William Shatner's new folk-song commercials for PriceLine (does anyone actually understand how PriceLine is actually supposed to work?) has to be the most brilliant ad campaign currently running... the Age of Aquarius one in particular. If you are unfamiliar with Bill's past as a singing icon ("Mr. Tambourine Man! Mr. Tambourine Man!!!") you may not get the full beauty, but I think they stand on their own as well. If you are into camp classics, the Shatner CD is definitely worth seeking out (most recommended cut: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds).

Site Status: Hey, nothing new has been done, but a few mails rolled in saying everything was back to normal yesterday for a couple of folks previously having difficulties. I suspect glitches with updating the DNS entry in local ISPs more and more all the time.
