Ok, I lied. I have things to say about TAR4, so I’m putting it in the extended entries so there aren’t any spoilers for anyone. Keep on reading!

Oh… Scary…
I am watching this week’s episode of TAR4 right now. I’m too tired to blog the episode this week – maybe later this weekend – but I was cracking up as I watched the opening sequence and had to share the moment.
The Amazing Race (“TAR”) always starts with a “in our last episode” segment. Then they show all of the teams that are in the race this season. As they finish showing the last team, they show a tiger from one of the earlier seasons. It’s roaring, throwing it’s paw out towards the camera. Oh… Scary! Right? Wrong. Those tigers were about the lamest things I think they have ever done on TAR. That split second of tiger footage was as ferocious as they got.
Hm. Maybe that just amuses me. Well, this is what happens when I work a 10 hour day… it’s all about the little things when I’m punchy and slap-happy!
I listened closely … did you hear it? Phil said, “Which team will be eliminated … TONIGHT.” Yes! I’m hoping that the bimbo chicks get tossed, but I’m sure I won’t be so lucky!
BPC Tunes…
Working hard, but I needed some background noise, some tunes to help me chill – so I’m listening to my Launchcast station. Want to join me listening to the BPC? Have a station of your own that I can listen to? Hook me up!
Stones Keep On Rolling…
Spotted in today’s Houston Chronicle:
In 1967, the Rolling Stones weren’t allowed to sing “Let’s spend the night together” on television because the words were too racy.
In 2003, the Sheraton hotel chain uses “Let’s spend the night together” as its slogan in cute television commercials.
Ironic, isn’t it? I found it amusing.
By the way – we’re getting a ton of rain right now in downtown Houston. Want to see? It’s pelting against my window, which is a sort of cool sound.
Say It Isn’t So!
Palm to acquire rival Handspring
I think I’m going to cry. I’ve always loved my Handspring, and I think part if it was because they weren’t owned by Palm. I guess now that Handspring is only developing phones anyways, and I already have Visor, this won’t really affect me personally – but I’m still sad to see them go. [via Evan]
