So while I was in Nebraska burning myself to a crisp, Jen @ the Bitchlog blogged for 24 hours straight for charity. Go check it out. Gives you a glimpse of what blogs would be like if the bloggers only blogged non-stop instead of having to work for a living. The result? Deeply personal and interesting stories and ideas. A little too much to read for this short attention-span society? Possibly, but still very entertaining.

If you ever go to Lake McConaughy in Nebraska, don’t forget to put sunscreen on your feet. Just a word of advice. When you’re standing on a deck, and the breeze picks up a little, and you wince in pain as it lightly brushes the tops of your feet, that’s bad.

“The Internet is an important cultural phenomenon, but that doesn’t excuse its failure to comply with basic economic laws,”

What I sense here is a group of business men who made some very bad business decisions. Rather than blame themselves it seems easier to blame the structure of the internet as being inefficient and “anarchist.” I think it is obvious to anyone that has the slightest clue about the internet that it isn’t the internet that has failed. I would classify it as one of the most successful “inventions” ever. It’s more popular than religion, but not quite as popular as sex (although it fills the void for some).

So, The Chooch tells me that He-Man and Transformers figures have been re-released. I was a huge He-Man fan (ahem) when I was like 4 years old. And surprisingly enough, I hardly recognize any of those figures, except for TrapJaw, because he had a rad name and interchangeable claw-things. And Transformers are over-rated, I think.

So, well, Radiohead uses Apple stuff… Didn’t we already know this?


Oh well, Anyway, it’s a cool article.

If you dig nostalgia at all, then you should enjoy this picture (and article) a great deal. Bear in mind that no matter how great the story is, it will never be as cool as the old Nintendo game.

Chunk looks *ahem* super, doesn’t he?

“The draft protocol would put national security and confidential business information at risk,”

If any of you questioned whether Bush was tightly in tow of the business community, his reasoning for rejecting the proposal to enforce the germ warfare treaty should erase all doubt.
