R.I.P...
I'm sure we were all surprised by the sudden, shocking news of a celebrity passing...
Here's to you, guy in car who likes mustard on his sandwiches.

NASA to review psychological screening for astronauts
I think it was a mistake to take "Are you crazy? Y / N" off the original test.

Steve Jobs "Thoughts on Music" - an excellent read
The Machine is Us/ing Us - a very well done animation about the Web 2.0
The "hardest video game boss ever" - of course it's a Japanese game. I don't think even John Meyers could beat it. Well, maybe with one continue.

Super Bowl Prediction
Here's my Super Bowl prediction, based purely on my statistical regression analysis of the history of the game. And guessing.
The Bears are known for their defense. The Colts are known for their offense. The last time this happened was when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers squeaked by with a 48-21 victory over the Oakland Raiders - the Bucs had the best D and the Raiders had the best offense of the 2002-2003 season.
I think it will go the way of the defense again. I think it's easier to have a consistently good defense than offense. It's like basketball -- some days you'll have the touch shooting and you can't miss. Other days, it's nothing but bricks off the rim. But, even if you can't shoot that day, you can still hustle back on defense and try to at least stop the other team.
That's my theory. Bears 48, Colts 21. Because I can't think of any numbers more original than that.

I might have posted this before, but it's worth watching again. Michael Larson has too much free time, memorizes the Press Your Luck ("no whammies!") game show pattern with the help of a VCR and destroys all previous records. Watch it here. Read about Michael Larson here. I love 4 minutes in when another contestant tries his luck.
And what might be the best press conference ever, the guys accused of causing chaos in Boston with their "bomb scare" which was actually a (weak) marketing campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force talk to the press.
