Andrew Bayer dissects the moth-man at the center of Microsoft's new MSN ad campaign and finds it "evil and insectile." [Scott Rosenberg's Links & Comment] It wasn't me - it was the Raven! Scott, you're misreading. =)

ooooh - now I see how Rob Lowe is getting written off of West Wing...I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen tonight's episode yet (haha, left coasters!), but it makes sense - actually, it plays off some things from last season. And involves Joshua Malina aka Jeremy from Sports Night. WOO! =)

On a slightly less positive note than nifty West Wing guest appearences, the damn Celtics somehow managed to lose to the damn Bulls. Mind you, there was some ostentatiously bad refereeing going on, but still - Pierce had only five points in the second half, which was just baaaad. Damn.

1880 Census Data Online. The 1880 US census data is now online and available for free searching. I spotted this the other day via... [megnut] geektacular - though the 1890 Census is the more historically significant one. Why, you ask? It's the first one done on Hollerith machines - the first punch card machines from the man who founded IBM.

WOOHOO! Jeremy from Sports Night is guesting on West Wing tonight! I'm going to sit here and pray repeatedly that they decide to bring him in as a recurring character. And I think that's Winnie from the Wonder Years as his assistant. Oh my.
