Sarah Palin/Katie Couric parody

What I think would be awesome, just do the interview parody straight. Palin was so goofy in those interviews there was no need to change what she said to parody her. They could have just redone the interviews verbatim and it would have been hilarious! Here’s the original in case you haven’t seen it:

iPhone shuffle usability suck

My iPhone is the fifth iPod I’ve owned over the years, so I’m pretty familiar with how they work. One thing that has been bugging me about the iPhone though is that there was no shuffle mode without going into a playlist and hitting the shuffle button at the top of the list. This seems [...]

Sarah Palin, a “.22 caliber mind in a .357 world.”

The writers on West Wing said it best… The metaphor seems particularly apt when watching Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric where she is so obviously out of her depth that it is scary.

It reminds me greatly of the wonderful Russian Ark film in both character and style, but the performances are simply wonderful and unique.

Nice discussion of white box and developer-driven testing in Google Chrome comic book

I debated copying the scans from blogoscoped.com or referencing the images here, but I decided instead to refer you to the appropriate pages to be a good blog citizen. Getting Scott McCloud to write a comic book announcing your product is a great idea. He did a great job distilling some complicated stuff into a [...]

Palin’s Teen Daughter Is Pregnant; New G.O.P. Tumult – NYTimes.com

To be sure, Palin is sticking to her guns. She opposes abortion in any circumstances. So, her daughter is going to have a child and get married instead of going to college. Too bad she also stuck by her guns in her opposition to sex education and contraception, otherwise this might not have happened in [...]
