Did you all check out the Google logo this morning?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hee, Tom! The biggest thing I miss in iGoogle is getting to see the special logos that come and go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
then there's also the lack of imagination/experience to prevent them from thinking outside the box they knew
That's what fascinates me. I mean, Star Trek was perfectly willing to try and reach beyond its budget in a number of areas, but I'm pretty sure dumping words on a screen wouldn't have been that expensive (was it being done on contemporaneous news shows?) to do badly.
I wonder when someone looked at the TV screen sideways and had a lightbulb go off.
And right now I just want us to get further away from the TV. I want my ePaper, dammit.
Okay, nap time.

Am I alone in thinking it really boring and weird with total charisma vacuums instead of actors?
No you're not. I've been finding all the Jane Austen adaptations so far very heavy and slow. Jane Austen for me, has always matched the romance with a lot of wit, and I really feel it's been missing here.
Also, I had just watched a couple of episodes of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, so I had a total mindbend to see Billie Piper go from high class whore to Fanny Price.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

According to Wikipedia, chyron's been around since 1966.

Because books.
Dead of the cute. He's such a talker, Jess!
Is it Legos birthday or something? I always miss the logos unless someone points them out because of iGoogle, too.

Well, there you go. How cool.
H&M is celebrating their 65th anniversary, and they're giving Fossil watches with the H&M logo to all of their employees. (I'm one.) Which seems awfully nice to me. Less nice is the fact that apparently they're already available on eBay.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Did people watch the SAG awards? I seriously love award shows, but so sad this had no red carpet coverage (except horrible TV Guide channel) and then the awards - iugh - I think on the whole people looked bad - no ties, weird dresses, messy hair. Then there were old actors seeming confused and frail. And the Daniel Day Lewis paying homage to Heath Leadger in his acceptance speech which seemed odd. The whole thing was a mess.
