I was going to do another top ten list (Top Ten Songs on Robert "KKK" Bird's iPod), but I've had my fill of them for a while. Instead, here's a roundup of some good (and not so good) reading around the "internets" today.

iAnalyze

Some genius tries to analyze President Bush by reviewing the songs on his iPod.

Not every track is "on-message." The playlist -- regarded by many as a mirror to the soul -- includes musicians who campaigned against Bush, such as John Fogarty. Also on the iPod is the 1979 song "My Sharona" by the Knack, about a man pursuing a much younger woman.

It's okay to like music that liberals make.

The Best Show on Television

For those of you who are fans of the "24" (and if you're not, you should be), Right Wing Nuthouse has a good digest of last night's episode, along with some good commentary.

As for Audrey, suspicion falls on her because of Paul’s peripheral involvement. And she would have access to all that information mentioned above. After all, who would suspect poor little Audrey? Maybe the writers loved their Nina surprise so much from season one they wanted a reprise.

Oooh, hadn't thought of that one.

Oliver Wills is at it again

You know how they say "any publicity is good publicity - just as long as you spell my name right"? I'm going to make it a policy on this website to misspell Oliver Wills name. Here is the latest nugget of wisdom from Oliver Wills:

It's just a fact that most of the "black republicans" are being paid to be so.

Ubu...what?

Friend Joe at work tipped me off on this new distro of Ubuntu Linux (iso). Never heard of it, but I'm willing to give it a try. I may never fully divorced myself from Microsoft products, but I'm going to keep making the effort. Here's a PCWorld review of the product.

Administration is where you'll find several custom apps, and they're all extremely intuitive--every bit as nice as their counterparts in Fedora Core, though not as comprehensive. (Remember, a key place where Linux distributions vary is how they let you tweak the system.) After spending time with Ubuntu's Administration tools, I never want to see the Mandrake Control Center again.

Japan makes cool toys

For only $5,450, you can have your own personal robot for security and entertainment.

The robot can walk, get up and respond to voice commands such as "turn right." It links to mobile phones so that people can check on images of their homes taken on a digital camera inside the robot's head. It can be controlled by a remote and is programmed to do a dance. It also makes musical sounds.
