Yes, Rob O., that is indeed THE Jeff Bezos.
Smoking ban workaround in bars: Hold "theater nights"
February 25, 2008 5:21pm
I think this is great, actually. I really dislike smoking and have lost relatives to it--HOWEVER, I've never been subjected to it, as an adult, against my will. If I didn't feel like inhaling secondhand smoke, I knew which places to avoid.
If like-minded people want to go out, have a drink, and smoke indoors, more power to them. At the time of Seattle's smoking ban around 80% of establishments were non-smoking already.

That's all you've got, Malcolm?

I wonder how many of you anti-Randians have ever actually read her essays.
Anti-racism girl: high school-produced superhero PSA

One word: dorky (though the girl sort of looks like my girlfriend would have at that age, so that gets her some points)
Three-eyed piglet with two snouts

Looks like holoprosencephaly (do a Google image search if you're not squeamish--lots of human examples)
Delta blues and Tuvan throat-singing: Paul Pena and Genghis Blues
January 19, 2008 6:50pm
Great doc--loved it when it came out and picked it up on DVD last year.
Surprised no one's mentioned that almost everyone reading this has heard at least one Paul Pena song before: "Jet Airliner," made famous by one Steve Miller...
Reading of the US Constitution

More proof that the Democrats have no cojones.
Costco's funeral department
December 6, 2007 5:00pm
Better to buy from Costco than from SCI! But honestly--why waste your money on a casket that's going right in the ground? Cremation, y'all...
Woman cremates dead son who wasn't dead son

Yeah--good thing the mistake was as to identity and not whether or not the crematee was breathing..
Fresh-baked cookies used as torture implement
November 6, 2007 11:27pm
So they just happened to have been baking cookies (from a tube or a mix?) when this went down?
And they just happened to have piss in a bottle lying around?
Man am I glad I don't live in that apartment, house, dorm, or whatever--guess "pigsty" would be the best term.
Radiohead DRM-free "box-set"
November 6, 2007 12:57am
Like I said over at Amazon Earworm (http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/post/PLNKQJRKSY713VW1), this doesn't seem to be that great a deal.
"£79.99--or somewhere around $160--for a USB stick? Seems a bit overpriced to me....what's that work out to, nearly $23 per album? And I thought the rise of the net was supposed to bring music prices DOWN :)
I see the digital download is £34.99, so that means £45 for the stick itself, although the one is MP3s and the other is WAVs, so I suppose it isn't ALL for the stick--some of it is for higher fidelity.
Call me crazy, but I'd still rather have the physical package for £39.99--around $11.50 per disc isn't that unreasonable."
