…a lot of busted-assed HP notebooks in his future.
This delightful Ananova rumor report contains a compelling photo of Diana Ross that makes David Gest’s alleged attraction to her all too clear.
You have to admire a list written by, like, five different people with no overlap in the candidates. They get most of the obvious choices out of the way early [leaving plenty of room for representatives of the WB and WWE], but each writer gets their own 20, so there is no definitive hottest. At any rate, this is guaranteed the only list of its kind to include Brian Kendrick, who is not a woman, and two women wrestlers who are not Torrie or Trish.
A look behind the scenes of Law & Order, from the view of one of its most prolific directors.
I made up for taking so long to buy the “Yoshimi” album by springing for the two-disc CD+DVD version. For a couple of bucks more, I got a CD that I could rip to my iPod, and a DVD with a bunch of a/v extras — extra tracks, videos from the album, and vignettes.
Among the video tracks are two of the videos are for “Do You Realize?”. One is the original version, shot in a field and featuring Wayne and a bunch of the hippest girls in Oklahoma, and the other is the big-budget remake shot on Fremont Street in Las Vegas with Wayne, an elephant, and four lingerie models.
I know it didn’t happen like this for the Lips, but I think there would be an entertaining VH1 show in this concept: artist self-produces low-budget video, famous video director remakes the concept with a conventional network-TV budget.
If your corporate branding budget is greater than $39.99, LogoCreator is a handsome, professional logo and letterhead creation solution. If your budget is $0.00, you’re running MacOS Classic or Windows, and/or you like the retro-euro look — in short, if you’re like me, except for the OS part — B??ro Destruct Designer is what my younger brother would call “the whip…s’bongers.” [Don’t ask.]
As someone who has installed QXP a number of times in a professional role, I can only borrow a phrase from “Dancin’” Homer Simpson and say “it’s funny because it’s true.” [Warning: strong language, but I think he has a point there. Are you reading this, Cruel Site?]
Meeting Sonny today at Binson’s, brief though it was, got me wondering what had happened to Gary Ed Mach, who presented experiments to kids of a certain era every weekend morning on Channel 4. A google search for him doesn’t turn up much, but fortunately it led me to The Vintage Detroit TV and Movie Board.
I used to be on detroit.localfeeds. I used to read detroit.localfeeds. But now I can’t read localfeeds. I’ve been thinking it was down for days, but I just checked it from a friend’s BSD box through Lynx and it’s still up!
If you read this or any other of my recent posts through localfeeds, please give me a holler. Tell me it sucked, even. I just want to know if localfeeds blocked my IP or something, and maybe then I can figure out why.
Between localfeeds and Metafilter’s apparent disappearance, I have a lot less stuff in my RSS reader. And if you’ll excuse me, I must get to Binson’s to meet Sonny Eliot.
