A Little Knowledge
It's nerdy of me, but I think Wikipedia (the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit) is amazing.
For example, it has an entry on the very recently deceased son of Anna Nicole Smith. And remember that Israel/Lebanon conflict that just ended? Its entry has all you need to know.
How in the world can the old encyclopedias compete with this?
My What?
Fox 4 News was doing some story tonight about some Watuaga cop that got fired for having a myspace.com page that was "inappropriate."
But when the (heavily produced pre-packaged) story flashed to a computer screen in illustrate the myspace.com website, something didn't seem quite right.
Cruise and Holmes at the Redskins Game Last Night
I feel a lot of empathy towards the man all of a sudden.
Saturday Night Gone Wrong
Excerpt from DMN story this morning that made me laugh:
D'Angelo Lee, the embattled former Dallas city plan commissioner and a target of the FBI's City Hall corruption investigation, was arrested early Sunday morning on public intoxication charges after claiming employees at an all-nude strip club stole thousands of dollars from him. . . . Mr. Lee . . . flagged down police at 3 a.m. Sunday outside Club Knubian Fantaciez, a dance club at Mockingbird Lane and Harry Hines Boulevard that police say turns into a venue featuring all-male strippers after midnight. According to police reports, he told authorities that three men – one naked, one wearing only a towel – had attacked him and thrown him out of the club, breaking his glasses and stealing his crocodile-skin wallet in the process.
Probably A Funny Idea At That Time

And "sneaked off with" instead of "snuck off with"? I would have screwed that one up.

I Don't Care . . .
. . . about the minor league baseball team of the Fort Worth Cats or that they won some championship this week in Minnesota. But I did get a giggle out of this guy getting arrested for some crazy (alleged) bar fight after the game.
Him? Fight? In a bar? Naaaaaaaa.
The Kid . . .
. . . from The Sixth Sense got busted for DWI a while back. Now I know why: Walker, Texas Ranger, scarred him for life.
My 2.3 Seconds Of Fame
This is the most horrible pic in the world that I pulled off TIVO, but that red arrow is actually pointing at my head.
It was funny to find that portion of the video to try and find myself. I'll swear I had to look at 15 times before I was able to locate myself (and I knew where I was sitting and what I was wearing.)
CNN
In commeroration of 9/11, CNN is broadcasting on its website in "real time" what it showed on its TV station on that day. It's just like you had turned on CNN on 9/11 at the moment you click on the link. If you click on it at 7:02 p.m. tonight, it starts as if it were 7:02 p.m. on 9/11. You can't fast forward. You can't rewind.
But it's pretty fascinating. If interested, go to CNN and click on the link seen above.
Edit: There also appears to be a couple of links to watch the first three hours of the coverage.
Edit #2: I went back and watched CNN's coverage of the first 30 minutes and it was fascinating. I'd never seen CNN's coverage and now I know why: They had cut to a WABC the local New York affiliate at the time. But is was sheer chaos. One witness actually referred to the second aircraft as a "small airplane with a propeller." And no one would speculate that it was an actual attack. I remember Charlie Gibson say at the very moment of the second plane, "This appears to be some type of concerted effort."
