The switch over to digital television just might be a prophetic sign of the impending Judgement Day when Cyberdyne’s Skynet activates, and Terminators start their reign.
That or you might hear music in your head and realize you’re the last unknown Cylon.
In either case, I’m keeping my eye on our new iRobot Roomba. If that thing isn’t an indicator of artificial intelligence, I don’t know what is.

HONOLULU, Hawaii, January 14, 2009 – Peer News Inc. released the following statement today regarding Ginx:

Ginx is the first service from Peer News, a new startup co-founded by Pierre Omidyar and Randy Ching.
Hawaii’s switchover to digital television is still set for an early date of Thursday, January 15, 2009. We’re going to lead the nation into the digital television realm to save the petrels.
Needing some new tunes for running, I picked up Ultra Dance 10 from Amazon (I didn’t see this in iTunes yet). Not bad, 16 dance tracks for $9. My dance music prerequisites are met:
I’ve heard of some of the other stuff, but don’t care much for the originals so the remixes don’t do much for me. All in all, an okay buy for $9.
Not quite safe for work, but if you wanted another way of measuring your status in the Twitter-verse, there’s Twicksize. You simply enter in a Twitter ID (no password), and the service will tell you how many inches your Twick is.
As an example, @CNETnews is 20 inches, @hawaii is 9 inches, @ryankanno is 7 inches, and old @geewhy is a mere 5 inches. Yes, your Twick is bigger than mine. 🙁
Jackie Chan and Will Smith’s son Jaden are planning to remake the Karate Kid? Jackie will be Mr. Miyagi and Jaden will be Daniel Larusso. That’s just blasphemy! You can’t ruin this classic.
Be strong Daniel! Be strong!
Those were Gene Villiatora’s parting words on Top Chef as the Hawaii-raised chef didn’t make it past Week 7. Throughout the competition, Gene was a lucky survivor, advancing through each challenge doing it his way. And in Week 7, Gene, for better or for worse, stuck to his roots and made a questionable fish dish that didn’t completely win over the judges.
Gene almost made it through this week’s double elimination with the backing of new judge Toby Young who admired Gene’s wild creativity. Unfortunately, Gene’s visual whole fish dish with daikon, tomato, and basil didn’t have the flavorful punch the judges were looking for.
Here’s how it went down.
Gene, thanks for a showcasing Hawaii’s culinary talent and wish you much future success!
The alleged perpetrator? Diamond Head Sprinklers. Their crime? Masking a schlong as their company logo. Just take a close look!
I’ve done business with them before, and they do good work, but I have to wonder about their logo. You see, on my drive to work, I was following one of their company trucks. At a stop light, I got a good look at the truck’s tailgate that prominently displayed their logo.
Initially, I thought a leaf and drop of water related to keeping lawns green with their irrigation systems. Then, a phallic image started to emerge. Is that a schlong?!? A green, leafy but flaccid schlong with a testicle disguised as a leaf?
What say you? Schlong or not?
At a family dinner, I heard one of my nieces practicing on the piano. The music sounded familiar even after only a few notes. It was none other than Bella’s Lullaby from Twilight! I couldn’t believe it until I saw the sheet music with my own eyes.
Besides the soundtrack and forthcoming DVD, I didn’t see sheet music as another popular Twilight memorabilia item. Dang, Twilight is simply a beast, not just a box office beast. If you’re digging Bella’s Lullaby, you can buy the sheet music from Twilight at Musicnotes.
And I underestimated Amazon where I also found the Twilight Score (with complaints about Bella’s Lullaby being inaccurate).
Just what is Bella’s Lullaby? It’s the song Edward wrote inspired by Bella, and it goes something like this…

To retain his role as shape shifting Jacob Black of Twilight, Taylor Lautner needed to bulk up his teenage bod. Looks like he’s doing a good job.
I think he’s been in contact with the Tabasco Man asking about his special Tabasco juice.
Update: Taylor must be staying away from the delectable bacon desserts. Check out his Wayne’s World-like abs from this Access Hollywood interview.
A freeze frame for the female fans.
This just solidifies bacon as an anytime indulgence. The latest food fad is serving bacon for dessert. Yup, Time magazine talks about the pairing of sweets with the salty meat and even provides some sure hit recipes.
If you’re planning a Presidential Inauguration party or SuperBowl Party (for the non-fans), serving a bacon-based dessert is sure to sizzle up some interest.
