“Discovered the TV series Chuck yesterday. Ended up watching half the first series in bed. Maybe it was the hot blonde Australian chick, but I actually liked it.”
UWS (University of Western Sydney) graduate, grew up in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. It's terrible that I should know, but I automatically IMDB nearly everything I watch now out of habit :-)
- Duncan Riley
(Duncan: "I automatically IMDB nearly everything"), not just the hot blondes then :)
- David O'Halloran
I do the same thing. If only someone would write an IMDB App for the iPhone!
- Niall Connellan
You mean "knockwurst girl"?? I know what you mean, but Chuck's a very light and fun to watch TV show also.
- João Almeida
Cyndy, I've not seen those commercials, but I can say with complete certainty that the Outback Steakhouse DOESN'T serve Australian food :-)
- Duncan Riley
But it's a BLOOMIN' onion. We don't say Bloomin' so it MUST be Australian, right?
- Cyndy
If Chuck is clever, then they've cleverly hidden that fact in the advertising for it
- Jason Carreira
Same here... but instead pulled an all-nighter and watched all 13 episodes in season 1. Just in time for season 2 to start in a few weeks
- Jonathan Wong
not sure which episode, but the "we wont touch Linux, we're Mac people, we're artists" was a hoot
- Duncan Riley
Duncan, brilliant show -- glad you're hooked. And the brunette (the sister) isn't half-bad either, though I agree that the blonde is absolutely amazing. :) I think new episodes start up here in a few weeks, finally.

You buy a cup or a pound? How much? Will need to watch the "Bucket List" again. I skimmed it and didn't see anything about the coffee in it.

I need a few more suggestions for the Tekzilla segment "Websites We Just Can't Get Enough Of!" A website that's useful, fun, or just plain-old entertaining. What are your favorites?
http://www.lipsum.com/ being a web dev, i use this site a lot when mocking up pages. It has interesting insight also on the whole lorem ipsum thing.
- Handy Lukman
I second Robert Seidman. http://scienceblogs.com also has a lot of great, accessible science bloggers.

How about InterfaceLIFT? Free backgrounds aren't anything interesting, but really beautiful free multi-monitor backgrounds are (at least to me). http://interfacelift.com/ I just found it yesterday, maybe I'm behind the times and everybody else has already been there.

Considering the Olympics games you can try to find something related. It is not web per se but there are some update services in twitter for the olympic. One is twittolympic, other the nbcolympic and beijing2008

http://dealoco.com The site allows you to find great deals and it rates how hard it is to get the deal based on a Grief Factor scale. I love this site.

urbandictionary.com, one of the various Jargon File sites, and bash.org are a handful that I can sit at for awhile and be terribly amused.
- Jim Stanger
Wow.. so many.. lots of sites that have sooo many ways to communicate, and of course endless sites to store tasks/timesheets that never get a look in.

I second Plurk, sadly. The karma thing annoyed me. Too much pressure.

kwippy - but it's so new I could change my mind. There are a few others but sadly I can't remember there names or the proper misspellings.

Jonathan - wow! Digg and Twitter? Have you replaced them, or just moved on?
- Veronica
@ Veronica - Reddit has replaced Digg for me. Just the comment threads alone on Reddit are awesome - thoughtful, witty, and interesting. As for Twitter that's been usurped by FF.

Uber.com I had high hopes for it, but things just didn't seem to work right and I never was really able to get into it.

Plurk, Social Thing, Mixx are history for me. My on the way out list includes Pownce and Digg.

@Percival - yes. Smooshing is perfectly acceptable when done to furbabies with love. :) I smoosh my basset all the time.

@WarMaiden: please share the above with my cats, as they seem to think they are above smooshing. Sadly, I have the war wounds to prove it...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@StupidBlogger - I have rarely been moved to smoosh a cat. Haughtiness and snobbery decrease my wanna-smoosh factor - I stick with doglets :)

On Guam (FYI we are USA, look it up on wikipedia) and I cannot see it. It's due to the fact we have APNIC addresses. We have the same issue with the free videos on Sci-Fi, NBC, etc... For the love of God we are Americans give us our free T.V. :)

Maybe I don't see the irony in this film and I'm taking it too seriously, but, as a Dutch person being, I think it's quite scary to see a 11 year old girl handling a weapon like this. I don't think you'll be able to find a girl in the Netherlands who touched a weapon like that ever.
- Ton Zijp
And then she promptly walks around in front of the barrel - bad call - still... nice execution. As for the Why? Why not... Boy scouts tie knots, whittle sticks with knives and shoot bows & arrows. Why shouldn't a girl be interested in guns? It's not like it's a strictly male pasttime.
- Lucretia Pruitt
Guns Kill, Cars Kill, Planes Kill, Diet Kills. All have been used as weapons, but there is generally one thing on that list that is known to be used as a weapon of defense by free peoples. Though I don't own a gun, I think it is commendable that young people are taught to handle a weapon that can be used in defense against those that would wish her/him harm. The only problem I have with...

Ugliest thing I have seen in a long time. Who would teach a young person such a thing? There is alot of other challenges to be able to take apart, video and show off. I vote for: Parent FAIL.

Why would a family need guns like that in a house? Who in the US need an automatic assault rifle in their house?
- darodave
Sorry, I am trying to think logically about this thread. Lets just send this link to the families of Columbine or Virginia Tech victims. Makes me real proud to be apart of a something that lets these devices exist. It doesn't make sense.
