During normal lapses of insanity…


“The Wanted” AWESOME!!!

I don’t think I’ve watched a documentary this good in a long time.

You’ve got 4 ex-militaries turned journalists traveling around the world in search of some really heavy hitters on the Most Wanted lists all over the globe.

From the sentence above you’d think we’re talking about a glamorous anti-terrorist unit like 24 with scenarios that only border on plausible…not even close.

It’s the real deal. In the first episode these guys have earned the worth of the whole series, enabling the extradition of a very well-known terrorist thats on the most wanted lists all of the globe, but was getting asylum from Norway under a legal loophole.

In the episode itself the Norwegian authorities state clearly that the news team frmo America was able to do what the Ministry of Migration has dragged its feet on for OVER 6 YEARS.

Cheers guys…this series is a keeper so long as they don’t glam it up. Since these guys arent actors I am pretty sure sooner or later we’re going to get to see someone let loose. One of the guys during the interview was having the hardest time sitting down while having to listen to Krakar…can’t say I blame him.

Totally recommending this show. NBC on Monday nights πŸ™‚

Amazon/Kindle shows some DRM muscle.

eBooks are non-property?

Suits me just fine, but for everyone using Kindle I think it would be a bit irritating.

Here’s another scenario…the person owns a Kindle because they are blind. Kindle is one of the few methods by which the blind can purchase reading material for a reasonable price (reasonable meaning not $40 a book).

I mean, are publishers trying to move into the same electronic media stance as the recording industry?

If so, you’re quite likely to waste a lot of money and not recover anywhere near what you spent…just an fyi, check with the recording companies πŸ˜‰

Anyhow here’s linkange…I am off to work..cheers!

iPhone ads from @WhoIsTheBaldGuy

…actually I don’t know, but I like his ad ideas. He sent me a tweet to check this one out. He can be followed on Twitter HERE and he’s also got a BLOG

Like I said…I am far more partial to ad’s touching the best in human nature. I love genuine humor…but the kind of stuff that makes Tony warm and fuzy is the stuff that will do everyone some good to see at least once. πŸ˜‰
