Allison Iraheta Don't Speak

Allison has an amazing voice. She had no problem with No Doubt's "Don't Speak" even while playing the guitar for the first time all season. She has a big voice for a 16 year old kid. Judges apparently didn't like her garb.

Danny Gokey sings Rascal Flatts

Danny poured his feelings into belting out "What Hurts The Most" But i think the song still fell flat (no pun intended). Judges did not agree with me... They liked it.

Megan Joy sings Bob Marley

Megan Joy is by far the most attractive American Idol contestant. She performed a groovy, albeit borderline boring, version of Bob Marley's "Turn your lights down low." She has such a unique sounding voice. I didn't think the judges would like her and I, unfortunately, was right. Megan's beauty will probably pull her thought another week.

Anoop rocks Usher's Caught Up

Anoop did a good job cover Usher's Caught Up. He still look a bit out of his element. Judges seem to agree.

April fools

Alright everyone... Be on your toes. Tomorrow is April Fools day. Traditionally a big day for the web. Google should dazzle us all. Confickr should be interesting (but I think it will be much ado about nothing -- Thanks to vigilant security folks getting the word out). You will no doubt see things about ponies, free stuff, moon trips, cars that run on water... etc. Remember, it's a joke.

Two Million Pounds Pistachio Recalled

Salmonella contamination has lead to a major recall of two million pounds of pistachios.

Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, based in Terra Bella, Calif., decided to recall its 2008 crop after one of its customers, Kraft Foods, found several types of salmonella during routine analysis of the product. Kraft Foods alerted the Food and Drug Administration of its findings on March 24.

South Park Economic Crisis

South Park Economic Crisis episode was freaking brilliant. Once again Trey Parker and Matt Stone get it right. They are excellent storytellers portraying the madness that goes on in our society. From solving economic decisions by decapitating chickens to having kyle (as Jesus) forgiving everyone's debt (sins) by moving them to his American Express Platinum card with no limit. Very funny stuff.

Holly Madison - fell off stool

Holly Madison struggled as she fell off the stool early in her dance routine. Sadly, she was still smoother than Woz.

Rate my Professor

RateMyProfessors.com is a site in which you can rate your professor and see how your potential future professors have rated with others. I wonder if faculty members like sites such as this... Think they take a peek to see how they are doing?

Sex with Robots

This is a great article about how humanity is screwing itself. Sex with Robots examines how we are and how we will be pleasuring ourselves.
