From the LA Times:

“When they ignore Veterans Day and Memorial Day, I think they’re telling us something about the way they view America,” said Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily.com, a conservative website that has criticized Google’s logo decisions.

Boo hoo hoo, WorldNetDaily.com. You’d be in a position to talk if your website was full of American Flag GIFs and weeping bald eagle JPEGs. Instead, your website is full of 1997-era GIFs that just make me weep.

Sometimes I think I could be a hotshot Hollywood producer. Though I usually come to the realization that my talents would be totally worthless and wasted.

Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov has made a new decree that “We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead”. This Neanderthal thinking comes after both Jodie Foster’s The Brave One (even though she’s had big recent hits with Flightplan and Panic Room) and Nicole Kidman’s The Invasion (as if three different directors didn’t have something to do with the awfulness of the gross receipts) under-performed at the box office recently.

From Brandeis University’s Library and Technology Services:

Second, we develop the “vaporware” that allows robust and maintainable interaction between core systems like PeopleSoft, myBrandeis, library systems and others.

How’s that for some marketing?

It plans to turn “The Office” into a humorous game in which players have to handle jobs and play pranks at Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch.

Wow. There’s only so many ways to make a stupid.

From NPR:

Phoenix is the city most at risk for identity fraud, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center. Their new survey shows writing a check is not safer than banking online because of a scam called “check washing.” The thief erases the ink on a check and fills in whatever he wants.

Fairly obvious, but it doesn’t mean you should never write a check. Only write checks to people and companies you trust (making a photocopy of the check if you can), and for other transactions use credit/debit cards.

If you’re making a deal with another person (say, for items from Craigslist), be sure to use cash.

From the Division Series in Major League Baseball: If the Philadelphia Phillies (playing the Colorado Rockies) and Chicago Cubs (playing the Arizona Diamondbacks) each win one of their next two games, then we have a rare quadruple-playoff-header on Sunday.

That’s 12 solid hours of meaningful games. Rockin’.
