Various and Sundry: Now Everything But Photography

Working on a couple of larger posts. In the meantime, let me buy some time with some things that grabbed my attention:

• Video of the year: At last! YouTube video to show how similar AIRPLANE! (the funniest movie of all time) is to ZERO HOUR. It’s a dead-on copy, played so straight that it’s hilarious. Someone needs to do a picture-in-picture DVD of both movies together.
• Here’s my Google Reader Feed, if you want to see the things I find most interesting on a daily basis. Many of the stories you’ll see here start there. It’s a free-flowing feed, too. LOTS of stuff passes through there. You can view it as a web page, too.
• A four port HDMI switch? Kewl.
• Linux Torvalds thinks kernel maintenance procedures does not inhibit desktop development, thankyouverymuch.
• The famed CBR Photo Parade from San Diego has begun.
• 10 rules for writing numbers.
• If AT&T ran the roads. . . Don’tcha just hate telecomm companies? Very funny stuff.
• An XBox 360 price drop? Don’t worry — Microsoft will still cover it for a number of years while it breaks constantly. . . It only cost them a billion dollars to do so.
  Mario Strikers Charged looks like a really really cool game. The original game for the GameCube was spectacular, as well, even if I couldn’t beat the danged thing.
