DontLink.com is an awesome site that highlights the most ridiculous corporate website "policy" that I've ever heard of: prohibiting hyperlinking to webpages. That's the whole point of the web! What's so wrong with just letting people link to them (which brings them visitors anyway - the whole point of having a website), and then just having a good 404 redirect setup to deal with outdated links. Why is that so hard? Some companies are so stupid.

Well, a few interesting things happened this past Labor Day weekend that I should mention. I watched William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" (the 1978 Thames stage production rereleased by HBO Home Video) that I checked out from the library, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was an all star cast! The role of Macbeth was played by Ian McKellen ("Magneto" in X-Men), and the play also starred Ian McDiarmid ("Senator Palpatine" from Star Wars, Episode I), and Bob Peck (the game warden from Jurassic Park). It was pretty cool to see a classic play with today's popular actors. Another movie that we watched was "Kate & Leopold" starring Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman (also an X-Men actor - he played "Wolverine"). This is a hilarious movie - I highly recommend it. We also finally watched "Kung Pow! Enter The Fist" (which was the goofy Chinese farce that we weren't able to view the first time we rented it), and "A.I. - Artificial intelligence". I'm sorry to anyone who actually enjoyed either one of these films, but I just couldn't. Also watched a couple more documentaries from the library, the History Channel's "The Aztec Empire", and "Where Jesus Walked - A Video Journey through Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jericho, Capernaum, and Jerusalem".

We spent a few minutes down at the Rib Cookoff (getting some excellent lemonade and, of course, wonderful ribs from Desparados and Carson City BBQ Company) on Saturday. Monday night we tried out the new Tamarack Junction restaurant - I had a Peach BBQ sandwich. Sounds gross, but very tasty.   =)
