This is an interesting photo of benches holding scrabble letter pillows.

Sadness is just another word for ‘not enough coffee’
Saw this Dilbert strip yesterday and found it so incredibly accurate.
morningwood
Noticed a (rather unflattering) article over on idolator about the band Morningwood. Brought to mind a recent commercial.
Don't know if anyone else noticed, but this weekend I saw a mercury commercial with the (mannish, but still strangely sexy) Jill Wagner. The background music was 'Nth degree' by Morningwood. I couldn't decide what was funnier – the fact the FoMoCo used the song or that a car commercial with sexual innuendo was using a song that spelled out m-o-r-n-i-n-g-w-o-o-d.
Dinner at Dennys
I'm sure everyone knows by now about the Google/YouTube deal. The thing I like about it? This 1.65 Billion (yes Billion) dollar deal was completed over breakfast at, you guessed it, Dennys. I wonder how much of that deal was in gift cards?
Streisand Loses her cool
Barbara Striesand dropped the F-Bomb on a audience member Monday night.
Though most of the crowd offered polite applause during the slightly humorous routine, it went on a bit too long, especially for those who just wanted to hear Streisand sing.
“Come on, be polite!” the well-known liberal implored. But one heckler wouldn't let up. And finally, Streisand let him have it.
“Shut the (expletive) up!” Streisand bellowed, drawing wild applause. “Shut up if you can't take a joke!”
Barbara needs to realize if she's going to do lame political comedy she better expect to get heckled. She's the one that used the f-word, so looks like Barbara's the one that 'can't take a joke'.
Street Fighter – the later years
This is a great video of aging streetfighter characters. Great for those of us who used to love that game.
Chinese Amusement Park
This post is for John (who just had a baby this week – Congratulations!!). Somehow I think the link to this abandoned Chinese theme park would appeal to his sense of humor.
Once upon a time in a land called Xi Pu, just west of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in the People’s Republic of China, there was a tourist theme park… The World Landscape Park. As a business venture it failed, and today the park lies abandoned and decaying. Personally, I think it’s a lot more interesting this way than it could ever possibly have been when it was open.

Joel on Sprint
Joel Spolsky, author of Joel on Software has a GREAT review of the new LG Fusic phone by Sprint.
I’ve been reading Joel’s blog for a long time, typically his articles are informative and interesting. This is the first time one of his articles have been so outright brutal, but Sprint deserves it. Some marketing moron sent him a free phone so he could review it, not bothering to consider the outcome. I bet that guy is looking for a job about now.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer girl
This is one of the funnier practical jokes I’ve heard about in a while. Sir Richard Branson took advantage of poor Paris Hilton.
The theme of the party was the Mad Hatter, and Paris decided to come dressed as Alice in Wonderland and she notified everyone in advance.
Apprised of this information, Sir Richard ordered all the waitresses at the event, some 60 in total to dress in the same costume, thereby placing Paris in the awkward situation of not being the center of attention.
To make matters worse, Sir Richard at one stage pretended to act as if the hotel heiress were a waitress and asked her to go fetch him a drink.
