David, on Day One of our last trip to Maui. Really, this is more of a test post, I’m checking out ecto, and the iTunes plugin associated with it. I’ve managed to get it working and it appears to be mostly harmless. There’s a support forum, Time for the acid test. I may be cracking open a beer in a second, but will there be much joy? or no joy?

My buddies on HIGHLA-L will be amused by this for several reasons. First of all, ferrets is always funny. Second, most of them were proabably into “Due South,” too. Back in the day, I was the official “Ferret Minion Wrangler” and “Stoat Recruitment Specialist” on the list. Good times. via Manolo The Shoeblogger

Woohoo! Team photos and bios are up at CBS.com The teams of TAR9 are: here. Danielle and Dani. Pink. What is it with girly teams putting “Pink” on their boobs or butts. And oh, goody, they’re loudmouths who’ll use their sex appeal. We haven’t seen that before. (However, if Kevin makes good on his threat, I may decide this team is okay). BJ and Tyler. Bohemian. Wow! Originals! Wacky like some former all-male teams, but this is our first Team Boheme. Both have already traveled around the world and spent a lot of time in Asia. If they make it…

David Hewlett: almost as surprisingly sexy as Mitch Pileggi. Also, strangely hot. Yes, I'm obsessed with David Hewlett, who plays McKay. Apparently, he's making an indie film with some of the other cast and crew of both shows, called "A Dog's Breakfast." He's been making films since he was a kid, so it may be worth a look if/when it ever gets a distribution deal. Still, I'm not that much of a freak for Hewlett: at least I didn't create a fanlisting for his hands, although I totally concur with the one for Joe Flanigan's hair, "Intergalactic Bedhead." Actually, Atlantis…

Oh, man, this looks like fun. Idiotarod January 28, 2006 The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska. Our Idiotarod is pretty much the same thing, except that instead of dogs, it’s people, instead of sleds, it’s shopping carts, and instead of Alaska it’s New York City. The third annual event happens January 28, 2006. It will start in Brooklyn, run into Manhattan, and end approximately five miles later. Teams of five will race for a cash prize. And glory. *Who can race?* Anyone. Everyone. Last year we had 500 runners. We…

Chicago Tribune | Maureen Ryan No, not to my entry – to Maureen Ryan’s. She posted an item about “The Book of Daniel” being cancelled to her Trib blog. Shortly afterward, someone posted this well-written and thoughtful response: Hollywood bores America… and Everything about the Pompous attitude they exude.. keep highfive-ing yourselves with GoldenGayGlobes for Your insulting AntiAmerican, AntiGod Propoganda and you will also go the way of “Daniel” Waiting Patiently for all Netowrk Stations to fold under the weight of their left over dust ridden Award Shows…..Regards PC There were a few more comments from people whose brains and…

Take a look at what happens when metal objects are in the same room as a fully charged (“ramped?”) Magnetic Resonance Imaging lab. Several floor buffers, oxygen and welding tanks and IV stands later… hilarity ensues. Have a closer look at “Chair 2.” I think one of their CPR dummies is missing. 😉 Via the interesting Pale Blue Dot.

We watched an Iron Chef America episode tonight. Theme ingredient (come on, no one believes it’s actually a “sekrit” anymore) was pork. Practically an entire dead pig was laid out for the Iron Chef and the challenger to schlep down to the Kitchen Stadium. When the ice cream machine was shown with something that was formerly part of a porker being poured into it, I automatically screamed “ICE CREAM MACHIIIIIINE!!1!” Yes, we watch enough to know when to shriek in mock horror. Actually, it kills me when Alton Brown and Kevin Brauch start hollering. Too funny. However, I’ll pass on…

Golden Globe winner Ricky Gervais missed his chance today to connect with American public radio listeners. Yes, when Whad’Ya Know? called, Mr Gervais was not at home to Mr. Feldman. So they called some guy whose diner they ate at when they did a road show in the area. It’s a live radio show, and Michael was justifiably disappointed, noting that for once they had managed to book an actual celebrity, instead of some guy that wrote an obscure but quirky book. Oh, wait! As I’m listening in the second hour, they’ve gotten ahold of Ricky Gervais… no. Actually, they’ve…
