This was too hilarious to pass up. Seems that the annual Hyperspace Hoopla at Disney’s Hollywood studios have quite a bit of self-deprecating humorous events.

And the finals:
Though frankly my favorite was the ‘Thriller’ dance by Darth Vader & The Stormtroopers (which as Dave Barry would agree is a fabulous name for a rock band). What do you think ?
Just discovered this great online Mail management software from a company called SproutIt. There are hundreds of these kind of solutions for small businesses but I have not seen such a elegant and almost desktop application like web based software - and its FREE with ad-based email signatures and then has a tiered pricing structure - very affordable depending on the size of your business.
According to the blurb on their website:
Mailroom is online software that allows your entire team to manage all your website email, respond to customer email faster, and make customer conversations more productive. That is, everything you need to deliver great customer service via email.
This is a company to watch out as the software they used in building MailRoom is now being used by Apple for their version of groupware called MobileMe. The software is this open source JavaScript based framework called SproutCore and applications developed using this look like desktop applications inspite of running within a browser.
If you cannot find the time to join a book club that meets physically every week you can join an online one. And this site GoodReads.com is a great place to join in the conversation to discuss the books you read and find out new ones that others are reading and recommending.

I am so glad I bought mine on Jan 1, 2006. Right about June 2009 I would have recovered the premium I paid for the Prius. Though I got an awesome deal (sticker price) and I got $3500 from the IRS as tax credit. So I think I made money on this deal eventually :-)
Just found this great site www.goosh.org that allows you to search Google using a familiar shell interface (familiar to Unix users). Its really cool and allows you to view search results without annoying ads.
I think i will be using this one for a while until Google shuts it off for losing revenue..
I am a big fanĀ of Slate magazine and especially of the Slate Gabfest where David Plotz is a regular. He recently attempted this stunt where he was within 15 feet of his wife at all times for 24 hours. Its a really interesting commentary on what we mean by living together. Would you do it ?
Is there such a thing ? In the midst of tabloid madness, does Los Angeles have a cultural side ? You bet ! And to prove that there are art/literary/intellectual events, you can visit my friend Kristin’s website at (what else?) www.kristinslist.net.
The site has some great information on events regarding Architecture, Art, Fashion, Festivals, Literature, Music, Nature, Politics, Shopping (!), Talks and Theatre.
