Writers Guild of America on strike!
Monday, November 05, 2007
Dedicated to my friend RJ at TVO.
Fight on, Writers Guild of America! I support your efforts to ensure that you receive a piece of the action from new media sales. You deserve it! Though I'm not a major TV watcher, as a person who always wanted to write for a television show or movie, I stand in support of your striking for better contracts.
On the bright side of things, those few people who still watch Saturday Night Live won't have to be subjected to the music of Amy Winehouse. Does anyone even watch SNL anymore? I know I sure don't!

Quick Picks
- From the Washington Post: A simplified chart of the McCain tax cuts vs. Obama tax cuts.
- Matt Damon on Sarah Palin: "You do the actuary tables, there's a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn't survive his first term, and it'll be President Palin. It's like a really bad Disney movie, "The Hockey Mom.' Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president. "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd." Amen!
- Google's new browser, Chrome, passes the ACID2 test with flying colors. w00t.
- Karl Rove calls Joe Biden a "big blowhard doofus". Yeah, coming from the closest thing to a real-life Emperor Palpatine that really stings. LOL.
- McCain's running mate has a pregnant and unwed 17 year old daughter. Family values indeed!
- Command line to GUI to command line. And so we've coming full circle: Mozilla introduces Ubiquity, a mash up command line for the web.
- What's the best part about Fox News at the DNC? THIS is the best part! The crowd chanting "Fuck Fox News" at the end of it made my bad day turn around!
- China's Olympic gymnasts may not be old enough to compete. "Shocking" that China is cheating again. It happened in the Sydney Olympics, too. CHEATERS!
- Coolest video you'll see today: Space Shuttle launch recorded from an airplane.
