Disneyland yesterday was a hoot. The park never filled up though, so I felt sorry for the 20,000 people who started camping out at midnight and had to sleep in the streets of DCA. We got there at 8 in the morning, and while the line to get into the security gate stretched all the…
The OC Register put up a tribute to Disneyland’s 50th, a VR view of Walt’s Apartment, and some park trivia.

The Album of the Week over at Rato Records is Bert Kaempfert’s most excellent “A Swingin’ Safari” from 1962. This is the either the cleanest vinyl rip I’ve ever heard, or it’s the remastered import Polygram release from 1999.

Right outside my office window are a few palm trees. Today the gardeners were here trimming them. What a show! First they climb the tree using spiked heels and a rope that wraps around the tree. Then they unhook a chainsaw from their belt and they GO TO TOWN. You can’t really see it in…

A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th. Gentlemen, start your conspiracy-theory-generating engines! The exact same times AND locations? Whoever orchestrated…
The Walt Disney Company, Roy E. Disney and Stanley P. Gold announced today that they have agreed to put aside the differences that have characterized their relationship over the past several years. Wow. Let’s see what happens with this. http://www.savedisney.com/
Google just released three interesting, if not completely useless, Firefox Extensions. The Google Toolbar looks interesting enough, but Firefox already has its own Google search box, and I don’t think the extra features the Toolbar adds are ever used by anybody!

You know how when someone tells you you need to watch some TV show because “It’s HILARIOUS” and “YOU’LL LOVE IT!” then you go and watch the show and you’re like “Eh.” and “That was dumb.” I am here today to tell you that if you watch Stella you will not say “Eh.” In fact,…
