This past weekend on the very, very funny detective show “psych,” the heroes outwitted a receptionist by exacerbating her discomfort:
SHAWN: “She’s got a headache. Quick, Gus, whistle something by Philip Glass.”
I don’t know how big the overlap is between psych watchers and Glass devotees, but here’s a link to help explain why Gus started whistling...

Moev are apparently working on a new album and have made selected tracks from their previous albums available for stream and download! [CC licensed!]

The BEST Products Showroom Series →
Remember BEST Products? Sure you do, if you’re old like me. The ones in our neighborhoods were pretty standard fare as department stores go, but who knew they were such aesthetes? If more stores looked like this, maybe people wouldn’t hate to shop so much. [Of course, I’m sure the average big-box store’s cookie-cutter identity is part of the key to their...

Jay Jay the Jet Plane and the Uncanny Valley →
Legendary web entertainment writer Bulmash hits the nail on the friggin’ head with what is wrong with this show. The Christian Retail Guy also addressed this almost three years ago.
Ernie Anderson's Demo Track →
Listen to the mp3 links, you’ll probably know who I’m talking about then. It’s that guy. I really liked “all the other radio stations are a bunch of weenies.”
Ernie Anderson - 1-800-47-Ernie →
I grew up listening to this guy and his awesome voice, mostly on ABC. Now I know his name. Shame he’s been gone for ten years. =(

I have no idea how people from “my generation” learned anything from Sesame Street before the little twerp started hijacking the last fifteen minutes and flying it straight into the Bermuda Triangle.

I’m researching little bluetooth headsets so I don’t look like too much of a Star Trek reject when I’m talking. This comment has just about sold me on the miniblue.

Ticket 1541: Adium and MS LCS →
Adium connects to pretty much everything except MS Live Communications Server, which we use at work. Wait, am I allowed to say that? Damn, the backspace key isn’t working! Oh well. Pidgin, Adium’s analogue on other OSes, has a plugin available to enable this support. I noted this; I hope it gets some love soon.

Some of these games not actually as hidden as the title might suggest, but they are all pretty much gems.

A new one of these articles comes out about every week. So this one is the latest, best one, for now.
Watch Looks like Google made the hi-qual version go blooey, but this less-crystal version runs the same 87 minutes and makes the same points about the big banks and the working poor.
