BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Hurricane hits Hollywood shoots

It sounds like the hurricane could be on path to put some terrible movies out of their misery. I'm thinking specifically of projects involving Kevin Costner, Ashley Judd, and Lucy Lawless. Maybe our 2006 theater experience won't be as bad as 2005 has been?

Lonsberry: Just some Quotes

I hate the sound of Bob Lonsberry's voice. It's high pitched, whiney--very much like Super Dale from "Totally Awesome Computers". (Of course, my 17 month old daughter just loves him!) That being said, Lonsberry's head is squarely fastened on his shoulders. Yesterday, he broke a story about the Deseret News publishing a story- at the behest of Rocky Anderson- in exchange for some early information, turning the editorial reigns over to the Mayor! (I have yet to see this reported anywhere else, least of all, the Deseret News!)

So, here are some fantastic quotes, gathered by Lonsberry, that I find to be true as well.

Just some quotes I collected.

First Detailed Picture Of Migraine Attack

As a migraine sufferer myself I found this extremely interesting. Every eighth adult Swede has migraines (Does this seem to be a high number to any one else but me?) The researcher tried to develop a highly detailed picture of how the symptoms progress from hour to hour over a 72 hour period leading the researchers to the conclusion that drugs can be taken any time and have reasonable effect.

Later on the article began to state too much of the obvious.

"A majority of those affected report negative impact on the highest ranking factors in life, such as family life and the ability to perform their work and enjoy meaningful leisure time." Translation: Swedes don't like headaches.

MapYourAncestors.com - Bringing Genealogy To Life

I was just getting ready to do something like this on my own (for myself) when somebody beat me to the punch. It sounds like they do a fantastic job. All you need to do is email them your family tree and they will complete a Map of your genealogy.

MAKE: Blog: The Grower bot...

File this under useless but fun. This robots entire job is to hug the walls and draw grass on the wall based on the CO2 levels in the room. I'm tempted to ask why, but it is just too cool. Now they just need a bot that mows the lawn based on the frequency of the nagging that takes place in the room. :)

Yahoo! Search Results for define:et al

I know 8 million search results doesn't seem like a lot, but being number one on that list should raise an eyebrow! The majority of the visits to my blogs lately are coming from this search. They are lost souls searching for an answer to the question, "what does 'et al' mean?" It's a shame that nobody has commented on that post yet, because I'd really like to know myself. Are there no Latin authorities in the blogosphere?

Update: Since posting this I have been demoted to the second result.

The Tax Foundation - White House Effort to Create a "Predatory Bureau"?

Not long ago, I remember watching Alan Greenspan say that all Government programs/jobs ought to considered dispensable. Even Greenspans job would be 'fair game' if he could not justify his own existence. It seems that the Whitehouse is moving in that direction with the creation of a new Bureau. Of course, if the Predatory Bureau whose aim is to ferrett out the wasteful programs, becomes obsolete itself, then it should also be eliminated.
