Bag of Randomness

  • I have a feeling there’s a hydrogen bomb inside this statue, but I’m not sure why it only has four toes.
  • I’m talking about the TV show Lost in case you were wondering.
  • I bet the women Ben was talking to in the church is Faraday’s mother, and she knows that Desmond will reach her in 72 hours.  You may be thinking that there is no way Desmond and family can sail from the UK to L.A. in that amount of time, I think we are seeing two different time lines.
  • Why can’t coffee always greet you with a smile.
  • I finished our taxes and the refund should be direct deposited shortly.  It felt great getting that out of the way.
  • I’m not a fan when Super Bowl commercials are introduced to the public before the Super Bowl.  I prefer the anticipation and surprise.
  • Brian Williams makes a great guest on any talk show, the man is funny and looks great for being 50 years old.
  • Real life Monopoly.  Link
  • I watched the beginning of Jeopardy yesterday and was surprised at the new intro, I likeded it when that sphere exploded inn ten thousand pieces but that is no longer the case.
  • I got an email for a package deal to travel to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas to view the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders swimsuit calendar photo shoot and be a VIP guest that includes a meet and great.  That whole idea just seems kinda pervey, but it includes two free dolphin interactions which does sound cool.  If you are interested, check it out here.
  • The GOP isn’t as popular as it use to be, and appears to be heading for even more trouble.  I recall my blogging friend Barry predicting this a while back stating the growing minority population as the reason.  But who knows, It was only six years ago everyone was saying the Democrats were dead and buried.  It just seems these things go in cycles.
  • Heinz is saying good-bye to the pickle.
  • The projector phones seems cool, but I don’t think I would ever need that function.  Check out a video review of it here, the projector piece comes in about the six minute mark.
  • The Clergy Letter Project is trying to broker peace with science and religion, in particular, evolution.  And yes, I’m one of those that happens to be a believer in evolution.
  • I had a dream that I was the new host of the Wheel of Fortune.  I wonder when Pan and Vanna will step down?
  • Storm Troopers riding dogs.  Link
  • I think there are certain parts of the recently passed stimulus package that could have been better allocated.  But I give props to Obama for meeting with the Republicans even though he didn’t need their votes to get the bill passed.  I also liked how his administration contacted Citi before the bought that new luxury jet.
  • If you want to keep up with the fashion of the first lady, there’s a blog devoted to it: http://www.mrs-o.org/
  • There’s rumors of her being pregnant, which was the reason why she wasn’t wearing a form fitting dress at the inaugural balls.
  • Politico has a section in which they track the president’s schedule, I found it kind of interesting.  Link
  • The ultimate British male.  Link
  • There’s a lot of concern about Jessica Simpson’s weight, but I was actually more surprised that she was singing at a chili cook-off.

  • The story of the Google Chrome logo.  Link
