RSS feeds – Daily Show and Colbert
Jeff sez, “When Viacom pulled Daily and Colbert Report clips from YouTube, they began posting them on Viacom-owned iFilm.
While iFilm has a comprehensive set of clips from each episode of both shows, they incredulously don’t provide RSS feeds. I used Dapper and Feedburner to create the following RSS feeds for both shows. Enjoy!”

John McCain – get some better TECH support !
Oops.
MySpace has not been good to this presidential candidate.
Someone on Presidential hopeful John McCain’s staff is going to be in trouble today. They used a well known template to create his Myspace page. The template was designed by Newsvine Founder and CEO Mike Davidson …. Davidson gave the template code away to anyone who wanted to use it, but asked that he be given credit when it was used, and told users to host their own image files.
McCain’s staff used his template, but didn’t give Davidson credit. Worse, he says, they use images that are on his server, meaning he has to pay for the bandwidth used from page views on McCain’s site.
Davidson decided to play a small prank on the campaign this morning as retribution. Since he’s in control of some of the images on the site, he replaced one that shows contact information with a statement:
Today I announce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay marriage…particularly marriage between two passionate females.
video – the Onion News Network
Seems the Onion is getting into the spoof news biz.

the SAWCHUKS on TV
Rockin’ sent me a link to an episode of a TV show called Shopping Bags. (On the Not-For-Men Network.)
Yeesh.
Looks like another trashy reality show. Here’s the gist.
Two pretty hosts invade a home or trailer and ridicule the possessions and lifestyle of the “real people”.
(If the home is too unphotogenic, they edit in a stand-in. It’s all done with CGI.)
On the pretext of a “free improvement” to the hellhole, they systematically embarrass everyone in the household, starting with the teenage daughter.
(Often they bring in a model for this part.)
The family in this episode — the Sawchuks — …, you know, they look, somehow familiar.
Why, why do people agree to go on reality TV?
See the video for yourself: Shopping Bags.

I needed this last week!
While my parents were away in Mexico, I was walking their dog — Pete — four times a day.
With this ingenious device I could have stayed on the internet and indoors even longer.
I think I’ll get one for all my dog owning friends for Christmas!
definition of “political correctness”
Political Correctness:
“Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Thanks Francis and George.
twits on Twittervision
You’ve got to see this:
Networked communication has dwindled to the point of near unintelligible grunts and random phrases from people you do not know.
This is a real time world map of the supernova web application twitter in action.
how to repair a bike tire
This is the first of a one part tutorial on bicycle maintenance.
1. Carry your bike to the local bicycle shop.
2. Curse the harried staff soundly for needing a week to fix a flat.
3. Google “repair bicycle tire”
4. Click down the results page until you find Jim Langley’s site
5. Watch Jim’s video tutorial because you are too lazy to read his text
6. Curse your bicycle pump because it has the wrong valve attachment and you have no adaptor
7. Repair tire (walking to the service station twice)
8. Inflate far too much (anticipating a slow leak)
9. Try to remember to buy another tube SOON as your repair will undoubtedly fail
