Everybody Loves Audrey
Audrey Hepburn, The Gap, AC/DC - This is... weird. But very cool. Apparently skinny pants are 'in'?
**UPDATE**
The old video was taken down I guess, which sucks because it was the full 60 sec version... oh well, here's the half-as-long version:

"I Call Bull-s@#t!" - Clinton Interviewed on Fox News Sunday
Way to go Billy - no one else seems to want to make those mofos at Fox News admit their indiscretions. Maybe when you're an 'ex' president you don't need to worry about the 'fallout' quite as much eh? What a great interview! This is the first 20 minutes of Bill Clinton’s interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. In this clip, Wallace asks Clinton why he didn’t do more to capture or kill Osama bin Laden while he was in office. Clinton clearly feels like he has been set up and doesn’t hold back in telling Wallace just how he feels. full transcript here: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/09/24/fox-clinton-interview-part-1-osama-bin-laden/ |

Cool Stuff For Cool Moms
Recent events have inevitably lead my daydreams to have a decidedly 'daddy' bent to them lately (though the days of actually being a real daddy are off in the distant distant future) and I've been noticing how much cool stuff there is out there for parents to have/use in caring for their new offspring.
Here's a few of my favourites I've noticed over the past few days:
Here's a few of my favourites I've noticed over the past few days:
- Custom Maternity Tees from LAB 40 (I esp dig the "Not A Virgin" design)
- Creature Co-op Monster Toques (check out that crazy yeti!)
- The Body Ninja Bag for Dads
- Berry Stripey Boots from Pluey (these are for the kids but there are some wicked "puddle stompers" for mom in there too!)
- The Whiz Kid (what a GREAT idea!!)
- 3G Buggy Board
- WubbaNub Pacifiers (how cute is that DUCK?!)
- Blankees from The Blankee Company (buttery soft chamois suede? oh yeah...)
- The Sweetness Pouch (I love this idea) (I pretty much love all slings in general though)
- Cool Stuff From PhilAndTeds.com (nice website too)

As Thin As A Photograph
Strange things abrew in the world today... a liberal government in Lord country, a military coup in Thailand, and now this - digital subject 'slimming' in HP cameras?!
Here's a couple of links to help illustrate what I'm talking about.
I know this is going to strike a nerve in some of you out there (Morgan! Dan! Get ready to light up that comment board), but in the interest of getting my opinion out ahead of the herd, I'd just like to say I think this is totally sick. I mean, sure it isn't anything you can't do with a decent pixel editor and some know-how, but to make it AUTOMATIC and to put it into consumer cameras? Totally icky indeed.
With the seeming revival of the 'consumerist' culture (which I most closely associate with the '80s), as evidenced by the mere existence of some types of art/artists/douche-bags, perhaps this is an inevitable occurance - that we will come to define our sense of self worth solely from out appearance, and thus, our percieved appearance becomes more important than the actual physical reality of our appearance?
Again - this seems rather strange to me. Please weigh in.

.... That guy'll f*** anything...
Check it out boys and girls - a little Norm MacDonald action c/o The Daily Show. Be sure to watch through to the end, because the bit about Peter McKay is priceless:

I was 'this close'!
In case you've ever thought you could come up with a better ending for Star Wars IV, (who hasn't?) here's a little youtube action to fill that fantasy. Just remember: It's ALL Leia's fault.
Schooner Points
This past weekend Morgan and I went on a romantic weekend away (to the Miramichi) and got ENGAGED! Pretty awesome, eh?
