Today's Mighty Oak

To those who say we can’t do it…



Quick update for everyone.  First off, it appears as though Dollhouse is doing well, though not necessarily in its time slot (surprise, surprise!).  It’s doing really well on iTunes.  I don’t know if you have to pay for it there, but I think it’s also doing fairly well on Hulu as well (turning your brain to cottage cheese, thank you Alec Baldwin).

Looking to buy a house, check out this link first. And of course, Lifehacker is also reporting about 20-somethings and their lack of insurance, and how they cope.  Thankfully I have insurance now, it may not be great, and my doctor may not accept it, but it’s something, right?

If you haven’t logged onto Facebook, you’re not only missing “25 things” but more importantly, the rise of the corporate overlords!  That’s right, FB changed their terms of service, with barely a whisper about it, saying that all the content belonged to them forever, even if you delete it.  Then when the shit storm broke, thanks to one of my favorite sites (ex-gawker media owned) Consumerist, they quickly changed their tune, insisting that they never said they owned what you uploaded or would profit from it.  Now the terms of service are back to what they once were while FB licks their wounds.  Will I close my account?  No, am I more skeptical about it, of course.  Want some tips on how to protect your privacy on FB, check it out here.

KDKA reported about it today at lunch, and Lifehacker covered it yesterday.  Cell phone companies are doing something right for once.  All phones will now have the same charger, mini-USB.  My phone, the Chocolate 3, uses it, and it’s great.  Look for that I think by 2012.

Otherwise, I’m just trying to keep up with everything, TV shows included.  Lost tonight, I’m racing through a bunch of books trying to finish them before I start my book for the March book club meeting.  In the meantime, here’s the latest news coming out of metblogs:

That’s right, they got 3 Flip Minos.  They’ll be sending them around to help video tape events whenever a city needs them.  We’ll see how that goes!

And, for fun, here’s an awesome video that combines Queen (and Shawn of the Dead) and Super Mario Galaxy:
