Also, for those of you who went to Napoleon Dynamite last night, Uncle Rico, a.k.a. Jon Gries has quite the storied career. One popular reference may be the driver of the illegal aliens (haha, so clever) in Men in Black. I, however, remember him in The Pretender (hey, it was a good show... sure, it was a thinly veiled ripoff of the Fugitive, but it had its moments!), as Broots, nervous computer/science/technology/nerd guy.

Oh, and Ed, I'd like to help you out with the dream wings correlation dealie, but I dream about chicken wings all the time...

Oh, and for Jere, Kip hasn't been in anything else. In fact the only previous work mentioned in IMDB for Aaron Ruell is as a still photographer.

Further to the Ted Turner view on the media, when did Ted Turner move to the left-wing? Perhaps I was wrong, and he always was, but I've heard stuff from him recently which you wouldn't expect from most moderates in the states, let alone right-wing businessmen. From an interview with Charlie Rose:

• "History will look back and see this war in Iraq as the biggest debacle . . . as bad as (jokingly) the AOL Time-Warner merger."
• "The war in Iraq should be the last war ever fought."
• "We were smart enough to build refrigerators and internal combustion engines but we didn't notice because there weren't many of us. This has been magnified by the number of people in the world."
• "We're no longer living off the interest of this world, we're living off the capital."


Oh yeah, and if anyone is interested, Napoleon Dynamite at 7:15 at the Princess. We should meet there around 7.

Graffiti archaeology

This is pretty mindblowing: Graffiti archaeology. Cassidy Curtis, a brilliant artist and programmer, created a little Flash application that lets you view pieces of graffiti around San Francisco -- as they've evolved over time. He got a group of photographers to share their pictures taken of certain areas of graffiti, dating back years. Then he stitched them together into layered images: You can view a particular wall, then peel back each layer like an onion skin, showing the graffiti that existed before it. You can even zoom in if you want to look at something up close.

It's a lovely interface -- neatly evoking the idea of time passing in an urban environment.

Napoleon killed by medics and enemas, study claims

There was no plotting by royalists, no arsenic and no murder. Instead, Napoleon Bonaparte was killed by incompetent doctors and too many uncomfortably large enemas, according to a new study.
