C-Span is putting their full archive online

This is pretty amazing - 23 years of every roll call vote and press conference available at c-spanvideo.org

The new “Lifesize Homewrecker Barbie” is really life-like.

—NPR brings the funny

I’m pretty sure I’ve posted this one before but since awkward day is apparently a thing now, who am I not to remind everyone that I once ROCKED the Maynard G. Krebs.

This picture of our very own Jason Permenter with long, braided hair is the best thing the internet has given us today.

Que tablet delayed

On this, iPad reservation day (I have a 32GB on hold at my local Apple store), Plastic Logic says that they’re pushing their release back until summer for some “tweaking”.

In case you haven’t been following along, the Que is billed as a “professional document reader” that will open Office docs and PDF files on a black and white e-paper screen. The high end model has 8 gigs of storage, WiFi + 3G and costs $800. It seems aimed squarely at business customers (“transfer files from your Blackberry”) not consumers, per se.

You don’t need me to make the bullet point comparison to the iPad, I’ll just say that I’m not exactly bullish on the Que.

Here’s how I know that Bailey is a total sweetheart. Not only did she make me this wonderful birthday card but she said I have “good hair”. Oh, Bailey. If I have any hair on my 32nd birthday, I’ll thank my lucky stars.

Thank you so much and thank you all of my wonderfully strange internet friends for the many happy birthday wishes. I’m luckier than I deserve.

Google Apps Marketplace - eFax

I don’t know about you, but I am pretty damn excited about the fact that eFax, the “premier Internet [sic] fax service” is available in the new Google web apps marketplace.

If you need me, I’ll be watching the hot new comedy Weekend at Bernie’s 2 on betamax. The future is so awesome!

Google Maps has added bike directions and they look awesome. Shows designated trails, streets with bike lanes and streets that are less busy plus there’s an algorithm for helping avoid hills.

The new Aloha album is great. Blippy prog rock from the midwest, pick it up while you’re downloading the new (also great) Gorrilaz.

[Her lawyer] Stephanie Ovadia said the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna.

Apparently, Lindsay (that’d be Lohan, lest you be confused) is suing E-Trade for one hundred million dollars. A quick trip to the baby name wizard proves what common fucking sense would imply, that Lindsay is one of the more common names of the past few generations whereas Oprah, of course, doesn’t even register.

And just imagine how poor Lindsey Graham, the gentile senator from South Carolina, must feel about this.
