Oh, that was unexpected...heh

Cam Newton just won the Heisman Trophy.

How long does he get to keep it before it is stripped from him?

Edit at 8:57 pm EST: He just thanked the troops.

I love her...

No, seriously...I think she is wonderful.

But...she says that she doesn't use the internet?

Is it because she is a Luddite or that it is difficult to shoplift online?

Music for a Friday Night

While looking over a list over critics' (and others) favorite (or best) albums of 2010, I noticed that Sasha Frere-Jones had selected The Budos Band's III as his favorite album.

This was surprising because...well because I didn't know the album existed.

So, using the power of iTunes, I was able to purchase the album.

It is as amazing as the last two.

Now, some of you are asking yourself, who are these people?

Just give a listen. It is a wonderfully retro sound, with horns and funk and Afro-Caribbean rhythms.

2010: Google's Year in Review

I love that Jimmy McMillan made the list.

I think the largest faux pas I made this year was asking publicly on the morning of January 13th asking if the media wasn't making too big a deal about this earthquake. Yes, I was the a**hole on that one.

I can tell you the meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown

"Lights, please..."

Who thought this was a good idea to show to young children? Charlie Brown is depressed. Lucy is a bossy c**t. Linus is a head case. Peppermint Patty is like a cocktail party guest who corners you and talks to you until you want to slit your throat from ear to ear.
