Two, No Three Things

1 - What the hell did we do with our lives before the internet? Genius was the person who created the Wikiquotes page.

2 - If Tivo/DVR had existed about 10 years ago would great TV shows like Sports Night, Freaks & Geeks and Firefly, have been cancelled as early as they were? Or, would they have been saved because no matter what the network execs did to the shows' viewing schedule and running order, people would still be able to find and watch them? Discuss. (Also mention other great shows that got screwed.)

3 - Ever wondered who's been changing your Wikipedia entry? Now you can find out. Check out the edits a church did to the Origin of Species entry.

I Told You

It was only a matter of time before someone tried something like this.

This opens the door to children's names like Christo4 and K8. Its gonna happen in our lifetime so get used to it.

Names come and go in style. How many Jennifer's are being born now as compared to 20 years ago? Do you have any grandparents named Sierra or Dawson? When will names like Ethelred or Urban or Socrates come back into style?

Aliens Kill The Beatles

I posed this question to co-workers.

"Say aliens came to earth and told you that they were deleting every song by The Beatles, but you were allowed to save one song from being deleted from the fabric of time. Which one song would you save as a testament to all things Beatle? Which one song most represents the power and genius of the band?"

It doesn't matter why the aliens are deleting the Beatles catalog, or which planet they are from. It only matters that you have to save a single song, a song that contains the most Beatleness.

Of course you could do this with other bands. Hell you could do this with Baldwins.


As for Beatles song, I chose 'Ticket To Ride'
The Stones 'Gimme Shelter'
Styx 'Suite Madam Blue'
Baldwin - Alec
