I don’t know how many of you are BSG fans, but I found this very amusing:
I tried to embed the video using the HTML code, but I couldn’t get it to work. Any suggestions?
[Update: I fixed the embed. -mbh]
He’s refusing to answer questions about whether he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. I assume he didn’t do it, but why won’t he talk about it if he’s innocent?
Go to http://gb1990.com for all the details.
Update: Glenn Beck apparently now controls the domain DidGlennBeckRapeAndMurderAYoungGirlIn1990.com. Why would you want to have a domain like that? Specifically, why would you have that domain and not be willing to talk about it? Is it because he’s not innocent? I think he needs to address the issue.
I had to go to the Apple store yesterday to get another power supply for my laptop. I have three places where I use the computer (office, home, and apartment) and I kept forgetting my existing one one place or another. Anyway, if you have lots of them you don’t have to carry them around.
While I was there though, I picked up one of Apple’s new Magic Mice. I have to say that it’s definitely the best bluetooth mouse I’ve ever used. The laser tracking is really nice, it has decent heft, and fits in your hand well. The cool thing though is that the surface of the mouse works as a multi-touch trackpad so you can scroll around by sliding your finger on the surface of the mouse. It works really nicely. Right and left click work too with the mouse sensing which finger you’re using to click.
Now for the negatives.
1) I didn’t actually need a new mouse, but couldn’t help myself.
2) There isn’t a middle mouse button, which would be handy for pasting in UNIX programs. I assume this could be fixed in software though.
3) I actually prefer a corded mouse. (The batteries in the Magic Mouse are supposed to last around 4 months, so this might just not be an issue.)
So, in conclusion, both of Apple’s mice right now are pretty good and I really like the “Mighty Mouse” (now just the “Apple Mouse”), but the ball on my old mice seem to get jammed up every 6 months or so sending the mice to mouse heaven. The fact that the new mouse doesn’t have any moving parts should hopefully solve that problem.
A couple older relatives and friends of mine recently got burned by a spam/malware/phishing issue that traces back to desktopdate d0t net. Does anybody have any experience/knowledge of this?
I’ve found this but at least one of the people involved claims to have not clicked on the email, but still had many invites issued on their behalf to the contents of their address book.
In honor of 20 years of Simpsons (holy crap, really?), the November issue of Playboy is going to have Marge on the cover, posing with a bunny chair and little else:
No word on how much of Marge will be shown inside the issue, but “it’s very, very racy,” said editorial director James Jellinek, adding “she is a stunning example of the cartoon form.”
Evidently Hefner’s enterprise is worried that young people don’t like porn?
“We knew that this would really appeal to the 20-something crowd,” said Playboy spokeswoman Theresa Hennessey.
Apparently the Simpsons issue goes on sale in newstands next week, but subscribers to the magazine will find their copies “have a more traditional live model on the cover.”
Some may not be familiar with Carl Sagan and the Cosmos (both the book and TV series – I think viewable for free on Netflix and Hulu), but you should check him out. This little musical ditty turns good quotes from his TV series and a couple Stephen Hawking bits into a pretty damn decent track. Check it out.

BTW – how does one embed YouTube into the blog? It seems to just post a link if I use the upload / insert function in the editor…
