Ugh, it was bound to happen sooner or later: \’N Syncers \’n Movies. Two of the dudes in \’N Sync (any 2 will do: they\’re interchangeable) will star in a movie produced by one of the dudes. And -get this- his production company is called A Happy Place. I\’m betting the movie will be rated G.

It might be worth watching the Super Bowl just to see the new Matrix-style instant replays. They should\’ve done this years ago.

Ha ha, you gotta love this: staffers from the Clinton White House removed the \”W\” keys on their keyboards before the Bush staffers took over. I should do something similar to the computer lab keyboards when I graduate.

This is what every college student needs: a Mountain Dew shotgun. Just imagine the looks on people\’s faces when you shoot cans of Mountain Dew at them.

Microsoft has a new operating system coming soon.

Man Who Thought He Was On Date Actually Just At Work-Related Get-Together.

\”There Natalie and I were at Trattoria Il Panino, candles flickering and soft music playing. But somehow, the conversation kept turning back to the upcoming print campaign for [anti-fungal medication] Lamisil,\” the 32-year-old Rolen said. \”Then it hit me: This is a business meeting.\”

Poor guy.

I read in the LA Times that American Pie 2 will be released later this year. What the fuck is that going to be about? The College Years? 2 hours of hardcore pie fucking? Maybe they join a frat and have to fuck pies for initiation. Anyway, you know it\’s going to suck.

Women Lack Confidence and Men Lie.

Women have less faith in their computer skills than men, according to a
survey of undergraduates in the US.

Men are more likely to rate their computer expertise as \”above average\” than women, despite near identical experience and frequency of use. The researchers also noted that women were much less likely to spend time in chat rooms or playing video games.

It is perhaps worth noting that young men are not known for their false modesty. These will be the same young men who will happily claim to have slept with 50 lovely ladies while Lara Croft is the closest thing to a scantily-clad-woman they would have seen.

Of course, the people surveyed are UCLA students, which explains the results.

Whoa, a few years ago I took a philosophy course at Pasadena City College taught by Max More, and now he\’s on the cover of LA Weekly. Small world. He\’s now doing something with transhumans and extropy or whatever, something about living forever. Weird. He never mentioned anything about transhumans in class. Although we did watch Gattaca once.

To tide you over until the Final Fantasy movie comes out, here\’s a bunch of shots from the movie.
