Last minute gift ideas
With Christmas just days away, you have to consider what you’ll do carefully – with just two days for shipping, and more and more packages going through the systems, you’re cutting it rather close. Amazon.com
is offering free two-day shipping on some items, so plan things right and you could get it there in time. Otherwise, if you know it’s in stock at a local store – many websites now offer the chance to check inventory status online – you might be able to get it in hand, provided you can put up with the crush of people.
Amazon.com and iTunes Music Storegift cards are an excellent option – you can either have them emailed to the recipient, or you can print out a custom gift card and give it in person. Win win!
If you have a Lego fan on your list, Lego Shop at Homeoffers a great variety of sets, right from the source. If you have a custom builder on the list, a gift card
and point them in the direction of the individual bricks
Another option, if you’re looking to spend a little more, is the Amazon Kindle. They’ve lowered the price, and changed out the wireless provider, meaning that you can use it internationally now. Combine those two, and you’ve got a great price on a very mobile device. Books are available online, and there are millions of titles available – either from Amazon, or from third party sources, including free books. With magazineand newspaper
subscriptions also available – cheaper than the printed versions – it’s easy to stay up to date while on the go.

Pelosi keeps door open on war tax?????
Pelosi keeps door open on war tax.
What.
The.
Fuck.
I’m sorry, but you’re considering a “graduated surtax” on the American people to pay for a war that many of the people in the country don’t want in the first place??
How about we stop paying Halliburton and Black Water the outrageous amounts of money we’re giving them? How about we get some of the other members of our “Coalition of the Willing” to pony up some cash?? -

You can’t make this stuff up….
Popular Science reports….
The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, just cannot catch a break. First, a coolant leak destroyed some of the magnets that guide the energy beam. Then LHC officials postponed the restart of the machine to add additional safety features. Now, a bird dropping a piece of bread on a section of the accelerator has, according to the Register, shut down the whole operation.

Remember, remember….
In honor (?) of Guy Fawkes day….
Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli’ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! -

Twitter only device appears – sign of the apocolypse?
The Wall Street Journal | Blogs brings us the tale of the TwitterPeek. Similar to the Peek Pronto
, and produced by the same company (Peek, the TwitterPeek
While I don’t have a problem with Twitter – I tweet quite a bit – I have to wonder if this device will take off like they’re clearly hoping that it will. If people aren’t adapting to use Twitter on their cell phones – and considering that you can simply send a text message to update it on even the most basic phone – then I wonder who their target audience is.
I myself tweet from my cell phone, the computer I happen to be using, or even my iPod touch. It’s easy, convenient, and hassle-free – so maybe they have a point here. I guess maybe my problem is that it becomes yet another device to carry around. Granted, it’s purely optional, so I guess it becomes a matter of using it or not, depending on your needs. I wish them luck, but I don’t think I’ll ever be buying on. Christmas sales, however, will be a good prediction of how the device will do over all. Time, as always, will tell all. -

Ryan Seacrest | What's Happening
Yes, I’m ashamed to admit that I went to Ryan Seacrest’s site. But the video isn’t horrible, and she certainly doesn’t come across as completely out of her mind – so maybe she’s got a chance at this “comeback” thing I keep hearing about??

FOX destroys yet another show…
From Airlock Alpha:
Dollhouse,” which is gunning heavily to be removed from Fox’s lineup far earlier than expected, earned a 1.4 rating/3 share, according to Fast National ratings from The Nielsen Co. It basically matches the audience the show received last week, and was Fox’s lowest-rated show … period.”
It’s funny, since I was just discussing some of FOX’s cancellations this morning with a co-worker (see my previous thoughts on FOX’s “programming” here or here). I haven’t been able to watch any of this season of Dollhouse just yet, but I guess I’ll have to try harder – maybe just tune in the receiver and then turn off the TV? I’ll watch it, just so dang busy…..
I guess I could also just wait for the ax to fall, then enjoy season 2 on DVD, much like you can now with season one.
