It’s an electric cello:

Nah, that’s definitely “Spice World”’s Richard E. Grant.

That was fun and made me want to read REG’s autobiography again.

The Flyers suck against the Bruins this year.

Being born and raised in ‘burta, I’m more surprised to find out someone else in this province watched it than I am that said person would be yelling SHEEEEEEEEEIT at IWJ in Venice.

Alan S. Kim’s acceptance speech is the best thing you’ll see all day:

Venezuela says “hold my beer”...

Nah, not weird, the yen is just functionally equivalent to the cent. The minimum denomination in Japanese currency is a one-yen coin, which I think of like a penny, and the hundred-yen coin I think of like a loonie.

Oh hey, review’s back.  I saw this last Monday on CityTV’s site here in Canada and y’know, I enjoyed the ep so much I didn’t mind that Hugo’s date showed up after all and the ending was basically “tutti sono contenti”.  And any ep where Bob does food voices is a winner.

The AI Weirdness blog is worth following just to get stuff like this dropped in my mailbox ever few days.

If all you know of Bruce Hornsby is “The Way It Is”, check out his work with Christian McBride and Jack DeJohnette or the Grateful Dead or his Spike Lee soundtracks or his solo piano.  

I hadn’t even heard of Ovation TV let alone Journy but I’m enjoying this series. Golding is a very affable guide and so far he seems to be going to pretty tourist-friendly places that I could see myself going to with my limited Japanese.
