News of the Day

+ The trailer is out for Tina Fey's upcoming movie, "Baby Mama." It looks cute.



+ A few days ago, Yahoo News ran a story on a Texas town where residents have said they've been seeing UFOs overhead. In and of itself, this isn't all that funny or noteworthy. What's funny is the video of the story and the fact that one of the townspeople thought about actually shooting the UFO. You gotta love America.

+ And good news for those of us who kick ass at Wii Tennis! ESPN soon will begin broadcasting competitive gaming. I think we gamers owe a debt of gratitude to the poker players who paved the way for "sports" that can be played while sitting down and drinking.

+ And finally a bit of sad news. The toymaker who popularized the Hula Hoop and the Frisbee died this past Monday. So while I could never spin a Hula Hoop more than 12 seconds and consistently threw my Frisbee like, well, a girl, I tip my proverbial hat to Mr. Richard Knerr for making some really fun toys that actually required imagination and skill. Those were the days....

+ ETA: USA Today has a story this morning on the upcoming X-Files movie. There's a picture and everything! Mulder and Scully, I miss you so.
