Anyway You Want It

"Here’s a YouTube tale with a happy ending: Filipino singer Arnel Pineda (pronounced “pin-eh-da”) posted footage of himself performing Journey covers with his band the Zoo and was discovered half a world away by Journey guitarist Neal Schon, who was trolling the site for new blood. Schon got in touch with Pineda (and convinced the vocalist he wasn’t pulling a prank on him) and voila: Pineda has been named the band’s latest frontman, replacing Steve Augeri, who left last year." --Rollingstone.com




If Hole needs a new singer, look me up! Post topic jacked from JoshNichols.com btw. =)

Any one else find it odd that the iMacs at Ellis Library boot into Windows? I mean why spend the money to get Macs when they'll just mimic a PC?

The AMA Alliance Sounds Stressed, Maybe They Should Smoke A Cig

"Shame on 'The Incredible Hulk' for unnecessarily adding smoking to a sequel that would have been just as exciting and believable without it," said Dianne Fenyk, President of the Alliance. "Universal Studios and the other Hollywood studios should be especially embarrassed for using comic book movies, which they market to children and know youth will want to see, to promote tobacco."

The above quote pretty much sums up a press release by the American Medical Association Alliance, which is riding the coattails of a big budget movie into the news. Saying that a character promotes cigar smoking by simply having one is as sensible as saying that the Hulk (the protagonist lead) is promoting running from the law by... running from the law. Maybe the cigar in the movie shows something about the character, like how he is old fashioned and inconsiderate of others' well-being.

In a related note, I have a theory about why crazy people are often in leadership positions of otherwise sane organizations. Maybe I'll share it sometime.

Financial Tip of the Week: Don't Get Caught

So... it looks like the person at MU responsible for the weekly financial tips newsletter/blog has resigned after being accused of stealing money from the university. I for one am outraged. Outraged that he got caught before he perfected his technique and gave the students tips on how to do it too.
