News: J.C.Penney to get rid of its iconic sales

Moving to a everyday low price, monthly special, friday clearance model. Interesting. Also dealing away with the $19.99 in favor of $20 pricing structure.

Awesome: 'Star Wars Uncut' released!

The entire of Episode IV: A New Hope in 15-second increments of user-submitted clips. Clips were live-action, animation, stop-motion, claymotion, puppets, and just all-around awesomeness. Watch it while you can!

Obit: Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno dead at 85

Shortly after firing and 2-month cancer battle. Feel bad for the guy, even if he quite clearly should have said more about the scandal sooner.

News: Geeks to FINALLY testify on SOPA/PIPA implications

There are days when I just want to throw my hands up, give up on all my dreams and careers....and run for Congress. I swear to be a one-term Senator. Be a rules stickler and call out any Senator to provide sources and evidence for any claim clearly put to them by someone else. Oh...and overturn (or at least sponsor the bill to overturn) all of the technology-related catastrophes (read: acts of Congress) in the last, say, 10 years.

Techno-phobes in Congress. The whole lot of them. Why are the 'expert' witnesses to testify before Congress on technology related issues always executives of organizations which have nothing to do or entirely avoid technology advances? Seriously?
