Screech
Screech in a sex tape? The horror…the horror. I wonder if this will help him save his house.

TastyWiki
As an experiment and to amuse myself, I’ve setup a wiki. Specifically, I’ve setup the TastyWiki a wiki about food. I’m interested in how this evolves. Hopefully, people will contribute, and if they don’t, at the very least they will find it an resource.
Making of “Every Breath You Take”
The story of the making of The Police’s “Every Breath You Take.” Sting playing bass on a trampoline! How irritating!
More lies about global warming
I noticed that a lot of people are blogging about a speech made by Senator James Inhofe. I don’t really expect Senators to understand science, or for that matter, read. But what is interesting in this case is the depth of the misrepresentation. In his speech, Inhofe attacks the work of climate scientist Michael Mann. Claiming that “In 2006, both the National Academy of Sciences and an independent researcher further refuted the foundation of the “hockey stick.— The ‘hockey stick’ is the marked increase in the rate of warming observed in the 20th century. Sounds pretty conclusive, right? National Academy of Sciences refuted it right? WRONG. If you read the report, which is available in full from the National Academy of Sciences, you will find that the NAS panel which evaluated the work expressed some skepticism. However, you will also find that “the committee finds it plausible that the Northern Hemisphere was warmer over the last few decades of the 20th century than during any comparable period over the preceding millenium.”
Shame on Inhofe for lying and shame on the right for perpetuating these lies by repeating them. Of course it might just be that he’s an idiot.

Chow
Chow.com has launched. The food magazine ran for a few issues about a year ago before being purchased by CNET. The content tends to be lighter than the more substantial Gourmet, but that can be a good thing if you are looking for a quick read.

Making an example of them
The Department of Justice has put up a scary notice at the site formerly known as iBackups.net. The site’s owner Nathan Peterson was convicted of software piracy and will spend the next 87 months in prison. To add insult to injury, Mr. Peterson will have to forfeit all the property acquired using his ill-gotten gains and pay $5.4 Million in restitution.
