• Bubble Boy looks like a one joke movie.

  • Alright, we finally got cable at our apartment. Now I can finally watch TRL.

  • This is cool. Some guy built an iBook into one of those tough metal briefcases. Check out those pictures, cause it looks like a detailed, professional job. This computer\’s perfect for you tough macho manly men out there who like throwing laptops around.

  • Another great idea from Microsoft: they\’re making retailers charge consumers $499 to $1200 to reserve an Xbox that\’ll be bundled with games, peripherals, and warranties, instead of $299 for the console only. Microsoft\’s games have higher profit margins than games made by other companies. First they force their software down your throat, and now they\’re telling you what games to play.

  • I just got back from a matinee showing of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Oh man, it was such a cool movie. It\’s a musical about a transsexual rocker whose former lover stole her songs and became a big rock star. The songs were probably the best part. They were better than most real rock bands\’ songs, even. Anyway, if you want to see something entirely different and much more entertaining than all the American Pie 2s and Rush Hours 2s out there, watch Hedwig.

  • The Road to Springfield: The Final. So it comes down to Mr. Burns vs. Ralph Wiggum. Who will win the title of Best Supporting Character? Only you, the voters, can decide.

  • More sneaky tactics from Microsoft: IE Upgrade Cuts Off QuickTime.

  • OC Weekly has an interesting article about day laborers, those guys you see in front of Home Depot. Their days consist of standing on street corners and waiting for work. When a car pulls up, everyone runs to it as fast as he can. A few lucky guys get picked to work and make some money that day.

    If the tech job market doesn\’t pick up, this is what it\’s gonna be like for computer science majors. I can just imagine a bunch of computer geeks standing in front of CompUSA in their white shirts and black ties. And when a car pulls up you hear the geeks yelling \”You need a programmer? I know C++ and Java!\” \”I know Perl and XML!\” \”I\’m an MCSE!\”

  • \”Mariah Carey was hospitalized for \’exhaustion,\’ but everyone knows what that really means: a quart of cum in her stomach.\”

    Damn, that was mean even for the Onion. I love it. That\’s my quote of the week.

  • US Admits Losing Nuke. \”Sorry. Our bad,\” said the US. \”We\’ll try not to do it again.\”
