Bionic Woman was my first big disappointment of this fall season. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t have high expectations. I just couldn’t see how the show could get screwed up. It’s a simple premise, a woman with super powers doing awesome stuff. In a world of Heroes, Alias, and the like, it should be TV equivalent of a box cake: easy to bake but delicious none the less.

One of my BUDS was asking about Google’s Cafeteria. To my astonishment (since this is kinda old news), there wasn’t a good source of info on it. Here’s what I could find:
Here’s what I know: Googleteria is a free cafeteria for all google employees, their families, and any of their guests. It has gourmet food.
I’m going to try to get a response from the official Google Blog. I’ll update this post if I find anything out.

I’m pretty sure gmail is open to the public now, but if anyone needs an invite I have 50 of them. Just email me.

As promised, I’m now blogging from my new domain, www.nicholasroussos.com. I customized the look and bolted down the hatches.
Hope you like it, if not send me some hate mail at me@nicholasroussos.com.

Interesting post over at InsideGoogle. Can you imagine a Google Calendar that will show you everything that is happening in the world on a particular day? Me neither, but I’m sure it would be cool.

One of my BUDS is an avid user of AllofMP3.com. He (and me too) was under the impression that it was completely legit. Well, it looks like that might not be so. Cnet has the story. via Slashdot

Look’s like I’ll be going to the Rose Condon Memorial Tournament afterall. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a fencing competition. I’ll be driving up Saturday and back on Sunday night. Wish me luck.

Jason Kottke of Kottke.org has decided to quit his job and blog full time (for the next year at least). Why? Because he likes blogging or something to that effect. He’s soliciting donations public radio style.
Anyway, I can completely understand where he is coming from. My dream is just that, to quit my job and… Well, do nothing. Sure, he’s actually going to make blogging his full time job. But me I just want to do nothing.
How would I make money? That’s the point. I don’t want to do anything that requires me to make a living, so to speak. I guess I’d rather just do the living part (leave the making part to others).

Font Editor is a nifty site that lets you draw a font then download it.

Very cool. I found this by accident. It’s the original Bottle Rocket screenplay.
There’s some great stuff that didn’t make the final movie like a scene about women who like tabasco sauce, how Bob isn’t allowed to drive his parents’ cars, and this:
DIGNAN: So who’s going to know?
BOB: My brother.
ANTHONY: Future Man.
BOB: Who?
ANTHONY: Futute Man. You know. Cause he looks like he’s from the future.
or this
ANTHONY (to Bob): In fifth grade Dignan used to wear cowboy boots for P.E.

Microsoft’s latest attempt to patent an “IsNot” operator has sparked discussion on Slashdot.
Isn’t this like trying to patent + or = functions? Will lawmakers finally admit that patent laws are broken and need fixing? I doubt it.

Apparently, there’s a recall on some early PSP’s (via Joystiq). I would like to say this is the death of the PSP, but I seriously doubt it. Seems like I remember the PS2 having problems with its DVD drive when it first came out. Sony, again?
To their credit, Sony does usually fix these problems.

The boys at Ponekeys have a new clip up, Quackshmack.
Quackshmack has struck again, this time vandalizing the Herscher household while Scott slept like a baby. Looks like young Scott’s gonna catch it hot if he doesn’t have the place cleaned up before the fam gets back in town. Watch the video to see the devastastion unfold!
Too bad there’s no quicktime version, but still funny as hell.

I’m confused which is the Nissan Z and which is the Ford Mustang?
Oh, hell, as Joshua from War Games says, “What’s the difference?”

Expect to see some major changes in the next couple of days.
1) New Custom Look
2) New Domain Name
3) New/More Bloggers - axed the idea, I’m going to try blogging it, a man alone.
Why the changes? Simple, our readership has grown expotentially and we feel the only way to continue our incredible growth is by growing the site too. (how’s that for cheesy PR speak?) Actually, I just thought it would be fun.
