Old School
We just rented Old School. If you're thirtyish right now you really ought to see this right now. Video stores are open late, so go rent it now. Holy crap is it funny. Have a nice weekend.

The Fox suit against Al Franken got thrown out of court. ("Well, of course it did," I didn't think, and wish I could.) When I get around to it I'll remove the slogan at issue from the sidebar. Just thought you'd all like to know.

Ah, so Wired has David Byrne and this space's hero Edward E. Tufte each tackle PowerPoint. Presumably this article pair was motivated by someone at wired noticing that Byrne and Tufte had already produced anti-PowerPoint works of art, and figured that they'd be funny to juxtapose. They are. The Talking Heads singer uses irony; the Yale professor doesn't. Both denunciations are amusing, although perhaps this humor is easier to notice if you are forced, with any regularity, to use PowerPoint (or to endure its use by others) in real life.
