While I don't generally condone party crashing, when that party's President Obama's first state dinner, I can't blame a person for trying. And for succeeding? Clearly Michaele and Tariq Salahi (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/25/tareq-and-michaele-salahi_n_371336.html) are the greatest party crashers of all time. Awesome.

An iPhone app called CatPaint (http://catpaint.info/) caught my eye today. It enables a user to add cat images to any photo. Was ready to grab it until I realized cats show up in my photos without my adding them. Where's the cat removal app? [+/-] Hide/Show Text [+/-] Hide/Show Text
Entering the cemetery to visit Tanya's grandfather, I spotted a sign that read "No Hunting without Permission." My immediate thought was "What jackass would hunt at a cemetery?" Turns out it's this d-bag pointing a rifle out of the window of his pick-up truck. Disrespectful and lazy. [+/-] Hide/Show Text [+/-] Hide/Show Text
Made the mistake of walking by the poundcake (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/search/label/Poundcake) table at Whole Foods today. Not only were they on sale, but they brought out the seasonal pumpkin poundcake. I couldn't resist. And I really should have.
A month ago, I implied that Conan O'Brien recycles punchlines (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/search?q=Kirstie+Alley) to the point that a drinking game can be made of them. Seems I wasn't the only one who noticed and one of those punchlines, Kirstie Alley, has bitten back on Twitter.
Not sure if that's terribly accurate, but yeah the "Kirstie Alley is fat jokes" are wearing thin, not to mention extremely dated. [+/-] Hide/Show Text [+/-] Hide/Show Text
Today, Google announced "street view" for the 50th State Hawaii in Google Maps. Not only can I now see my house from here, there's my sister (http://tinyurl.com/yg2ryar) getting the mail at work. :D [+/-] Hide/Show Text [+/-] Hide/Show Text
After SNL's Seth and Amy went off on Goldman Sachs (http://www.google.com/search?q=Gold+Man+Sacks) for getting doses of the swine flu vaccine ahead of many at-risk groups, I decided to test a theory. I was right. [+/-] Hide/Show Text [+/-] Hide/Show Text
Time shifting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_shifting), the practice of watching shows at a more convenient time after their initial broadcast, is awesome. I'm enjoying that quite a bit on my new media PC, both recording TV shows and streaming from Hulu. On the other hand, clock shifting, the practice of flipping clocks back an hour to "save daylight," sucks hard.
Yes, it's time once again for me to rant against Daylight Saving Time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time) and the absurd notion that anyone in the modern world needs this arbitrary construct. We have ample artificial light. People can work productively any time of day. We don't need to rely on the sun to tell us when to work, and those who do can just work different hours. Why we all must suffer a clock shift is beyond me. [+/-] Hide/Show Text [+/-] Hide/Show Text
