Ok, I ran out of time tonight because I was goofing around with XBox Media Center.
But I can get some of these links out of the way.
First off, there was a really bizarre story in the Akron Beacon Journal this morning, about how an Akron City Council member turned over a meeting to some crazy guy from Stow that's claiming he can offer generators for people to put into their homes, "which purportedly harnesses the energy of permanent magnets to produce more electricity than it uses." I could go on and on about this, but believe me, you really just need to read the article. I thought that I would never read an article as strange as the Stow Sentry's "Horse Death at the Fourth of July Parade" ever again, but apparently I was wrong. Another excerpt:
"But Gissendaner is not selling the generators; he's selling the DVD ($19.95 plus $7 shipping and handling) that explains the technology.
Those who buy the DVD will be among 1.6 million "witnesses'' invited to football fields across the country (and in 10 provinces in Canada) on July 10, 2007, for the unveiling.
After that, they will be entitled to free electricity for life by allowing a generator to be installed in their homes.
International Tesla Electric Co. actually will own the generators and sell the excess energy back to utilities, Gissendaner said."
I don't know what's worse - that there are people out there selling nonsense like this, or that a government official would be so stupid as to actually give the person time to make their sales pitch. Not that I'm that surprised I guess.
Gee, I wonder if the real business is selling $20 DVDs to idiots.
And on a much cooler note, the Legend of Zelda Medley in String Quartet Form:
