A point to ponder.
Why do I always become enamoured of brilliant television shows that fail?
- Profit
- Alien Nation
- Farscape
- Touching Evil (the Jeffrey Donovan one)
- Sports Night
- Firefly
- Carnivale
- Drive
...and now? New Amsterdam. I didn't even find this show until after it had already been cancelled. Have downloaded all 8 episodes from Amazon Unbox, even though it's already gone.
Apparently, if you want a television show taken off the air? You need only get me to buy into it.
So when the Sarah Connor Chronicles doesn't make it, you'll all know who to blame.

Philadelphia Flyers humor
So during the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, a guy from the Washington Post ran an op-ed talking about how bloodthirsty and uncivilized Philadelphia Flyers fans are. (To be fair...we are.) One of the comments he made went something like:
"The average Flyers fan looks like they could be working as bouncers at a Megadeth concert, and I'm just talking about the women and the children."
Imagine my amusement, then, when what did I find on the Flyers website today but the following:

Unfortunately, we're currently down 3 games to none in a best-of-seven series against the vile Pittsburgh Penguins, and even I must predict that we are done like dinner.
Stupid Sidney Crosby.

Watching Game 4 just now, a promo spot for the Flyers just aired. And had you been in my livingroom, you would've heard me yell:
"HOLY ^$#@!$% THAT'S DAVE MUSTAINE!"
Wearing a Flyers jersey.
And cheering on my (unfortunately done like dinner) beloved hockey team.
"Hey Philadelphia, my name is Dave Mustaine and I'm the lead singer of Megadeth. I read what they said about you in the Washington Post and I'm here to tell you that you can work security for me anytime."
(See, I was such a little headbanger in my high school days, that I'm just losing it right now. :-))
That is just too cool. Thanks Dave, you rule.
Where's the ThinkGeek marketing team when I need them?
I want a little Nerf/beanie-ball that's light enough to toss around in the vicinity of electronic equipment without risk of too much damage, so that I can stencil the word 'Exception' on it and start Throwing Exceptions at people.

Came across this while clearing out my ongoing OneNote brain-dump sheet:
"Corporate extortion for the betterment of IT."
- my friend Brad, describing my use of a bit of FUD to pitch a project that, to be fair, really really needed to happen.
A travel disaster of epic proportions.
It seems that my iPod Nano, after several years of faithful service, no longer holds a charge worth a rat's patootie.
And here I am at a conference without my recharger cable.
GACK!
