Great find (via Matt Haughey): Carter, in 1979, talking about America's need to wean itself off oil dependence. As Matt noted, what if we had listened then? Is there any chance we'll listen now? Can Obama make us?

Rod Blagojevich in February: "I got elected to do things for people–not for other politicians–so that's OK." Apparently "do things for people" was a loaded term

Just did this fix on my PB (the last entry about renaming localhost did the trick)
Sports Illustrated has a fabulous short take this week on CPM rates and Super Bowl ads. In short: on a per-viewer basis, a $3 million Super Bowl spot gets an advertiser more bang for the buck–by a good 35 percent–than a $435,000 slot on a typical Sunday Night Football broadcast. The sheer viewer numbers for the big game actually make broad-based marketing a relative bargain.
While it’s hard to swallow the thought of six-million-dollar-a-minute advertisements in the penny-pinching 2008 holiday season, an advertiser like, say, Doritos, which can gain a position of strength in a recession, is well suited to a Super Bowl ad.

Timely Demise is amateur *and* part-time! Also exciting and interesting and a must-read
Fun videos and gewgaws from assorted other blogs in my reader:
~ Bio-Bak, one of the more insane (and fun) personal sites I’ve seen in many years–it reminds me of Superbad (which I kind of miss)
~ This guy sings “Thriller” in 64 a capella parts… it’s quite a montage
~ And then there’s this guy, who custom built a drum kit to play Guitar Hero 3, then beat the hardest setting. hoo wee!
