This makes me depressed.

No WTC in this one.

Mom travels 900 miles to deliver Gameboy to her son, who was on a trip to learn about life without modern amenities...

What the hell is wrong with people?

Stupid, stupid, person.

Hope it doesn't come to that.

Good commentary on editorializing.

This just makes me sick.

One of the best statements George W Bush has made.
...And as we do so, I urge -- I know I don't need to tell you all this -- but our nation must be mindful that there are thousands of Arab-Americans who live in New York City, who love their flag just as much as the three of us do, and we must be mindful that as we seek to win the war that we treat Arab-Americans and Muslims with the respect they deserve. I know that is your attitude as well -- certainly the attitude of this government: that we should not hold one who is a Muslim responsible for an act of terror.

Please, no retaliation against innocents.

It just makes me mad.

In the mean time, people still go on hating other people.

Okay, this is just crap.

Billy McHale's is filing for bankruptcy. They blame the Seattle Mariners good season for their woes. They say people are staying home to watch the game, instead of going out to eat. The kicker is the list at the end of the article, showing "high-profile" closures. On the list is Jake O'Shaughnessey's which closed in March on St. Patrick's Day. So clearly this is because the Mariner's fantastic season, which didn't begin until April caused all the people to stay home.

ACK. BRAIN HURT.

The title of the article is really misleading here. It suggests that playing video games can cause brain problems. The actual research says that when playing video games, certain areas of the brain are stimulated, while others lay dormant, and that other activities better stimulate those parts of the brain left dormant. So really, the suggestion here is that you shouldn't let your kids just play video games. Duh. I don't know any kids that only play video games. Plus they didn't say what kind of video games they were playing. And at any rate, I'm guessing that playing video games is better than watching most tv shows.

From Plastic.com: 'Crossing Over' Parody from McSweeney's.

I hate that John Edwards guy. He's so sleazy.

Okay heavy Flash weirdness.

Oddly catchy, though.

More cell phone rudeness.

I was amazed, here, all of these people were way over the line. I haven't had the movie theater thing happen, but I've gone to presentations by the higher-ups of large companies (like Microsoft) where people forget to turn off the cell phone ringer. Also, I've had people in classes get cell phone calls. I should note that I have a cell phone. I try to use it politely, though.

Hey, this is actually a pretty cool concept.

I'm not a big popcorn eater, but this actually sounds pretty cool. I really can't stand most of the microwave popcorns; they have a weird smell and usually I end up with a headache. So if this isn't processed like that, it might actually be a good thing.

And I was with them right up until Pop N Go Chief Executive Mel Wyman said this:
How many times have you been hungry for something hot, salty and quick?

I don't believe I've ever been hungry for something hot, salty and quick.

Okay, irony time.

Plants brought over from Asia ("Lucky Bamboo") to enhance Feng Shui, also bring over nesting Asian tiger mosquitoes, which can carry dengue fever.

Maybe I should just try aromatherapy.

Via Metafilter: Nominees for worst parents in the world.

This whole story just gives me chills. The fact and any parents would believe this to be the right thing to do just freaks me out. My god, there's a huge damn hole in humanity that spawns this crap and I don't know where it comes from.

Ichiro bobble-heads to be given away this Sat. at Safeco Field.

Madness to ensue. Apparently:
Uniformed Seattle police and Mariners security will patrol the lines all night. Anyone cutting in will be sent to the end.
Wow, I wonder if you get a ticket for "cutting in line." Anyway, the bobble-head I want is the Sasaki bobblehead being given out Sept. 8. Personal reasons.
