It seems kind of fitting that Tom Cruise, America’s token nut job, will be speaking to a group of people from a company called Yahoo! It’s sort of sickly ironic. If I were Yahoo!, I’d be all over a guy who jumps on couches, flies his 8 months pregnant wife/girlfriend/beard around the
Ars Technica has a good look at the new world of advertising on television. It’s a good read. It references one of my favorite flash points in the battle for attention – the now infamous Medium scene which required writers to write an ad for Memoirs of a Geisha into the script.
Under new rules adopted by the Democrats, sniping at Republicans is apparently mandatory and some stylistic changes to the primary calendar may or may not have any impact at all on running for President. Rep. David Price, in an article for Roll Call, lays out the changes to their primary process.
DHS Secretary Chertoff told a rapt audience that we no longer fear tweezers and nail clippers as the terrorists weapon of choice. We’re focused instead on the threat of explosives.

Om Malik over at Gigaom.com has some good research on a la carte that doesn’t come from my employer. I admit, I have always been one of those people who believe a la carte would be a good thing. I don’t anymore, and not just because I drink the NCTA Kool-Aid.

My favorite Internet idea has reared its head again. Two Democrat Senators have proposed the creation of a “red-light” district on the .xxx domain.
When the Administration blocked this last year, I was beside myself. It makes no sense to refuse to act on something that would be good public policy simply because
Oregon has a really interesting idea to keep prisoners calm – give them video games.
Ars Technica has the details on a new way to curb prison violence by rewarding good behavior with access to video games. Listening to the prisoners talk about it, it seems to be working… Or maybe not…
