Lost Gems and LEDs

You know you what really sucks?



Think about it...



Ok, you got it?



No, that's not it.

Today i am talking about things disappearing of the internet. I recently learned that in 1996 Cartoon Network commissioned a pilot for Plastic Man. I tried to track it down to no avail. I found several pages containing links to this elusive pilot but every link was broken. Now if this was the only thing to ever disappear from Al Gore's baby, it'd be no big deal. But many of the best things on the internet are disappearing.

It's been a few years since i was able to track down ESPN's coverage of the 1999 Magic world championship. As an example of American sarcasm, this essay was one of the best, but now it is lost; slipped into the æther between the ethernets.

I will make a stand against this lose of our collective electronic history. I have already started by saving things i like, but we all need to step up our efforts. I call upon someone to download, print, and bind 8-bit theater. (Kris, i am looking at you.) Someone needs to be archiving photos of Lindsay Lohan's boobs before disappear forever, like her career seems to be doing.


Now on to something different.

How cool is this?



That's right. It is a shower head with built-in LED lights. Each color corresponds to a different temperature range.

I am sure many of you now have a hole in you lives because your shower head does not have LEDs. I am considering getting this. The aesthetics of this thing are great and who wouldn't want the piece of mind that come from color coded temperature? And best of all, my preferred temperature range is blue.

Erin says it is a needless frivolity and that blue LEDs suck. Ok, maybe this isn't a direct quote. I am paraphrasing, but you get the point; she doesn't like it too much.

So, should i get it or not? I await your response, my faithful readers. Make your opinion count in a way that it didn't in November. Let your voice be heard. Tell Erin that we need this invention.


Later
