Help! It's the Hair Bear Bunch! I mean, the lawyers!!!

Just because you're dead doesn't mean you can't shut down something popular for copyright infringement.

I never seen them fing

I just realized all the people in "King of the Hill" have five fingers. And they look normal. So all that talk about cartoons having four fingers or it looks funny was just bunk.

Heyyyy!

BlogShares is back!!!

Interesting... burrrrp

Some new stats info I'm experimenting with. It tells me how much my blog sucks in 3D colour, with lots of pie charts.

Mmmmm.... charts.

Spiderman, schniderman

Miss Brandt! Where is that Peter Parker??? Doesn't he know this site is a tribute to the voice cast of the original Spider-Man series? And I'll prove Spider-Man is in cahoots with the Rhino, or my name isn't J. Jonah Jameson!

Scratch, eh?

I've been a Gmail god for a few hours... no invites to dole out yet, but
auctioning them off looks intriguing. Not for the money, mind you, but for the prestige.

Worship me

Don't know how long the invite was on my Blogger dashboard, but I am now one of the privileged few (million) with a Gmail account. This is the happiest day of my life.

Trippy

I don't know why this is so exciting... but listen to some of these recordings, and they'll take you back to a long ago, far away, telephone exchange.

Wheee!

Chewy chewy

Have they passed some sort of law requiring all new gum to be in "chiclet" form?

For history buffs

What a treasure trove the CBC Archives are. I just finished watching Barbara Frum go after Howard Cosell like a bulldog. Also, one of the most uncomfortable moments in Canadian TV history... Peter Gzowski interviews Iggy Pop on "90 Minutes Live", an incredibly lame attempt at a late night talk show -- watch as Peter sets the tone by announcing Iggy will not be able to perform because of some royalty dispute.

Look! It's a post

Well, it seems the pending arrival of Google's Gmail has Microsoft shaking in its boots... got this in my Hotmail today...

"We're rolling out email antivirus protection as well as enhanced storage to help meet your growing needs. This will make MSN Hotmail, a world class email service that both scans and cleans ingoing and outgoing email for viruses and worms before they enter your inbox.

"In addition to delivering world-class antivirus protection, you can also look forward to an upgrade in your storage capacity. In fact, you'll receive 125 times your current email storage with the introduction of a 250 MB inbox as well as the ability to send attachments up to 10 MB. "

I wonder if this means they're also adding the targeted advertising Gmail has.
