The e-mail above came in earlier today; clearly, my e-mail client (Thunderbird) didn’t think much of it.  ..bruce w..

Ever notice how those (bogus) ads that appear in Facebook or on blogs always claim that you have just won or will otherwise be given free the latest and greatest Apple products? You know, iPod, iPod Touch, MacBook, iPhone? Yep, the iPad has joined the list.

So, when was the last time you saw one of these for, say, a Microsoft Zune?

…or, rather, posted on YouTube. The funny thing is that the young woman above was just getting ready to video herself to post on YouTube when the Mexicali quake hit.

…the folks behind “DemonSheep 2010” have struck again. This is, I think, a better effort, though again overly long, and that image of Barbara Boxer’s floating head may haunt my dreams for a while (and not in a good way). Hat tip to Jim Geraghty’s “Morning Jolt” e-mail from the National Review Online. ..bruce w..

Deacon thirsts for your blood.

Actually, he’s a sweet old dog, though a bit crotchety and prone to barking. He turned 16 back in December, is mostly blind and hard of hearing, but still has a great appetite. He also has a great sense of smell — he can be asleep in our bedroom, but will wake up and start barking when I open the fridge in the kitchen and take out food.  ..bruce w..

…we can start looking at potential candidates for next year.  Hat tip to John in the comments to this post over at Language Log.  ..bruce w..

Gerard Van der Leun at American Digest implores that this performance spread far and wide. Go, little video!  ..bruce w..

That this comes from the Onion makes it all the better.  ..bruce w..
