Eras Links of the Day

I read somewhere that a good blog should be comprised mostly of links to other content. Since I am not much of a generator of orginial content, it seems like a good idea. So for a few weeks I am going to try and list a bunch of links of interest. Not so much sites, but articles on sites that I happened to find interesting enough to read in full so by that logic, worth posting about.

Gizmondo CES Joke - Apparently a Gizmondo reporter at CES played a joke on Motorola where they used a universal clicker to cut off their TV screens during a presentation. The reporter has been banned and the link is the sites response to the blogosphere's response (mostly negative) to the joke.

Best of CES 2008 - The best item in each category of tech at CES. I used to post about the neat stuff at CES but this year its just the same stuff (mostly TVs) that have been improved (and cost more).

Rachel Bilson - Not nude pics, just her looking hot.

Amy Adams and Hooters - Apparently Amy Adams, the redheaded hotness that Hollywood just recently discovered (but I remember from a West Wing ep) apparently did a stint at Hooters.

Interview with Todd Holland - He directed "The Wizard" that Fred Savage movie from the 80s. I remember it from my childhood as being awesome (so probably need to watch again to correct that belief).

Underworld 4 in Development - Even though Underworld 3 isn't done, apparently a 4th movie is also being prepped with Kate Beckinsale. The Hollywood response to her still amazes me. She has been around for more then a decade before "discovered" via Underworld and other movies for her absolute gorgeousness and as far as I can tell, the ONLY difference between her pre and post fame days is hair length. She is exactly the same except she let her hair grow long. In her pre-days she went with a rather unflattering tom boy look.

Julie Benz On Dexter and Punisher 2 - Julie Benz has gone brunette for Punisher 2 and has never looked better. Geeks might remember her from Buffy and Angel days.

Bush and Iranophobia - Apparently Iran is getting a little sick of President Bush's rhetoric on Iran. I am too actually. Even if Iran was a proven clear and present danger to the United States (its not), thanks to his idiocy we have neither the money (current war sponsored by China loans) nor the man power to actually do anything about it. Only a complete retard would even dream of opening a third war front and apparently that retard goes by the name of George Bush.

Terminator Ratings Success - The first episode of Terminator apparently did gung ho ratings business for Fox, with 18.3 million viewers. That will probably land it in the #1 or 2 spot for the week in viewers. I watched the show, not bad at all actually. Lots of entertainment value. The only problem I see is how long can they fight and continually beat the evil terminators before the villians become a joke of a threat.

McCain, Clinton Lead in Polls - While a certain segment might vote on the issues, party lines, or simply some character trait (his smile, looks, etc), some vote based on that person being a "winner" as no one likes to vote on a loser. As McCain's growing popularity is showing, based on a tiny election in a tiny state, suddenly he is the front runner for the Presidency. And all because he currently looks like a "winner". Its pretty pathetic actually.

Amber MacAruthur - If your a geek, you might be familiar with her. I have a bit of a crush on this geek goddess and podcaster. She was blond but returned to her natural brunette color after leaving her job at a canadian TV station.
