I want to bitch about this stupidness.  Apparently thousands of people play these numbers in the lottery every day, just because they were featured in a television show.

I don’t even want to attack how dumb it is to play the lottery, we can take that as a given, I think.  And I don’t think any set of numbers is really any dumber than any other set of numbers.  I’m sure every number set has the same incredibly miniscule chance of actually getting picked.

This is a pretty sweet idea: a video internet time capsule.

I recorded one a couple months ago, and as a result I’m in this promo video. Hey, that’s not my favorite shirt anymore. How quickly things change!
