It's funny to me that Wired runs an article today on how great tinyurl.com is, but I don't think it's as good as "snurl" (snipurl.com) as far as usability is concerned. Many people know that there are a few of these sites around (tinyurl.com, makeashorterlink.com, snipurl.com, etc.), but I've yet to see a comparison between them all.

I find it hilarious that the astronomy community doesn't know what a "planet" is (re: Sedna). Pretty sad, really. Apparently, many astronomers don't even consider Pluto to be a planet. It's also funny to me that NASA would name one of their doomed Mars landers "Beagle", since the public already identifies that moniker with one of the viruses wreaking havoc on the Internet.

I also found the whole "dihydrogen monoxide" (H₂O) threat to be hilarious. I am excited that the new Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie will be out on June 4th. I also found it funny last week that for about a week everyone was touting the new 300 GB hard drive, and then what seemed like just a few days later, all of a sudden there was a 400 GB hard drive (.4 terabytes). And now, there is a 500 GB drive available (half a terabyte). At this rate, we'll be seeing some 1 TB drives by August.

Today started out great as the first song I heard on the radio was Duran Duran's "Rio", followed by a remake of Talk Talk's "It's My Life" by No Doubt. Great stuff. Found the "Potatos Penny Cache" today.
