Okay, that sounds about right then. Jerry should feel right at home.
Mets Fire Manager Willie Randolph - NYTimes.com →
Well, shit. I guess someone had to take the fall, I just wish it weren’t Willie. If he weren’t hitting, I’d be upset, but…
Oh well. Thus ends the Randolph era for the Mets. Long live Jerry Manuel.

Wait, what?!?

Shatner on 'Trek': 'You know, that's rather good'... →
The Shat rarely watches himself? I find this hard to believe; it feels like everything he does is intentionally wrought with self-deprecating irony.
I’m dubious.

And dammit, Wired, stop messing with me. I still haven’t finished watching Season 2 of Torchwood…

I don’t know which is better - having The Mandarin as the villian in the next Iron Man, or reading that Robert Downey Jr. is filming a Hugh Hefner biography.
Times Reader

Someone please explain what features is offers over the Times website that don’t scream “dead-tree publication trying to milk out its content for as long as...
Turning off the TV
So, I haven’t been watching much TV at all recently. I’ve got a queue of Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, and Torchwood episodes that I’d like to watch, but in short, my old habits of turning on SportsCenter in the morning, or the Today show, or watching Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are done.
This morning was a perfect example; after having my cup of coffee on the front...

Wow.
I wish I had Sith powers, just to smite those who interrupt me pre-coffee.
That’d be awesome.
Biking
So, we went biking this weekend. It was *fantastic*.
There’s a 3.7 mile hiking/trailrunning/biking trail around the WISC, which conveniently runs within a hundred yards of the house, give or take. We went biking there three times this weekend, and I’m sore, but feeling fantastic.
My old bike is holding up really well, too. I need to figure out a name for it; I’m thinking...

After watching “Pirates of Silicon Valley” again, this article is a neat footnote in Apple’s history. It’d be fun to read a similar article on the Apple ///.
