A few link-worthy items that caught my eye but that I can't squeeze a full post out of (yet)...

The Real Oregon: a new(ish) blog subtitled "Oregon for the eccentric traveler." Looks promising, with travel tidbits about Oregon that seem pretty interesting to me.

How a $2 bottle transformed the wine industry: Charles Shaw wine (AKA Two (or Three) Buck Chuck) turns five. Who'd'a thunk it? And for the record, I rather like the wines.

Burst Culture: A bit of brilliance from Warren Ellis that's been making the rounds online. Pretty much ties in with ideas I've been having about the web and blogging, and giving me stuff to think about.

Tonight's lauded season finale of "Lost"? Yeah, there was 10, maybe 15 minutes out of the entire two hours that was any good. And those 10 or 15 minutes had to do with one thing and one thing only: revenge upon the Others.

You want a rant? I got your rant right here...

Spoilers ahoy.

Could you try not to ruin whatever TV show is currently broadcasting by cutting in with no warning to report on tepid election results? I mean really, that's just inept; every other station is able to scroll the election results in a marquee on the bottom of the screen, or even shrinks the main program picture to show off the fancy graphics of same. In fact, you used to do that! What gives?

So barring the technical ability to scroll a text overlay, maybe you could do the special reporting thing during a commercial, or at least some time when I'm not missing key points to the plot of "Law & Order." Both shows.

Yeah. Just a little irritating. Especially considering that the "news" of the election results was so lackluster (I already said "tepid") that it could have waited until the 11 o'clock news anyway.

I'm just sayin'.

Yeah, I can't help it. I have to say tonight's episode of "Lost" jumped the shark. They just went all retarded. Why?

...well, check after the link. There's spoilers, not that it matters I guess.

So have you been exposed to lolcats yet? If not, check out here and here. I can't help it; they make me laugh. I mean really, really laugh. Especially the random ones.
