As seen on Yosha’s site, there’s a new creative contest on the web. Instead of slogging away at a whole feature film, why not take a crack at a commercial? Conservatives need not apply for: Bush in 30 Seconds. Anybody wanna loan me a camera?

Where have all the fun artists gone?
UK Graffiti darling Banksy decided that having his art selected by a curator would probably be boring. So, he cut out the middle man to get his work hanging in the Tate. Nice. For those that don’t like graffiti, lighten up – it’s just paint.
Closer to home
Jared
Kellie and I went to Jared’s school last Tuesday to discuss his IEP. We met with his regular teacher, the speech therapist, the vice principal, the in-home coordinator, and some other woman that I wasn’t introduced to.
On the one hand, it was absolutely depressing to realize that your three-year-old’s goals for the next year [...]
It looks like I’m not getting that sports car after all
The Beeb reports that there is ‘no health benefit’ from prayer. This would explain a lot of things about my life:
Driving a mini-van instead of a sports car
No visits to mars
No flying car
Angelina married twice, but never to me
Still no job at ILM
My continued lack of telekinesis
A solution to Comment Spam
I haven’t tried James Seng’s Bayesian filter for MT yet, but it looks like a winner. Hopefully this will solve all of our problems and put to rest any fears that comment spam is unblockable.
For those not clued in to Bayesian Filtering yet, it’s an old (as in 1764 old) mathematical technique that rose [...]
A night out with a pretty girl and a fat guy
My wife and I went out Friday night to Johns Hopkins’ Shriver Hall to hear political activist, documentary filmmaker and best-selling author, Michael Moore. About 5,000 people showed up which is 4,000 more than the little auditorium could hold, so Michael spent the first half hour talking to folks out on the lawn while [...]
Rush to seek help
Well, I’m sure you’ve all heard the news: Limbaugh confessed. I wouldn’t even blog about it since it’s such and obvious thing for me to do. I mean, you’re all thinking to yourselves, “Of course Jemal has to jump on Rush for his hypocrisy and weakness.” But the truth is that I feel [...]
Brad doesn’t suck
You know all those small time artists the internet is supposed to be inspiring to release their own music? You know how it’s going to change the way music is produced and put the evil record companies out of business? You know how that’s all starting to seem like a pipe dream? [...]

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Comic Izzard tipped as new Dr Who
Cross-dressing comedian Eddie Izzard is to be the new Dr Who, according to a former star of the sci-fi series.
I’m too confused to know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Go ask the guys at SlashDot.
Maybe they should ask Uday and Qusay – oh wait, never mind
Mother Jones has a good piece on the hunt for WMD in Iraq cobbled together from the wire services. It seems that while David Kay and his 1,200 inspectors haven’t actually found anything incriminating, they want another $600 million to look for it. Am I the only one who would rather see that [...]
