Rest in Peace to the 13 American heroes who were senselessly murdered at Ford Hood, Texas by the hands of a terrorist. That’s right: terrorist. Not because of his “faith,” but because terror is no doubt what this murderer set out to cause: terror in the hearts and minds of his former comrades. Despicable. Keep these 13, and their friends and family, in your thoughts and prayers.
Here are the links:
- Gawker destroyed Nikki Finke of DeadlineHollywoodDaily and AdAge is talking about it. I started reading that blog when I was working for the manager of Brian Dennehy and Kathy Bates. (That was an unimportant detail. I just wanted to namedrop.)
- Speaking of Ebenezer Scrooge, in an indirect and unclear way, “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” easily took home this weekend’s Box Office title with $30 million.
- Happy Birthday, Firefox. You are 5 years old today. Before you know it you’ll be graduating kindergarten, reading and buying Ninja Turtle action figures… Or are you just a reincarnation of Netscape, possessing knowledge beyond your years? Eh, whatever. May the browser wars never end.
- You ever wonder what happened to that kid in your high school who was really weird, kind of creative, somewhat witty, and did a lot of drugs. Well, I’m assuming that kid is either doing nothing, or doing this.
- Hollywood still can’t get this whole new media/DVD/Internet era thing right…
- If you don’t feel like making a new Twitter list, no worries. You can let Conversationalist do it for you.
- Eleventh Hour is on Twitter. My bad. I always forget to tell you guys.
- Visit Times Square in New York City, get free Wi-Fi Internet access from Yahoo.
- Andy McKenna, of my home state of Illinois, is running a campaign for Governor against former Governor Rod Blagojevich’s hair. It’s so ridiculous (and well-produced) that I have to say, I like it.
- Michael Jordan’s son decided that $3 million was no big deal for the University of Central Florida.
- In closing, here’s a disturbing “Smoky the Bear” ad (not sure if Hulu spelled it wrong or if it’s a copyright thing).
