Breakfast Links: Tasered Wedding, Amazing Race 13 & Neal Stephenson
One can not imagine - or at least this one can not imagine - the sort of wedding reception that would start in an art gallery and end in the bride and groom getting tasered by the local authorities. (via) The best part is that after being released from that arrest, a mere two nights [...]

Silverlight and the Olympics
Unsurprisingly it turns out that Microsoft’s deal with NBC to get them to use Silverlight for their video needs was a really good idea. Silverlight, as far as everything I’ve read and seen has been stagnating with little cause for adoption, no one was installing it. A catch-22 for the technology since no one will [...]
Dr. Horrible Act III. I can’t believe it’s over.
Over at least until the DVD comes out action packed with extras. :) Third act lives up to the rest and definitely does not let you down. I’ll just say… I pretty much did not see any of that coming and I am so down with the ending. I had so many favourite parts… I [...]
Dr. Horrible Act II. You. Must. Watch.
Well, Act II is out now. Watch Act I again as a refresher or for the first time if you missed it somehow (what were you not on the internets yesterday??). This one’s a lot more serious than the first episode but Nathan Fillion again shows his comic genius, almost whenever he’s in a scene. [...]
Breakfast Links: Kindle 2.0, NYC Groping & Doctor Horrible
Ok, it’s been a long while since I’ve talked about the Kindle, mostly because it’s just been plugging along, business as usual. The Kindle stores up to like 140k titles now, which is good, but definitely needs more. Now the big rumor is that the next version is going to be rolling out sometime around [...]

Watch Dr. Horrible Act I. Really. Now.
Just in case you somehow didn’t read it this morning, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Act I is out now and you should watch it. I mean, it’s less than 14 minutes. What do you have that’s better to do? As if you’re working, please. It’s pretty awesome. NPH is truly excellent. And of course I [...]
Breakfast Links: SciFi TV, Telectroscope & Stewardess Uniforms
Today’s tubebits from sf signal provided a cornucopia of interesting links. Take, for example, this list of the top 10 Most Unjustly Canacelled Series This Decade. Which of course leads with Firefly, seconded by Angel. Honestly, I can’t remember what I thought of Angel ending. I probably was pretty upset. The list gets a little [...]

Dollhouse spoilers!
Well the 411 is flowing in like … something that flows in to .. stuff… really fast. Check out the 10 Dollhouse facts from Pink Raygun who got to read the pilot for Dollhouse! Or don’t read them if you don’t want stuff spoiled for you - I don’t think they spoil anything particularly juicy [...]
Breakfast Links: Girl Scout, Dollhouse & Skin Disease v D&D
Some people are overly motivated. For example, this 15 year old girl who has sold 17,323 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. 17 thousand. (via) Honestly, though, I think it’s kinda sad. I mean, she worked 7 days a week, 3-7pm mon-sat and then 11-7 on sun from December to March. What the hell? Ah well. [...]

Breakfast Links: Reaper, Iron Man 2 & Indiana Jones 4
Well you’ll be happy and relieved to know that CW has put in an order for 13 more Reapers. While it isn’t the most fantastic show out there, I still like it alot and recently it’s been on a getting really good trajectory dropping the tired formula that dogged the first many episodes and exploring [...]
