Tax day is the day that Xbox will permanently discontinue support for Xbox Live on the original Xbox. A sad day indeed.

Part dipping cup, part squeeze packet. Sure....why not?
News: The Lancet retracts vaccine-autism links study
The Lancet is a major British medical journal. In 1998, they printed a study linking the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine to autism and bowel disease. Since then, 10 of the 13 co-authors have renounced the study.
The original author, Brit surgeon and medical researcher Andrew Wakefield now faces being stripped of his license. But, nonetheless, the study has spawned a stupidly large debate over whether or not giving your child vaccination can cause autism.
Couple of things here:
First, any study that links a syrum to both autism and BOWEL disease, two seemingly distinct issues that probably shouldn't be together in the same relation, probably isn't the most reliable thing in the world. Big surprise it was scrutinized.
Second, good for The Lancet. Shame on shoddy science.
And, yes. Anything who decided not to immunize their kids: you're a simpleton. Immunize your damn kids.

Oh boy. Diesel....don't spend too much (though if you do, let me know if I can help finance ha!)
How-to: Survive a 35K foot fall - Popular Mechanics
Yeah...people should read this before getting on a plane. Assuming, of course, they don't want to sleep on said plane or for any days leading up to said flight. Eeeesh.
News: Mirimax ('Pulp Fiction', 'Clerks', etc) studio closes
End of an era. Kevin Smith, Steven Soderbergh, and others got their start at this indy-haven. It will be missed....
Cool: Highlander: The Series back on TV!!! Reason to watch Syfy
I boycotted Syfy after the name change, so maybe I missed a commercial. But, my favorite (guilty geeky pleasure) show is back on TV! Highlander airs (apparently) once nightly. Though, it doesn't garner a spot on the "Shows" listing on Syfy's website. Odd. Whatever gets it on TV, but odd.
