2. Netflix

   I opened an account with Netflix Monday morning and snagged three movies that I had a mild interest in seeing. A day later they were in my mailbox. Last night we watched The Manchurian Candidate. Tonight I have episodes IV and V of the Star Wars series, which the geek in me refuses to buy for the fifth time but the child in me really wants to see on DVD w/ my adult HiFi audio rig.

   Back to Netflix: Wow. This is how it should be done.

   Back to The Manchurian Candidate: I stopped reading Dean Koontz novels around the end of middle-school, is this one of his post-1992 novels? Contrived. Would have made a better comedy. If you liked it, go rent Jacob’s Ladder, which leaves all the weak midichlorian-type specifics to your imagination and is much more successful because of it.

4. Tufte - Rhetorical ploys

   

   I know I’ve been guilty of them. Not new, but comments bump the thread in my RSS reader and I get to play catchup.

7. DJ Food 20th Century

   Anyone manage to snag this before it was taken offline? Looks like he put this book, to a mashup.

   UPDATE: holy shit. Have been less than impressed by the whole mashup-scene todate. Alright, alright, you’ve gotten my attention. Snag the DJ Food one. Tracklist.

9. Unreasonable search

   Via mefi: Supreme court reversal of Illinois Supreme Court decision which invalidated evidence found by drug dogs during routine traffic stops with no probable cause for the sniff. Link. The decisions are short, read them.

   My instincts don’t like it but I think I could be persuaded to understand the logic.

   There go those activist judges, am I right? 😉

10. Ostrogoths

    From Phil:

    This is your last reminder.

    Friday night. Jan 21st. 10pm

    The Sons of Buford, The Ostrogoths and a few of the side projects that Nate Lohrmann (the impending marriage of whom we are celebrating) has been involved with (including, but not limited to Phil Turner and the Bunsen Burners and Bananas and Turds)will be
    appearing at the Talking Head.

    Admission is about 7 bucks.

    This is not something to consider missing. Even if you are actively in a coma, find a way to make it. This may be the last hurrah for any and all of the above groups.

    Also, J Roddy Walston and the Buisness, one of the best bands I’ve seen in a loooong time will be closing the show. So stick around even after the Ostrogoths and 17 Forever.

    Directions to the club:
    Take 95 to 395
    Right on Conway.
    Left on Light.
    Stay left and go through the light onto Calvert St.
    Take Calvert until the road splits. Stay Right.
    Turn Right on Lexington.
    Your very first left, which looks like an alley, is Davis St.
    The club wil be on the left.
