TackleAction!

from appleinsider:

"Thousands" of videos will go live when the update appears in mid-June, but continuing work will see the entire YouTube catalog in Apple TV form sometime during the fall.

Now all we need is youtube specific entertainment and since the apple tv is the most convenient, efficient way to watch these programs that otherwise must be viewed hunched over a laptop (or with intermittent blue screens on a windows media pc) the apple tv is the natural choice to watch this great programming.

What great programming? why would big studios or anyone else invest in this? Because the apple tv is beautifully aligned with rich families with disposable income, a target group that i imagine any advertiser would love to have access to. and therefore a studio would love to give those advertisers a vessel by which to influence us (er them, the apple tv owners.)

The latest hero in my exclusive TaxableAllocation! series is The Reverend Horton Heat. If you know me, chances are good that you know this already. Perhaps you attended a Rev show with me. Perhaps you carried me out of a Reverend show after I was no longer able to stand. Regardless what I have to say, this guy is rock, country, blues, swing, bluegrass, and a bit of sass. He's payed his dues as a guitar man -- here pictured playing with Screamin' Jay Hawkin's mid 80s -- and has got the skills to show from it. I did get a chance to shake his hand and tell him that he was my Guitar Hero. He humbly thanked me and mentioned that it had been a good career for him, despite what his parents had to say about it.

This image would be complete if she were somehow talking on a cell phone.

new kanye west video:

old shania video i like how they both have a smokey sequence to liven things up from the desert-ness of the rest of the videos.

i went to church! it was alright. the priest told this joke during the homily:

So the holy trinity is making vacation plans, and god goes first:

"you know, i think i'd like to go back to Mt. Sinia, i had some good memories of that place - what with the moses and commandments..."

then jesus: "i'd like to go to Jerusalem, i had some good times with those apostles, i'd be fun to reminisce"

and finally the holy spirit: "hmmm..... i'd like to go to rome, i've never been there"

i thought that was pretty awesome of a roman catholic priest.

This one is for Ryan.

You know what... al gore better run for president.

Finally! I can have all my friends over without having to pick up the phone. And, they'll only say things that i want to hear. also, seems like it'd be fun to use someone as a rag - to clean up small messes in the kitchen.

Paul's Civil War post got me thinking about war. More specifically the concept of Total War. Here is our friend Daffy Duck in a classic propaganda piece that was used to encourage Americans to contribute in the Total War effort.

Someday i'd like to read one of those all encompassing books about the civil war. When i watched this i couldn't find Gettysburg...

That's it. I'm dining on Asian cuisine exclusively from now on.

I feel like there should be some reason for the dice. But it's cool, and pretty funny and clever.

Emily is taking really good photos - and I can't help but be a little jealous. Doing things like this helps me cope with knowing that she is better than me in everything.

I want keep tabs on what all ya'll are learning (i know that is 2, maybe 3 people). What blogs are you into, what sites are are you jewels?

My most interesting are we make money not art and indexed .

as for podcasts, i'm all LSAT logic in everyday life and this American life.

are there any automated ways for us to share rss feeds? like if google reader had a drop down that said "your friends feeds"
