You’re clicking your heels, however, if you own two TiVos because subscribing to two units now costs $20 a month ($13 for the first TiVo you activated; $7 for the second) instead of the $26 (or $13 for each box) TiVo used to charge. Hee! What did you think I meant, silly?

A Utah moment: Moviegoers at the Jordan Landing Cinemark movies in West Jordan received a unique greeting Monday from the ticket taker if they purchased tickets to “Fahrenheit 9/11.” To each patron, he called out: “Vote for Bush.” When queried, he said he was following instructions from management. Terrell Falk, marketing vice president for Cinemark, based in Plano, Texas, was surprised by the news and said lobbying customers for Bush was not a company policy. She was still trying to get through to the West Jordan complex as of late Tuesday to find out what they were thinking. What they…

Yesterday, it was the Little Free, Web-Based News Aggregator that could. Today, totally new look with clickable tabs, blogs, feeds, and all kinds of clicky goodness. Some of the new features are interesting (tabs and sharing feeds) and some are not (kind of a harsh blue on the eye when looking at the aggregator, it needs to be paler and less painful). Some of their choices for font size and so on are a bit questionable, too.

Okay… heartrate almost back to normal here. I’m still stunned by Dennis and Erika’s quick exit. Adios! I was so relieved that Jim made it with a bum stitched up knee and … that girl with him. I don’t mind her so much, because when she wasn’t shouting about cluetrees she was sort of sympathetically clucking “awwww, Dad, your knee…” You can hear her doing this, but she’s not shown actually looking concerned. Editors rule. I also thought it was very satisfying (ahhh!) that all the sucky mean people got on the later-arriving flight (with the exception of Chip and…

Of all the reality shows I’ve watched — and that’s all of them — “The Amazing Race” might be the most difficult to sell people on, sight unseen. When you explain how teams of two travel around the world together, completing various tasks, and the first team to reach the final destination wins, it ends up sounding like some kind of vaguely educational bore. You just can’t do justice to how well this show is edited to create suspense, or to the great feel you get for the exotic locales that the players visit, thanks to some first-rate, frenetic camera…

BARTLETT — A Bartlett couple were charged with felony forgery after their daughter was caught Sunday trying to use fake tickets for rides at a carnival, authorities said. In a generous move, they had distributed free tickets to 20 needy children. Yes, charity begins at home – with a color printer and some card stock.
