Stuff about the Wii
Check out the new games and features Nintendo is planning on releasing for the Wii. Some pretty cool interactive stuff. Gaming consoles in general are poised to be the killer app connecting the internet to the TV. Mark it zero.
Already this week Xbox announced you can download Netflix movies directly to your Xbox. It's about time.

Stuff about Ian Curtis
My network of informants has uncovered this disturbing item: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manchester/7486280.stm
If Blogger actually worked, i'd be able to make this a hyper link, but alas, it doesn't.
Anyway, it is sad that Ian Curtis's headstone was stolen. Who would steal a headstone? What would you do w/ it? That's messed up.
In other, more enlightening news, I'm going to check out the girls in bikinis at Sheep's Meadow today. holler.

Stuff about stuff
Check out this post on Gawker. Apparently the US is the most drugged out country in the world. This doesn't even count prescribed drugs which I'm sure the US leads in also:

By the way, I've quit my job to focus exclusively on this blog. Now that the cash is coming in, I need someone to help me w/ my couponing efforts, my telecommunications and internet infrastructure, and someone to generally push some paper around and make some suggestions (anyone know a consultant?). Feel free to apply in the comments section.

Stuff about Laos & Gen Vang Pao
This is one of the saddest stories I have seen, and another example of the terrible consequences of the CIA's efforts around the world at the expense of everyone else.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/11/magazine/11pao-t.html?scp=1&sq=vang+pao&st=nyt
Basically, the CIA armed the Hmong (a minority people in Laos) and enlisted them to fight the North Vietnamese and Laotian Communists in the 60s/70s during the Vietnam War. Of course, we weren't officially in Laos during those times but our "presence" and efforts resulted in Laos being the most bombed country in the history of the world (a stat that still stands). When the U.S. pulled out of SE Asia, we took some of the Hmong leaders (including Gen. Vang Pao) to the U.S. and left the rest of them to fend for themselves in the jungles, on the run from the victorious Communists.
Now, the U.S. government is prosecuting Gen. Vang Pao, 78, as a terrorist for allegedly trying to purchase arms to overthrow the Laotian government. Never mind that the evidence seems dubious and close to a set up. Even if it were true, he is only doing what we asked him to do 40 years ago. And now, our government is trying to put him in jail.
