Oh I love a good Palin interview with a side of FAIL!

The TV Watch – A Question Reprised, but the Words Come None Too Easily for Palin – NYTimes.com:

Her first interview, with the ABC News anchor Charles Gibson, was too hard. The second, with Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel, was too soft. The third, however, did not turn out to be just right for Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.

On the CBS Evening News on Thursday, Katie Couric asked Ms. Palin, Senator John McCain?s running mate, what she meant when she cited Alaska?s proximity to Russia as foreign affairs experience. Ms. Palin could have anticipated the question ? the topic of their interview, pegged to her visit to the United Nations, was foreign affairs. Yet Ms. Palin?s answer was surprisingly wobbly: her words tumbled out fast and choppily, like an outboard motor loosened from the stern.

And when you are done watching that one, there is always this one. :)

If I ever had an iphone, I’d use one of these for sure!  This would be helpful for geocahcing too!

Comcast kills the USENET. :(

Comcast aka Comcraptic has decided to go ahead and kill USENET access.  For those of you who do not know, this was pretty much how the internet was started, and my first experience “online”. I guess there is no room for uncensored communication in the new Web 2.0.

Sullivan on Frum on Palin, King on time.

Check out the nice summary that Andrew Sullivan posted which, pretty much sums up how silly these ads/media and hype are getting over this presidential election. Frum on Palin.

Mike King posted a nice article this week as well, on 10 Ways to Simplify and Eliminate Waste in Your Life. I’ve been flipping back and forth from it today and it makes quite a bit of sense.
