Dan Shanoff: Questions to Ask Before Marriage? (Maybe This Is Why Brady and Moynihan Broke Up?)
via NYTimes
This seems like a fun little game. Over the holidays (I’ll probably still be posting, probably more since I’ll have nothing to do save entering 3129 numbers on the keypad of my mom’s Lincoln to try to crack the keyless entry) I’ll whip up my own “right” vs. truthful answers to said questions. Haha, I don’t think anyone who I’d need to have this kind of discussion with is reading my blog.
Media Matters - Dick Morris falsely claimed that Obama has “never introduced a bill” in the Senate
How exactly does Fox News get away with calling itself a news channel? REALLY?! Sure, you can argue that he’s an analyst and commentator and as such can be a little loose with his facts, but this is just reprehensible to me.
I love response ads like these. Like a rap battle but about premier European engineered cars. (=
Of course Audi and VW (and I think Bentley) are part of the same conglomerate.

this is great! Samsung, among others, LOVE to use those proprietary cables. That’s the one thing Motorola does right, mini-usb to charge/sync. I’m getting a new celly for someone as a gift, an SE, but it’s another proprietary cable. BAH I say!

20 minutes + 3129 keypresses = unlocked car door on those car keyless number entry pad things. My mom has this keypad on her Lincoln (it seems a very American car thing). I’m definitely going to try it out when I visit for the holidays. There’s really nothing else to do while I’m home. (Though I’m going to bust out the Dreamcast and the Sega Bass Fishing I think.)
So I just got a 1080p HDTV. And I got a nice upconverting dvd player for Christmas. And yet I’m plagued by the thought of a PS3 or an Xbox360 (or xo as i like to call it… get it, x for xbox, o for circle which equals 360 degrees! I’m so clever idiotic.). Nevermind my friends who are going crazy over the fact that I got a nice HD set and don’t have an HD movie player. Listen, it bothers me too. I LOVE movies. I’d get a PS3 or xo for HD movies alone, never mind gaming. (Why not just get a stand alone Bluray or HD-DVD player you ask? Well I do enjoy gaming as well, so there’s that.). But it’s a lot of layout for movies of which I’m not positive which format will win out. There are movies on both that I really love. Perhaps for Christmas…..
So wii just released their Weather Channel integration and I just read THIS:
Look at the Weather Channel! Now switch your regoin to a snowy region or rainy region.
Now go play Madden & look at the weather…it WILL BE THE SAME AS WHAT THE WEATHER CHANNEL IS!!!
That is AWESOME! It reminds me of Metropolis Street Racer on Dreamcast, with the real-time location clock. (Or I guess of 24/7 mode on NBA 2k5 or 6.) (By the way, that feature on MSR was the best and probably the biggest “failing” of Project Gotham Racing on Xbox.)
