A classic: The Homosexual Agenda (1994).

It's so wrong of me to watch this video from some church group about the dangers of the Homosexual Agenda, only to think, "Damn, those were the good ol' days"?

Penny wise, pound silly...

Today on Kevin Kelly's very Cool Tools, the objet d'art is the Salubrion Enso Clock, a very nice doan meditation timer that rings a bell, rather than an annoying and startling beep, at the start and end of a meditation session. What boggled me is that the thing costs $99.

For that much money, you can get a Palm Zire 71 and install Doan and a couple of lovely chimes on it, and get the same effect, plus all the other nifty things one can do with a Palm. Other than the cachet, which I admit is probably strong with this product, what's the point?

What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the most disturbing product of the day:

The Spongebob Squarepants Musical Rectal Thermometer

There is a special place in Hell for parents who use one of these.

*Sigh* Stick it at the bottom of the pile, Muse

In my best Oh-Gods-What-Now voice: "Yes, Muse?"

"You know that story you really like? The one by Ted Chiang? Hell is the Absence of God?"

Really slowly: "Yeah?"

"What if it were a sex comedy?"

( Dear Gods, save me. )
