Another best episode ever of The Daily Show

I know I post this every few months, but last night's Daily Show was their best episode ever, again. Full episode on thedailyshow.com:

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Cancelled or No?

Last week on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles during one of the commercial breaks near the end of the episode, the voice over said that there were 2 episodes left to find out what happens. Not 2 more episodes left in the season, but just 2 episodes left.

I got on the computer and found this: Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles CANCELLED 04-10-2009

But then during tonight's episode, the voice over said that next week's episode was the season finale, and did not call it the final episode.

There have been rumors for a while that the show was going to be cancelled at the end of the season, so it's not exactly surprising if it is getting cancelled, but it would be nice to know one way or the other.

Reno 569 3/8?

it is not the same without clemy, garcia & kimball. tonight's episode wasn't very funny at all. it has been so long since the last episode, i would have thought they could have come up with something funnier and more interesting than that. even the ass penny guy was disappointing.

i hope the rest of the season proves me wrong, but i have afeeling they should have called it quits after 5.

One of the best Onion articles in awhile...

A Katamari Damacy game is finally coming to the PS3

Joystiq had a story the other day that a Katamari Damacy game was finally going to be released on the PS3, and now they have a trailer:

New trailer confirms that animals love Katamari Damacy Tribute

I think the cel-shading looks just plain weird more than anything. It stinks that all the levels in the trailer are from the previous games, with the obvious exception of the flowers growing where you roll level (which reminds me of the Forest Spirit in Princess Mononoke).

Still, between that and the other PS3 exclusives like WipeOut, Ratchet & Clank, God Of War, and to a lesser extent the downloadable stuff like Noby Noby Boy & Flower, if they lower the price to $300 or less (or keep the price the same, or even raise it, if it includes full PS2 backward compatibility), that could possibly be enough to sway me to getting one of the current generation video game consoles.

Probably the best product review I've ever read.

What the title said:

The SSD Anthology: Understanding SSDs and New Drives from OCZ by Anand Lal Shimpi

The 64GB version of the OCZ Vertex is currently only $170 after rebate at Newegg, so barring anything major, I think I'll be buying that, or maybe the Summit, along with Windows 7 when it's released later this year.

One could buy a lot of ice cream for 180 billion dollars.

A couple months ago I bought something or other on amazon.com and was able to get a year subscription to Rolling Stone for $1. The other day I got my third issue in the mail. Here's the cover:



At first I thought Gossip Girl was a band, but apparently it's a TV show. Anyway, on the inside is just about the last thing I expected to find based on the cover: A thorough and easy to understand article about the downfall of AIG. Here's the link to the article:
