What the hell is wrong with me that I'm not even watching OU play for the national championship in the Orange Bowl? Geez. Update: who can possibly forget how horrible the halftime show always is? Ashlee Simpson lipsyncing in front of an old anarchy logo with cheerleaders dressed up as wide receivers for the Kiss football team. It's even better now that I'm listening to a strange Wilco live show on XM radio instead of whatever horrible noises the TV would be making if only it weren't muted. Ha! Take that, television! Update: Oh man, the Sooners are gettin crushed. Alas.

This iPod is impossibly cool, as evidenced by the fact that it just played me Sweet Potato by Cracker. Just try to find that song on any radio station anywhere. It played it at random, which, with this much music to draw from, is the best feature imaginable in a music player.

Just part of the reason Java is so stinkin lousy to work with: "Now, I don't claim to be an expert coder by any means, but I sure know bad code when I see it."

The chairwoman of the 55th Presidential Inaugural Committee supports the troops:

As an alternative way of honoring them, did you or the president ever discuss canceling the nine balls and using the $40 million inaugural budget to purchase better equipment for the troops?

I think we felt like we would have a traditional set of events and we would focus on honoring the people who are serving our country right now -- not just the people in the armed forces, but also the community volunteers, the firemen, the policemen, the teachers, the people who serve at, you know, the -- well, it's called the StewPot in Dallas, people who work with the homeless.

How do any of them benefit from the inaugural balls?

I'm not sure that they do benefit from them.

Then how, exactly, are you honoring them?

Honoring service is what our theme is about.

I just reads em, folks. (Here, as usual.)
