I have been really lame lately when it comes to blogging. Twitter has been stealing my blogging ideas with the ease of using TweetDeck and TwitterBerry. Here’s a quick one that I won’t let Twitter steal.
I didn’t see SNL last night, but I just saw the opening skit via the Chicago Tribune web site, of all places. Tina Fey did a great job as Palin. Check it out:

Hopefully I will be less lame in the future.
Update: Not even an hour later, and I am foiled. YouTube pulled the clip from last night. Here’s NBC’s clip, which is of better quality, but it has a pre-roll ad:

Update: Argh! NBC sucks. Not only did they get the clip pulled from YouTube, but their embed code doesn’t even show the correct video. Here’s the actual page where the video is. Don’t click on the ads. Stupid NBC.
I heard about this on the radio this morning, but I completely forgot about it on my walk from the car into the office. Thanks to Clint for reminding me.
This was posted a few weeks ago on The Daily Dish, but I only just had a chance to watch it. It’s a compilation of TNG clips that shows a racier side to the show. There are parts that are a bit drawn out, so feel free to skip 30 seconds every now and then; there’s almost ten minutes of video!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything of substance here. I’ve been too busy with real life lately that I haven’t had much time to pound out a full post. A lot of what I’ve had to say over the past few weeks has ended up on either Twitter or my shared items. Some of those items are NSFW, or will at least result in strange looks from those around you.
As you may have read, I took the leap and bought Xbox 360 Elite and Rock Band, stimulating the economy just a little bit. So far I think it was money well-spent. I found out last week at Pete’s graduation party that Mike and I actually have different versions of the Xbox 360. I was unable to plug my AC adapter into his Xbox 360, and I found out that there was a change to the design sometime between June 2007 and January 2008. This resulted in a lower-power AC adapter for my Xbox 360, which has a different plug than Mike’s. It was pretty annoying, because the Xbox 360 Wikipedia entry is the only place I was able to find why I couldn’t use my AC adapter with his Xbox 360.
With the new console, I also signed up for a Xbox Live Gold membership with the gamertag markomni80. I tried to sign up with markomni, but the registration site kept telling me it was in use. After being frustrated with it for a few days, I gave up trying to get my gamertag and just signed up with my alternate screenname. Now I can do cool things like purchase new songs for Rock Band and play the game with Hersch or Mike or whomever.
I’m not going to pussyfoot here: intelligent design is anything but intelligent. I have a clear bias on this one. Here are some videos that show what’s wrong with those that believe in intelligent design (not all creationists believe in intelligent design):
There are 19 videos in all. The series was created by YouTube user Thunderf00t. I’m in the middle of the third video right now, and so far I find the videos quite entertaining. I know most of the science in the videos, so there isn’t much educating happening for me.
Tell me what you think of the videos in the comments.
A number of people have asked me about this Twitter thing that I do now. I try to explain that it is sort of like a mini-blog or a collection of away messages publicizing what I am doing at the time. Sometimes they get it, other times they don’t. Robert Scoble (a.k.a. Scobleizer) tweeted a link to this video: Twitter in Plain English. Check out the wonders of Twitter:
In a stunning revelation that is sure to upset the governing overlords, today Diebold leaked the 2008 Presidential election results, more than eight months ahead of schedule. For many years, the winner of the Presidential election was not publicly announced before noon on Election Day, at which point the governing overlords assumed that there were enough votes cast to safely "call" a winner without arousing suspicions. Not so this year. Any voter can walk into the booth on November 4 confident that his vote does not, in fact, count for anything:
Seeing this news story reminds me of when I discovered professional wrestling was just a couple of stage actors groping each other in their underwear.
