved “I Love Donna” in a cornfield. And she turned him down. Either Donna is as cold as ice (in which case, you’re better off man!) or she had a pretty significant reason for her rebuttal.
Either way, that couldn’t have been a very fun conversation.
Barbie goes to Jamaica, a story in 11 chapters.
It's often said that the brightest minds are the most twisted ones (*) and this is just more evidence.
(*) Ok, at least, it's often said by me, but, after all, if I can't use my website to imply that my opinion is normative, what's the sense in having a website?
The author behind this is also the creator of the daily digital which was the inspiration for the Daily Dose of Ethan. They're e-friends we've actually met.
Oh, and we were the ones who bought this for one of their dogs. He and I are almost colleagues.
