The new Sloan video for Witch's Wand is a good one and happens to be my favourite song on the album as well.

Posted by on Thursday, March 5, 2009 in - 16 comments
Artist Shepard Fairey has recently become widely known for his iconic Obama posters (featured on the cover of Time magazine). It is much less widely known that he created another iconic image from the tech world.
Sometime in 1998, Shepard Fairey created the lizard artwork that became the logo and mascot for the Mozilla project. Even today, this lizard is still used in the logo for the Mozilla Foundation.

Political Spell Checking

This is an actual screenshot from the spell-checking in my Thunderbird email client:

The headlines on CNN.com have long been a source of morbid delight for me. Today is no exception:
- Student-teacher sex ruled OK ... sometimes
- Obamas oozed love long before WH
- Goat starts fire; cat warns family
- Co-ed's virginity selling for over $3.7M
- Lisa Marie Presley shows off her twins
I’ve seen a few sit-coms that could use writing like that.
