The interenet is changing the way election campains in the States are run. Of course if you are a miserable failure then you probably want to stay as far away from that thar interweb as possible.

All I Want for Christmas is a New Cell Phone
Quite possibly the coolest cell phone yet. Actually I don’t know how it compares to other phones but it looks pretty cool to me.

David Cronenberg on Alias
Via Amy’s Robot Blog:
David Cronenberg was on Alias last night, playing a neuroscientist with an experimental method for recovering lost memories through the use of drugs and lucid dreaming. The episode itself is almost an homage to Cronenberg’s ideas and visual style…as Sidney undergoes DC’s process, the show turns into one of the more visually and conceptually cinematic bits of TV I’ve seen in a while, full of Cronenberg’s illogical logic, layered realities, and of course the requisite bit of Cronenberg’s nonsensical corniness. In any case, before the experiment gets started, DC’s character offers a nice little monologue about simulation, postmodernism, lucid dreaming, and fake bacon. Because [Amy is] nice people, [she] offers you this:

New Mimail Worm Targets Anti-Spam Sites Update
Apparently the MiMail Worm is also targeting Disney Sites. Now I REALLY hope that guy falls off a cliff… or gets hit by a bus…. or gets hit by a bus at the bottom of a cliff … or maybe a really fast train. Whichever.
Japanese Train Sets A Speed Record Of 581 kph
Via Slashdot:
Last night a high-speed magnetically levitated Japanese train set a new record of 581 kph, topping its own record set just last month. The new Maglev high speed had real passengers on board this time. They proved that the distance between Osaka and Tokyo can be covered in one hour’s time. However, we wouldn’t see real trains for a while now since the cost is prohibitively expensive at this time. They expect that the cost would come down over the next 20 years. This seems to be the future of transportation, at least in Japan. Here is a detailed article from The Japan Times.
