It says "Johnny Cash spoofs Elvis, throws out back" if you can't see it.It probably wouldn't have killed CNN to mention that that link was for archived footage.Because otherwise, Mr. Johnny Cash spent his one and presumably only chance to walk once more amongst the living doing something, um, unexpected?If I were a Zombie Johnny Cash, I'd re-record every song as a zombie tribute to myself.

George Carlin, RIP.

Amazon.com was down today for anywhere from one to three hours, depending on who you ask.I love Amazon, and I'm making an early prediction here: some journalist or blogger is going to look at their financials and blusteringly announce that the outage cost Amazon.com so many thousands of dollars per minute.Their math?

I enjoy watching movies quite a bit, so, of course, I spend a good deal of time reading movie reviews. Through the powers of the series of tubes I can read hundreds of movie critics from all over the country, but over the years I've narrowed down my "must read" reviews to four sources. All of them present reviews that are mostly free of promotional material filler and almost all of them eschew

Winwood!So, you don't have to pay for music anymore.OK, that's not news. Stay with me.For a long time I had been relying on this Google search algorithm to find free music online. Replace "Judas Priest" (...shut up) in the quotes at the end with whatever band you're looking for and let Google do the heavy lifting for you.Lately, though, that's gone to crap.

Great article on Slate today reviewing a book about the parallel Christian pop culture that has exploded in the past 15-20 years.The whole article is fascinating, but the part about the stresses that Christian rock bands face was most interesting:The Christian rockers Radosh interviews are always torn between the pressure not to lead their young audience astray and the drive to make good music...

These days I use my iTunes shopping cart as a wishlist of sorts. I don't buy it very often, so right now there's a lot of stuff in there after I've recovered from the financial strain of moving and starting a new job.

Until I read this article from the Wall Street Journal:Facebook, with a stripped-down aesthetic well-attuned to grown-up sensibilities, is graying. The company won't be precise about the average age of its users, but it will say that the oldest age-group it tracks -- users 25 and older -- is also its fastest-growing....

It's the light, stupid:Why Are My Blood Veins Blue?Well, they’re not. They’re a dirty red. Of course, the darker blood won’t be as dark outside of the body because it will oxidize when hitting air, but it still contains waste from cells. Seeing a vein as

Think spelling and grammar don't matter? Try taking this quiz about Phishing schemes. The Amazon.com one was hardest for me.I got 10/10. Beat that! Oh, right. You can't.The most important part of the quiz is they tell you how to identify fake websites out to get your information. While the secret to some of them is the fake URL, for most of the sites the giveaways are that gawdawful Nigerian

Wow, Slate was really kicking ass on the Alps today.First, they unearthed the fax that Chimpy McFlightsuit used to cede power to Cheneytron while he was in surgery. Yes, a fax.

So I've finished Harry Potter. My only comment that I'll share on a blog right now is... has JK Rowling always used so many ellipses? I counted like 20 on one page. Use a period, lady!Now for something completely different: Famous Poems as Limericks!

OK, so I'm cheaping out again, but here's a side-by-side comparison of the divine cripple fight scene from South Park and the scene that inspired it frame-by-frame from the movie "They Live:" (umm, probably not safe for work if you couldn't gather from the words "South Park")The original is almost as funny as the South Park version, outlandishly enough.

This summer I have been working to redesign the website for a local newspaper. In the process, I've been putting together mock-ups of the new design. While the standard procedure is to fill these models with Greek text, I've mostly stuck with filling in some recent news stories to make it look more realistic.Naturally, this means I get to be Editor For A Day and write my own headlines:Perhaps I

Here's some wonderful lunacy from the gentlemen behind that new MTV show HUMAN GIANT (yes, it must be in all caps). The gist of it is the guys held a contest to pick 5 shitty songs for a mixtape.

Two internet advertising quips:First, as the Consumerist blog points out, perhaps Yahoo doesn't need to look far for the source of the looming housing crisis:Next, I received this prompt upon signing in to MySpace:Needless to say, I didn't try to save Britney.

Something's wrong with this picture:One of the nicest days of the year today, the kind of day where all the motorcycles and convertibles come out and everyone remembers that they liked going out for ice cream... and it'll be 24 degrees Thursday night.No fair! How am I supposed to drive around with the windows down blasting Fountains of Wayne (and Journey, of course) when it's sub-freezing?I guess

There's a preview for Spiderman 3 that's hitting the video sites. If you want to watch it, I've posted it below-- the first half is some story scenes and the second half is a battle. It has some minor spoilers, so if you don't want to know anything about the movie until May 4, skip this one.Holy shnikes that looked pretty awesome, didn't it? It's good to see director Sam Raimi still shows that

The beauty of the internet is that you're incredibly likely to find someone that shares your interests.If you're really lucky, you'll find people that share several of your interests and combine them in interesting ways.For example, (warning! this link is a Flash animation with sound!) this guy has found a way to combine typography, vector art, and animals—all things that I love dearly.For

I've never seen an episode of that wacky C.S.I.. Never got into that big laughfest (although I think Jorja Fox is definitely a hottie).On the other hand, I love the spin-off, C.S.I.: Miami; however, my love is very shallow. I only love the show for two superficial reasons:1. HDTV This is up there as the best-looking show on television right now if you own an HDTV. The sweeping helicopter shots

OK folks, before we dive into the wild world of The O.C. finale, let's get some background information.I stopped watching the show towards the end of season 3, so here's a recap of what I remember from the show and a primer for newbies:We'll start with the cast of characters:Ryan: AKA "McBroody." The bad boy from a broken family. Gets adopted by Sandy Cohen, his lawyer who takes sympathy on him.

Stay tuned, kids.Tomorrow, I will take part in the most important event ever to reach television screens.I will be live-blogging the finale of The O.C.. I followed this piece of hot garbage for years, and I'm damn sure not going to miss the ending.What do I expect from it? Well, I have a feeling it won't be the best episode, solely because Marissa can't die twice. But I'll try.Look for it to go

Turns out there's a new source of joygasms in Pittsburgh: Bon-Journey! The nation's only dual tribute band to Bon Jovi and Journey.Of course this would be a concept I instantly fall in love with. But it begs the question: Why aren't there more dual tribute bands?There need to be more. To get things started, Sweet Merciful Frank and I came up with some more potential dual tribute bands:Franz

Here's some of the stuff I enjoyed in 2006:MusicThe Decemberists - "The Crane Wife"While I can't decide if this is better or worse than their previous album, "Picaresque," I've enjoyed listening to this one trying to figure it out. It takes their progressive tendencies to a new extreme. Although it's not perfect throughout, after the buoyant closer "Sons & Daughters," you'll be happy you stuck

Some quick comments on recent newsSaddam Hussein Hanged: (Yes, it's "hanged," not "hung.") Although I can't say this is at all surprising, I do feel kind of disappointed. Iraq has a long and illustrious history of wars and takeovers marked by the slaying of the previous leaders; it might have been nice if they broke with that tradition. Maybe try something new, ya know? Do things with a little
