* The 23 inch Apple [tag]Cinema Display[/tag] is now only $999. It’s the display I swear by, and now it’s cheaper than ever. . .
* ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA hostess Brooke Burke is pregnant. Maybe that explains last week’s baggy, long shirt. Can you believe she’s already given birth twice? Say what you will about her hosting abilities, but she bounces back from pregnancies pretty well.
* [tag]CBS[/tag]‘ fall schedule begins on the week of September 17th. Does this give ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA a chance to finish without a double elimination week? I need to figure out the math on that.
* When MP3.COM went out of business, they had a liquidation auction. Take a look at some of the items that were up for bid. Insanity!
* Web game of the day: Reaction Effect. Click a tile and get the maximum number of reactions. I got up to 567. After you play a few rounds, you’ll notice the tiles are all pointing the same way in rows and columns. You can use some of that to your advantage, but you just might be better off hitting the RESET button at that point.
* [tag]Super Mario[/tag] Striker coming to the Wii? Fun game.

Wow that is kind of a weird game! I did not really know what I was doing (I am not very good at video games, like for example when I was a kid my dad would give me some quarters to go to the gas station, it had video games, and I would be back so soon because I was pretty bad at the games, I was always killed). But I click a curly square and somehow I got 1212 points, it just kept going on and on, it was a miracle somehow.

907. You’re still way ahead of me. The best you can do is hope to spot a pattern that will branch out in multiple directions without two or three clockwise turns — then just sit back and let them all fly. You can’t plan out too far past that, though. It’s click and pray, I suppose. Still, it’s a fun ten minute diversion.

That display is very tempting to hook up to my ibook. Wow. Augie, why did you have to make me an Macaddict?

Just got 1431. It’s really cool to just suddenly see the tiles explode in movement.

Augie, maybe you should have written: “Say what I will about her hosting abilities…”
Holy cow, I had no idea Brooke is married to that Baywatch loser. Well, I guess if you’re untalented and hot, it’s smart to hook up with the same.

Arune – It’s a sickness, but those prices have come down so very very far, it’s almost a must-buy for you now.

2063. Wowzers. When they start swarming, they do wonderful things.

I’m sure that being married to a plastic surgeon, which she technically still is, since they’re only separated, made it a lot easier.

If your only asset is your body, I suspect you have a lot of motivation to work out during your pregnancy and especially after.
