about never wanting to be caught dead in a Phillipino provincial prison.  It looks pretty cool to me now.  CPDRC kicks ass!

For those of you watching Battlestar Galactica, you know about the podcast, right?  If you sometimes like DVD commentary (some are good, some are bad.  Okay, most are bad, these days), you may be interested.  Ron Moore, executive producer of the show, has recorded podcast commentaries for most of the episodes so far.  They are on the DVDs, but as each show airs, the podcasts are posted online.  He records them in his home, generally, drinking Scotch and smoking.  You often hear trucks dive by outside, gardeners blowing leaves, the cats and dogs run around the house.  Sometimes, his wife, Mrs. Ron, joins him.

Ron Moore, by the way, was a Star Trek writer from the TNG era and worked on most of DS9.  He’s responsible for a great deal of the Klingon episodes and he co-wrote the first two TNG movies.  I find his podcasts entertaining and eductional.  He’s pretty honest about what works for a given episode and where they fail.  He’s good about avoiding spoilers, too, so you can listen to the podcasts each week and be sure that you’ll still enjoy the upcoming episodes.

You can download individual podcasts or subscribe to the iTunes feed at the official site.

Some guy likes to make realistically-rendered versions of cartoon characters.  Jessica Rabbit is a mutant, clearly.  Homer Simpson is a kindly freak who seems to know something.  Mario should be locked up before he becomes a danger to young children.

Is this the worst song ever? It could be. Let’s see- Accordion, oom-pah tuba, bagpipes, opera-rap, kids shouting. If there’s some kind of music you hate, it’s probably in there. It just keeps on going, annoying you for far too long. I dare you to listen to the whole thing.

Addendum: The Sparks tell Morrissey to “lighten up.”

Addendum 2!: The best cover of “Golden Years” ever.

Ever wonder what would happen if you answered one of those email scams? Wonder no more…

This is my favorite John Hodgman bit on the Daily Show.
