Mark Frauenfelder has a capsule review of the new Nintendo Wii up at Boing Boing. Sounds like a cool concept done well.

Anybody reading this planning to get a Wii?

How about a Playstation 3, with its freaky-ass toy baby commercial?

In typical Family Guy fashion, it doesn’t end well.

Time to cleanse the palate.

Here’s They Might Be Giants on a Carson-era Tonight Show performance — guest host Jay Leno is holding up a copy of Flood. (This leads me to believe the clip is from Tuesday, April 3, 1990.)

It’s a great rendition of “Birdhouse in your Soul,” with some kick-ass horn accompaniment from Doc Severinsen and the NBC Orchestra.

This is awesome: Chris just sent me a link to a vid that recuts Office Space and turns it into a slasher flick!

Watch it at YouTube.

Olbermann is, again, in top form.

Just watch.
