This is so dumb... Have you heard the new ringtone kids are using? Apparently adults aren't supposed to be able to hear it. I played it in the office and everyone started freaking out.
What's in Chris' gadget bag?
I'm definitely an admirer of Chris Anderson and I love finding out what people like Chris carry around in their gadget bag. I've been thinking of getting a Treo 700p recently. I've been hearing good things and I've never owned one. I also really want a Nintendo DS.
Who Blogs?
Well, maybe not all of them, but Pete just started to again.

Surprise: Tattoos Are Popular
A new study being released Monday on the American Academy of Dermatology web site will suggest that 24 percent of Americans between 18 and 50 are tattooed. While I haven't done any scientific studies, it seems like more and more people not only have them, but other people don't seem as shocked by them. I wanted to get tattooed when I was a teen, but waited until I was in my late 20s to start. I just felt like I would be more sure about what I wanted. In hindsight, it was a good decision. I currently have 4 large ones between both arms and plan to get another one this year.
EFF vs. MPAA
Read as John Perry Barlow leaves Dan Glickman in the dust.
You're 55 years old and these kids are 17 and they're just smarter than you. So you're gonna lose that one.
That's always somewhere in my argument when I'm talking to old an new in the music industry. The big old industry guys need to listen to the younger generation and involve them. There certainly are people in the industry pushing the envelope, but on the whole they are so behind and it's costing them billions.

I'm Juggernot Bitch!
It gets a little tedious. 9 minutes is a little long. You pretty much get the idea after the first few.
Amnesty International Ad Campaign
Wow, that's some ad campaign!
Humans Not From Monkeys
I try not to talk much about work-related stuff here, so you'll have to excuse me if I make fun of a particular artist we're doing something with. I was passing by a co-worker's desk who showed me their wikipedia page, which excerpted an interview with them.
In an interview with Blender magazine, the two expressed their disbelief in the process of evolution, with Aly saying, "Are they teaching that in schools now?", and AJ adding, "Evolution is silly. Monkeys? Um, no." Both Aly and AJ are home schooled.
Subsequently, moments later as I was browsing popurls.com, I stumbled upon the Top Ten Myths About Evolution.
Humans and great apes had a common ancestor about 5 million years ago Humans and monkeys had a common ancestor about 50 million years ago. Nowhere, except in the most illiterate anti-evolution literature, will you find a claim that humans evolved from monkeys.
Funny, eh?
