• A preview for this fall’s new Battlestar event, “Razor,” was run during the season premier of Eureka. The return of Admiral Cain (well, sort of a “return”). Yippie!
• Kudos to Jon Lovitz, for finally taking the step nobody else seemed to want to take and roughing up Andy Dick. Bout time somebody did.
• Somebody won a counterclaim suit against the RIAA empire. Woo hoo! “We respectfully believe that this ruling is in error and is an isolated occurrence”
• A hilarious list of movies that were actually saved by being historically inaccurate. Most of them are funny, but the ones on the last page are hilarious. Warning of occasional language.
• Excellent. Katee Sackhoff is to become a recurring character on Bionic Woman.
• Speaking of Sackhoff, Sci-Fi announced that they’ll be putting together some “mini-sodes” to hold fans over until the 4th (and final) season return of the show.
• Good grief. A new Norman Lear show? The dude’s like 85. Clearly, he doesn’t like retirement.
• So, Universal HD actually knows how to cut a promo for Firefly. Hey, you morons at Fox, take notes. You guys have never, ever made a promo that was worth watching, for any series you’ve ever aired. At least if you have, I’ve never seen it. Nobody does promos worse than Fox. NOBODY. The home shopping networks assemble better promos than Fox.
• The wide gap of employee to profit values when comparing Microsoft to Wal-Mart. Interesting. Me thinks Wal-Mart needs to restructure a few things.
• I haven’t given ‘em all a listen as yet, but this is an interesting top 10 set of historic audio recordings.
• Wow. The first McDonalds commercial, featuring a truly moronic version of Ronald.
• Somebody has started a nice compilation of tons of great GMail Greasemonkey scripts into a single Firefox extension. If you install it, don’t forget to get rid of the Greasemonkey scripts it contains if you’ve already got any of them going.
• “Now that’s some heavy lifting.” - Indeed.
• Good grief. You think you were a Transformers fan? Yikes.
• Windows Media DRM cracked. Again. The more DRM systems cracked, the better. It’s even more fun when it’s a system that gets cracked over and over again.
• Another step towards finally getting The X-Files 2 movie into gear.
• The joys of bizarro search phrases
• A partial list of nuclear “whoops” scenarios over the decades.
• I will absolutely be making another attempt to switching over this site to the Drupal system when the version 6 release is in a usable beta form within the next few months. They are putting an enormous amount of effort into this revision, and I hope to see all the bigger issues I had for converting over to it a thing of the past. Many of the improvements they are making look fantastic.

I’ve been slowly playing catch up on many various episodes of The Colbert Report I’ve missed over the last year or so. For fun, I tossed together some of my favorites of his intro lines for the show (leaving off the “This is The Colbert Report!” closing)…

• This show is an acquired taste. If you don’t like it, acquire some taste.
• You’ve heard of truth in advertising? This is truth with advertising.
• Happy National TV Turn-Off Week, you hypocrites!
• Warning, the contents of USA Today are really about the USA yesterday.
• Nation, It’s time to grab the bull by the horns! If there are no horns, you’re grabbing a cow, stop it!
• Cleanliness is next to Godliness: Churches, fill your baptismal fonts with Purell.
• I got my mojo working—mojo, of course, is what I call my assistant Monica Johnson.
• This weekend, Hippies celebrated Earth Day; maybe one day they’ll celebrate Jobs Day.
• When life gets you down, don’t get mad… Get Stephen.
• Males aged 18-34 with disposable income, prepare to have your purchasing habits swayed.
• Could being a Nielsen family kill you? Watch the entire show to find out.
• America, remember the most important gun safety tip: if you have a gun, you’ll be safe.
• It’s the first day of November sweeps, and I’m pregnant!
• Tonight, the show is in…3D! Unless you are watching on a television.
• Don’t touch that dial, and if your TV has a dial… go get a new TV.

BTW, did the rest of you folks out there in the Colbert Nation pick up your issue #1 of Stephen Colbert’s Tek Jansen comic?
