Monday Linkage

[yendi]

(Not to be confused with Monday Dinklage, although I was surprised to see him appear -- digitally altered, height-wise, just like Tom Cruise -- on an episode of Chuck as we were catching up on Tivo.)

1. Meghan O'Rourke on Knocked Up and feminism.

2. The Creation "Museum" (where willful ignorance is on display 24/7) made Mad Magazine's list of the dumbest people, places, and events of 2007.

3. The worst iPod accessories. Including Rock My Teeth -- a device that uses the iPod to allegedly whiten your teeth. Really. I've heard that the folks at the Creation "Museum" bought ten of them.

4. The new Apple ad rocks. It was one of the few non-painful things about watching the Jets game yesterday.

5. StarTrek.com has been shut down.

6. T-Mobile is blocking twitter. Which, appropriately enough, allows me to call T-Mobile's execs "twits." And yes, it's being reported as a technical issue by Twitter, but if T-Mobile was telling customers that they were blocking the service, someone there did something really stupid.

7. 30 Years of LucasFilm Christmas Cards.

8. As noted by chris_walsh, John Singleton will be directing the A-Team movie.

9. Need a Wii? You can grab a raincheck this Thursday and Friday, and be guaranteed one this January.

10. Finally, it's the comparison you've been waiting for: A Mac Mini vs. a Honey-Baked Ham

The T-Mobile thing seems to have been resolved yesterday. Just FYI!

It doesn't look like the Trek site has been shut down (yet), just that the entire team running it was fired by CBS/Viacom. Chris Walsh pointed out that this happened less than a week after they posted videos of Trek alumni picketing in support of the Writer's strike...

Hmm... coincidence?

You know, I didn't even think of that until you mentioned it...

The Creation Museum is only about ten miles from my house. I am not proud of this fact. *sighs* But, I am torn. On the one hand, I think it would be hilarious to go there and see the willful ignorance for myself....I don't want to support them in any way by paying the entrance fee. Or adding to the attendance numbers -- especially since I'd be going there to, essentially, point and laugh.

And now I'm more suspicious: The message from the actual crew's been replaced by corporate-speak about CBS "being committed" to the continued glory that is Star Trek online. Oh dear. (Seriously; check the link.)
