New Year's Link Fiesta
A review of links and thoughts collected over the holidays...
Tired women suffer 'phone text stress' - note the survey was done by Bailey's. Yes, that Bailey's.
Giant Tortoise Adopts Baby Hippo - of course, just arguing semantics here, but it doesn't say the tortoise cares, just the hippo loves the tortoise... and what, no picture?!
My favorite show is back (Lost) and every day someone says to me, I'd love to watch that show, but I missed the first set of episodes and I don't want to start mid-stream. Here's a primer.
Square One TV - remember that? To reminisce, or for those of you that never watched, it was the math-based skit show including "Mathnet" and short celebrity sketches, including a classic one by Dweezil Zappa trying to pick up a girl using the word, "combinatorics." This page includes an episode of Mathnet, a game of Mathman (like PacMan), Ryan Stiles singing "The Mathematics of Love," and more. Anyone on this show I can no longer take seriously, even Reg Cathey who keeps appearing in serious movies lately. But it was great!
Doug gave me a great Enterprise model for my desk at work, made by a Japanese company, Romando. I was really impressed with the detail, so I looked them up. This page shows all the models, which came in unmarked boxes (never said which ship you were buying). Some have smaller "chase ships" which are even tinier versions of the big one, and a few are "cloaked" which is the detailed ship in clear plastic. Fantastic!
The Apprentice Rules - a great "Apprentice" site with funny episode short summaries called "The Water Cooler," bios on each candidate, editorial "memos" to certain candidates, latest news on former Apprentices, and a summary of those one-liner "rules" of operation Trump hands out in between commercial breaks.
Clusty.com - a new way to search the web by clusters of site names and topics. WrapStars has more sites linking to it than I thought, happily.
TokyoPlastic.com - amazing, breathtaking Flash work with really rocking music.
WKTokyoLab.com - more Flash, even more music (see the Artists section)
"Tsunami Women Trapped by Hair" - a sad article, with an odd line at the end. "Mr Badenoch added that staff from the charity were helping the survivors of the disaster within 12 hours of the huge wives hitting the country." Huge wives hitting the country, eh?

Ever wonder how the scale of V'Ger would compare next to the Death Star's? Me too!

Found a picture of our Tortoise and Hippo pals:

Seems that Owen (the Hippo)is destined for Hippo Harmony (tm), entertaining Cleo, another lonely female Hippo at the zoo. That's great, but who picks these names?
