But seriously, on the WE network tonight, a show of Prince Charles’ wedding to Camilla Parker-Bowles is sandwiched in between repeat showings of the movie Death Becomes Her. Just a coincidence, or someone’s weird idea of a poor joke (if you’ve seen the movie, that is—a black comedy about obsession with beauty among other things)?
It just really seems like no one can leave this couple alone, and now I’m even seeing digs where they probably don’t exist.

Jerry Springer now has his own radio show on Air America. It’s political. He’s serious. This is no April Fool’s joke.
It makes more sense when you find out that he was in politics before television, and that his television show was actually a real talk show before he sold out for shock show dollars.
So, even though watching his TV show is like watching a train wreck (I’ve seen pieces of it several times, but it’s tough to watch, believe me), who knows if his radio show will redeem his rep?
Maybe too little, too late?

Man, this Meatrix thing was kind of freaky. I checked it out because it just won an award.
Guess I’ll be checking out more organic food now.

(Some people have too much time on their hands. Pretty funny, though):
Via Boing Boing:
Cory Doctorow:
A blogger had her dead iTrip replaced by the manufacturer, who asked for photographic proof that she’d destroyed the old one. So she built an iTrip incinerator out of model-rocket engines and then lovingly photographed and described her build, up to and including the moment of iTrip immolation.

My Tangelo products site looks pretty good too (I’m working with Brad to market Tangelo, so this page is part of my work). Nothing much on it yet, but it nice, huh?
Actually, my major achievement with the Tangelo products site was how well I stole it completely from Brad’s sister site and duplicated his work with an orange scheme instead of lime. I’ll work on it more though and add things.
Like Steve Jobs (or someone) said, good artists copy, great artists steal.

Currently Captivated By: VH1 One Hit Wonders.
Been watching it all night while I worked on the website. Many 80’s hits in it.

Even if I’m involved with it, it’s still exciting to see Tangelo reach version 1.1 today. I use it to produce (and screw around with) this website. In fact, now I get to monkey with the templates and rebuild the site in the next couple of weeks.
Tangelo 1.1 has some nice flashy/fun features…
Currently listening to:
“Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
and some substantial things like podcasting support.
It’s nice to work with something that’s so easy and fun to use.

If you have the time (or a broadband connection), check this Batman movie out. It’s animated, but yes, that really is Adam West as Batman, Dick Van Dyke as Commissioner Gordon, and Courtney Thorne-Smith as Catwoman. You can find out more about the film here.

Bill Shatner has really, really floored me this year. The actor has made a new character in Boston Legal that I think is some of the best work of his career (not that I’m a critic or anything). I mean, Denny Crane is da man.
Now I’ve heard his new album with Ben Folds and I bought its Common People track from the iTunes Music Store. It’s a really good song, believe it or not. Joe Jackson does backing vocals in it.
Want to see it? Go to this page to download the Tonight show video (better have a broadband connection, though).
Thanks to Scoble for the link.
