Some thoughts on why audiophilia needs defending while videophilia is a national pastime...

You guys didn't notice the balls change color, too (0:26)?

@pretty pretty pony: ♥

I don't know about "very first." Tesla's right up there with zombies and clumsy kittens on the list of things the internet's obsessed with. And just see what happens if someone tries to speak up for Edison these days!

Here's an NPR interview with him I posted in #tips a couple of weeks ago: [www.npr.org]

Still pissed about lala, yep.

@SparklyJesus: I have 2 Gmail accounts, 0 Hotmail accounts, and 1 Yahoo account. The Yahoo account is the only one I use regularly. So, like, my vote cancels out your vote, haw.

@Shamoononon: Then how do you explain Darla getting all knocked up, hmm?

@ericesque: I'm still running 2k on my laptop! (700mhz p3, 512mb RAM) Gets the job done...
