Google and Bob Newhart
Ad Age Article on how Google is trying to use AdSense for more stuff. Apparently they want to use it as a content distribution system for content other than ads. Good luck with that Google. You have the bank balance to do whatever you want, but your other forays into non-interactive advertising haven't been so successful (radio, tv, print).

Random Junk
A video from the Soup on E.
A blog about Uggs. I thought they were a fad back in 2000 and I was proven wrong.
Garfield without Garfield.
Awesome parody of dumbass screenwriter Cody Diablo.

Buy an Audi and Stick it to the Man
Awesome ad about how you can break out of the system and stick it to the man by buying an Audi!
All this by buying an Audi instead of a BMW! Take that The Man!

Stanford Escort Marries Rich
I'm back.
Here is something about some expensive Silicon Valley escort. She's kind of hot but not really my type at all. Here is her no-longer-active website.

Out of town for a week
I will be out of town for a week starting tomorrow morning. While I may have intermittent internet access I will not be checking my email nor will I be posting regularly.
Hopefully back to the regular grind when I get back.

Random links and the elections
Creepy Scientology videos talking about their plans to blow up psychiatry.
Bankers and traders responsible for credit crisis have a big party or something.
Superdelegates will be deciding which democrat will lose the next presidential election. I've said it before and I will say it again - this race was the Democrat's to lose and I am pretty confident that between McCain and either Hillary or Barack, McCain will win. McCain can get some of the moderate democrats to switch over. Neither Hillary nor Barack has any appeal to moderate Republicans. Hell, I might even vote for McCain over these two. Obama has no real experience and no platform - just a wishy washy message about change - oh and he quit smoking to run! Clinton would do a decent job, but I just don't like her personally. After the worst Republican presidency ever, it looks like the Dems will lose yet again.

Democratic Candidates
As sick as the country is of George Bush and his miserably failed presidency you would think the Democrats would definitely be able to get someone into the White House next year. But with the candidates they are throwing up, I don't know that anyone can get elected.
Obama has a good message, but he doesn't really have any actual experience doing anything. There is no way he could get stuff run through Congress, or deal with foreign policy. Hillary could, but I just don't trust her.
And let's face it - middle America, the flyover states - are not going to elect either a woman or a black man. I know they have their projections so that they could win the states they need and take the election and just ignore the midwest and the south entirely. But I have a feeling that a lot of the "blue states" are going to have similar thoughts to mine. Which is "I don't really like either of these candidates, but John McCain I could live with."
If the Republicans are smart enough to make sure McCain gets the nod I have no doubt he will win. And who knows... He might be better than a Democrat would be. But it's still painful to see the Democratic party continuing to make the same mistakes over and over and over.

Microsoft and Yahoo
Denise Richard voted worst bond girl ever. Ha!
And of course the huge news of the day, Microsoft finally makes a bid for Yahoo. Honestly I am surprised it took so long. Yahoo's overseas assets are worth a whole lot more than it's market cap. Rumors about someone buying it have been going around for a long time. It's really a no brainer. Once they got rid of Semel the coast is clear for potential buyers. Here is TechCrunch's take on it, and what they think Microsofthoo would look like. Ballmer's letter to Yahoo's board, from Valleywag. Is Microsoft's offer too low, from Valleywag? And some analysis and commentary from Valleywag.
And, Super Obama girl. I'm not a big fan of Obama's, but whatever:
