REM (Dec 21 2005 20:57 GMT) - You know where I come from You know what I feel You’re Yul Brenner Westworld Reporting from the field. I threw it into reverse, Made a motion to repeal. You kicked my legs from under me, And tried to take the wheel. I told you I wanted to be wrong, But everyone is humming a song That I don’ |

- I've been trying to get around to completing my annual "Worst of" list of movies for the past year, but have had some trouble narrowing my selections down. 2005 was host to an inordinate amount of crap, making the act of distilling one of the shittiest years in movie history into a mere ten picks daunting indeed. Further, there was no clear-cut absolute worst movie to put in the vaunted #1 position. That was until last night, that is, when I saw The Ringer. I really don't know what I can compare the experience to, except maybe sitting in your doctor's waiting room, simultaneously suffering from a migraine headache, walking pneumonia, and prolapsed hemorrhoids while the guy next to you loudly opines on yesterday's episode of Dr. |

- Via Peeve Farm, I found a couple of posts discussing whether Apple's upcoming release of Intel-based Macs capable of running Windows will put Dell out of business. On the pro side is Daniel Jalkut and on the con side is Bob Crosley (who has about the coolest blog banner I've seen yet). Certainly, Jalkut has a point, as recent high-profile negative reviews have made clear that you can pay high-end prices for a low-end PC if you go with the wrong brand. (Sony is much better, but no-name knock-offs are not much worse than a Dell.) But that's not enough.... |

- Don't get me wrong—having a cell phone that can do everything and even wash the dog is cool and all, but this is just going too far. The Photo Violation Technologies Corporation have began pushing out this new parking meter. It will take a picture of your car, including the license plate, and then come hunt you down with a baseball bat when you decide to drive off. Alright, this is kind of neat in a reaming-you-in-the-ass kind of way. |
