USDA bacteria testing system plagued by problems.

Speaking of photos I’d like to buy, here’s a bunch I’d pay money for.

Bars, clubs in Boston area may get ban on smoking.
I figure this will be bad for my health: I’ll drink more.

Today’s Netflix IPO went pretty well. Netflix just got a whole lot better for me because they opened up a location in Worcester, Massachusetts. I now have overnight shipping times to Netflix, I put two movies in the mail on Monday and had two new ones on Wednesday.

Germany gaurantees animal rights in constitution.

Missouri House OKs ban on barn photos.

CDC says doctors need to tell older adults to exercise.

[Warning: small Episode II spoiler] If anyone comes across a nice high-res capture of that shot from Send in the Clones with Boba Fett holding his dad’s head, let me know. I’d even buy a poster or print of it.

That reminds me, why isn’t there an online marketplace for digital imagery? I’m constantly seeing photos and artwork and shots from movies and thinking I would gladly pay for a nice high-res version of that, but it just isn’t available. Are these sites out there and I don’t know about them? As it is I don’t think I’ll have my Boba Fett wallpaper until the DVD comes out.

Well, I just got back from Send in the Clones and I’m quite happy. I’m pretty much in total agreement with CmdrTaco’s review, although I wouldn’t go so hard on the acting and for me it felt like a Star Wars film from the get go. The romance scenes were laughably bad (literally, the audience laughed through all of them) but other than that, Lucas seems to be back in form. I’m still going to refer to it as Send in the Clones, though.

By the way, here’s why I haven’t been posting: Baldur’s Gate II. Give me another week and I should be done, and I’ll have nothing to do until Neverwinter Nights comes out.

Teen vegetarians have healthier diet than peers.
Kind of obvious findings: vegetarians eat more vegetables, but it’s good to know somebody’s doing research like this.

Someday, just about everyone with web access will have a blog, this is good. My friend Matt just started a blog, go check it out.

AIDS activists embrace their new ally, Sen. Jesse Helms
“A deeply religious man, Helms credits his dramatic turnaround to the rock star Bono and to Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham. Helms has said Bono quoted scriptures to him and persuaded him that it was his Christian duty to help people with AIDS in Africa.”
