I fail to see how $1.8B per year in additional taxes will hurt (or sway) oil companies that made $123B last year. $100/barrel is a red herring when you’re talking about profits already so enormous.

Catching up on the cycling world and what’s up with the former DSC team members and Zabriskie. Slipstream made a great showing at TOC ‘08, and Leipheimer won it again.

Former DSC team manager Johann Bruyneel and teammates Leipheimer and Contador are now on Team Astana, which has been barred from competing on the ‘08 TDF because of past doping by former members.

Tigers/Vols tickets are hot. My cousin was featured on local TV with the news that he was reselling his tickets.

Jorge Garcia’s blog.

Head, meet sand. The DTV transition is almost a year away and I haven’t seen mention of it on TV at all. Isn’t that ironic?

A Pythonese way to Scrobble. I’m thinking of rigging up a Python script that keeps a random (but parameterized) stream of music flowing using Justeport to my Airport Express, and it would be nice to have it update last.fm.

A.O. Scott: “The first time I saw “Juno,” I was shocked to find myself tearing up at the end”. So did I. This movie is that good. Go see it.

I received plenty of heads-up notices from the Rush.com mailing list about ticket pre-sales for the upcoming leg of Rush’s 2008 US tour, so I was plenty ready to purchase tickets for Scott, Mark, and me to go see them at Hersheypark Stadium on 7/17. What I didn’t expect was to get 3rd row center section seats! MusicToday might be finally getting the best tickets in the hands of fans and not scalpers! I think they added a CAPTCHA prior to ticket assignment since the last time I used them — I think that helped.
We are psyched for the show, that’s for sure! Now the wait begins.
