For me it is Laffy Taffy. All the other snacks I can go without. And I can absolutely not buy Laffy Taffy. But when there is Laffy Taffy around I can NOT stop eating it.
When I piss my friends off the buy me like 50 pieces of Laffy Taffy.
I can not throw it away either. So I eat it, all at once. By piece 15 my jaw is hurting but I keep going. I could kill my self with Laffy Taffy, easily.
I never buy or eat any other candy or junk food. Just does not appeal to me.

"World of Warcraft Server-Blade Auction to Benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."
Seems like a very useless and pointless item to own. Even when I was a hardcore WoW raider, I'd have no desire to own an empty, old server blade.

Hey! I was watching the Star Trek space hippy episode and just found out Charles Napier died last week (October 6th). Was that noted here or did everyone miss it? I always liked his work, but he ruled as the singing space hippy - of which I understand he actually wrote and performed those songs.

It always saddens me a bit to read about another long-established analog tech being relegated to the history books. While a small part of it is nostalgia, my biggest concern is that the more stuff we create on digital medium only, the more likely it becomes that it will be lost since there is no physical record of it. Hence I worry that we are heading towards an inevitable "Digital Library of Alexandria" scenario unless we can find ways to mass-archive a lot of this stuff.
Wasn't there a scene in the old Roller Ball film...
Like they completely digitized all of the libraries... and in one of the scenes with James Caan they said the master PC took a dump and permanently lost an entire era or category of History? I think the technician wrote it off as "oh well" but James Caan looked sad.
Technically, going digital means that unless something super-bad happens (like global EMP or Mad Max scenario) nothing should ever really be lost. Like a warehouse fire shouldn't (hopefully) lose the complete works of <something> assuming the people know how to properly backup off-site. Or for someone like Lucas to (cough) lose the original pre-CGI prints of Episodes IV - VI
On the other hand, digital is kind of a short-term medium. If all of humanity just died right now, those CDs/DVDs/HDDs would only last some years or decades. Then again, the cheap paper we use now probably wouldn't fair TOO much better.
I say we use more parchmanet for the important written works... or laser-etched stone/titanium/etc.
Digital is just a format, not a medium. You could just as easily encode vital digital work by laser etching it into titanium as something analogue. |

Great post Jim. I see this type of thing more and more, and have the same concerns, as everyone should. Some of the 'new' digital mediums are written to defy and deliberately contradict writings in our old history books, for whatever political and/or self-serving reason. So yes, it is ‘very’ important that some type of hardcopy archives are kept so all the original/tangible ‘consistent’ writings are not lost and replaced with new/digital erroneous writings.
I keep my old college hard copy history books, so when I come across anything contradictory, I have them to reference.

The Big Bang Theory - Brent Spiner: Mortal Enemy |

That was a good episode of Big Bang Theory last night.
I was half-expecting another evil move by Wheaton, akin to the destruction during their bowling match.
Instead he decided to play the good guy, and Dat... er... Brent got to cheese it up. |
