Mine queues up so stuff downloads after the last finishes.
Saturday night, I went out with a friend and heard the band do "It ain't me babe" remembered I loved a female singer's version of that and between Google and iTunes the song was mine! Also remembered some band I liked with a sad break up song and a few others I really liked- only one of which I could remember a snippet of a lyric to-and between googling that lyric and Amazon "Shakespeare My Butt" is winging it's way to my house as we speak.
I LOVE THE INTERNET!!!
Tonight's TDS guest is an astrophysicist, and he is one of the better guests I've ever seen on this show! Articulate, a perfect teacher in dumbing down complex concepts into simple explanations, and hilarious.

I have to figure that out. Which I'll do at work where I have a decent connection. I'm quite pathetic, really.
I was talking about the AMAZE of the internet with the family recently. Now, the parents aren't so adept. I coax them into stuff. And the site I was trying to google was impenetrable. However, it still kinda blows my mind that a mere decade ago, if I didn't know it, I looked in a paper dictionary and if that failed and I was really desperate, I called people. Iglet? What is puttanesca (spelt wrong)? I was screwed unless dad was reading the obscure. I educate him now on the obscure. I rely on google and wikipedia and it has expanded my knowledge of useless shit. IT'S SO COOL. Anyway.

I just checked the listing, he's the host of NOVA ScienceNow.
How does he pronounce "billions"?
Mom's a computer programmer, and The Greatest Step-Dad Evah! is a pretty big gadget/gadget researcher, so they're pretty up on most stuff, but they have no idea what the kids are into- so when we showed them this You. Tube. thing-they were facinated. They've also (well, TGSDE anyway) discovered just how awesome Macs are.

Should I quit my job over glue traps?
My parents have been mac people from the get go, due to my dad and his work. At the earlist point, macs (even the loading from a diskette macs) were superior to what they needed than MS. Dad intro'd me to the internet ( I wasn't impressed at the time! Hah. And yet they've met my internet friends before my uninternet grownup friends this winter!) Mom is learning PCs. There is lots of swearing and me figuring out the PC and the mac and the... for mom.
I suspect they'll never get iTunes. They bought me the gadget at my brother's specs...that's enough.
Crap. I should go to bed now.

I have no idea what that means.
Also, but only interesting to people who watch Dirt and did watch Popular
OMG Sam IS Garbo!
