This could've gone in the election thread too, I suppose: nice piece about MSNBC's Rachel Maddow -- I didn't know she was "out", altho' I figured she must be gay.

Great article.  But when and how did angry GOPers come to dominate the comments on SFGate articles?  Geesh.

I always liked her on Air America.  I don't remember hearing her say she was gay, but I would have been extremely shocked if she weren't!

Get ready to lose an hour or two.  Mix magazine has archived all of their Classic Tracks articles about the stories behind the recording of classic tunes 1960-92.  Very detailed, you'll love these.

Or maybe a week or two. I'm gonna need to read most of those. I love the interweb.

TANC, after Gaz & I got to hear "Rubber Duckie" on Classic Kasem this weekend, a nice piece on SFGate's parenting blog about Bert & Ernie's, er, relationship:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/parenting/detail?blogid=29&entry_id=30676

"Children's Television Workshop's official position has been that Bert and Ernie are "friends," and, you know, whatever. Clay Aiken kept telling people he was straight, and no one with any sense believed him either."

LOL!

Double TANC: today's Jim Henson's Birthday.

hmm, it appears that some machines don't have the character set top display what I tried to do.  Urth: I imagine you're seeing a bunch of question marks and such. .. what I see is upside and backwards text that I generated from http://www.fliptext.org/

It worked for me.  I just didn't know how you did it.  Pretty cool stuff, maynard.

here's what it looks like if your machine is set up w the same character set:



I was trying to type like the famous backwards talking little person that appears in the dream sequences.   .... except it's just upside down, not backwards...

I thought you were impersonating the dream weirdo from the show, but I couldn't figure out how you did it, either!

I was listening to Weather Report's "Elegant People", trying to figure out who sampled the phrase at the beginning of the song. A little research produced this site: http://www.secondhandsongs.com
Awesome!

btw: it was Portishead.
