Cheney drunk at hunting accident ?

Interesting article on Cheney and the hunting accident.

We talked with a number of administration officials who are privy to inside information on the Vice President's shooting "accident" and all admit Secret Service agents and others say they saw Cheney consume far more than the "one beer' he claimed he drank at lunch earlier that day.

"This was a South Texas hunt," says one White House aide. "Of course there was drinking. There's always drinking. Lots of it."

Ed calls AT&T Wireless

Found this very funny podcast, after hearing a promo on Adam Curry's Dailysourcecode. Well actually some stuff is rather sad ;). The state of some 'customer service' is rather bad...

Ed calls AT&T Wireless: "Ed calls AT&T Wireless (now Cingular). You won't believe this one."

Games are good for you

Interesting link to a study on the effects of computer games :).

Games are good for you: "

A new study of 100 university undergraduates in Toronto has found that video gamers consistently outperform their non-playing peers in a series of tricky mental tests. If they also happened to be bilingual, they were unbeatable.

Barely a day goes by when video games, generally Grand Theft Auto, are blamed for something evil. But that doesn’t mean they are bad. I have my own views on the whole ‘video games are murder simulators’ debate, and maybe I’ll write them up one day. For now though - I’ll focus on the positive.

Researchers in Toronto have found that people who played video games are able to concentrate better, and excel at multi tasking.

Prof. Bialystok suspects video gamers, like bilinguals, have a practised ability to block out information that is irrelevant to the task at hand.

Disney, Pixar and Apple: What Happens Next?

Some thoughts on this recent merger on macslash.org !

Disney, Pixar and Apple: What Happens Next?: "I think one of the most interesting things about the recent Disney-Pixar merger is how often the pundits bring Apple into the mix. Apple is, of course, the most-interesting company of the three, even though it's not offiicially part of this merger! This column on Silicon.com brings the speculation of the ways Apple can leverage this new relationship to a mainstream audience. Author Seb Janacek seems to think that the Mac Media Centre is a certainty, and has replaced the PowerBook G5 as Apple's next 'gotta-do' product. What do you think, MacSlash? Will I be plugging a Mac into my TV anytime soon?"

How the hell did I get on this mailing list?: "

PajamaGram sells robes and pajamas — mostly for women, but they have some ‘cute’ couples pajamas that are worth flipping to the back to see. Such as these his-and-hers crossword pajamas.

I ask you: Could anything be better than doing the Sunday crossword puzzle while wearing crossword pajamas?

Trans 2006-01-31: “Aloha”

The podcast about the Lost tv show, the Transmission, brought from Hawaii, has come to an end :(. I enjoyed it quite a lot, shame it has come to this.

Trans 2006-01-31: “Aloha”:
There’s so much more we should have said, and yet we know we could never have said enough. ‘The Transmission’ must end, but we hope you’ve enjoyed the ride at least half as much as we have. We’ll never be able to fully thank you for sharing your love of ‘Lost’ with us, and for making our little show something truly remarkable. We look forward to joining you in the fantastic ‘Lost’ fan community, and to tuning in to the ‘Lost Podcasting Network’ for our fix of some true LostCasting talent. Mahalo a nui loa, and aloha.
