A couple of years ago, right after we got the TiVo, I was in the habit of watching Adult Swim cartoons. One of them was this stylish, eye-catching Japanese anime import called Cowboy Bebop. I’ve always been interested in anime, but found most of the few imports I ran across to be too coldly Mr. Roboto-Gundam-Warrior for my taste. And no, never could get the whole idea of why winsome girl “heroines” all have to be dressed like pervo dreamgirlz. But Bebop was different. It had incredible music, eye-popping visuals, evocative direction and editing, and fascinating characters. It sucked you…

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…
