I've been getting a lot of hits from people looking for the lyrics to P.O.D.'s new song, Sleeping Awake, so I thought I might as well link to them. Here they are: Sleeping Awake lyrics.

Everyone's probably heard about the giant squid that was caught a couple of weeks ago.

Council votes in favour of 'Hell'. That reminds me of a city nearby whose workers would answer the phones with "Heaveno," since they didn't want to say "Hello. Ah, the stupidity!
I just finished reading 21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com, by Mike Daisey.
Daisey, a disaffected dilettante, was not the type to get into corporate work; but he found himself there, when his temping agency said that Amazon.com wanted them to send their "freaks" to work in it's customer service department.
How much of this book is hyperbole and/or satire? It's hard to say, especially since the author admits that "some facts were injured in the telling of this story." If you're looking for a hard-hitting exposé on business practices at Amazon, this isn't the book for you. If, instead, you'd like a fun, entertaining and somewhat informative read about the dot-com boom and some of the personalities behind it, it's definitely for you.

Quote of the day: "The government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them." -- Mark Twain

Pop Cult Magazine is the "obsessive journal of quality pop culture."
My local paper recently picked up the Get Fuzzy comic. It's not hilarious, but it does have it's chuckle-inducing scenes, like today's strip. The author of this article thinks that Get Fuzzy will save newspaper comics from being totally pathetic. (By the way, Mother Goose & Grimm is my favorite comic strip.)
