My husband David and I spend most evenings in front of the television, and I’ve blogged before about what we watch. Our watch list includes a lot of criminal investigative shows, and yes, we watch all three CSI shows – the original set in Las Vegas, the one set in Miami, and the one set in New York. These three shows have a definite hierarchy in our viewing habits and in our attitudes toward them; we like and respect the original show, we diss the Miami one but watch it anyway, and we like and respect the New York outing.…

SCIFI.COM | The Dresden Files Man, I've been getting a fair number of hits for any mention of this excellent show. The SciFi Channel's page for the show has a lot of features, quizzes, interviews with Paul Blackthorne, who plays wizard Harry Dresden. There are four video Q&A's – I'm about to sit here and watch them all – but the main thing that strikes the viewer is Blackthorne's cultured British accent. Also, thus far he is reading "forum" questions on a silver laptop in the SciFi offices in New York, but NEVER TOUCHES the KEYBOARD. Knowing his character's electromagnetic…

Boing Boing: Keyboard waffle-iron My husband David would love it if someone would send him a box of frozen QWERTY keyboard waffles. I’m sure they would be delicious and yummy and it would be fun to “type” while eating, although it would be pretty messy. I’m just sayin’. [tags]BoingBoing, waffles[/tags]

UnNews:Pastafarians celebrate National Day of ARRRRRRRRRRRR – Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia CORVALLIS, Oregon — Oregon State University (OSU) hosted the country’s largest and only congregation of Pastafarians to participate in the US government’s National Day of Prayer celebration. While the FlyingSpaghetti Monster and his high-cholesterol suffering followers are still not yet recognized by any of the world’s legitimate governments, it is still considered a more believable religion than Scientology and all its stupid Alien DC-9s and Thetan crap. Darn! I totally missed this shit! Well done, OSU, our pants are off to you! Maybe we can all have spaghetti for…

According to Joey The Accordion Guy the official fight song of the Internet should be that instantly recognizable classic, the "Amok Time" fight scene music where Kirk and Spoke duke it out with various bizarre weapons so Spock can marry his betrothed… and all that that implies. Like the Vulcan ritual that the music underscored, most internet arguments are triggered by a response in the most primitive parts of our brains, look silly to outsiders and seem to be taken up by people who are slated to have sex once every seven years. My favorite weapon was always when T'Pol…
