Wikipedia has gotten so big that I stumbled across not one, but two parody sites yesterday, the Uncyclopedia, and Sickipedia. This, on the heels of The Onion’s wonderful article on how Wikipedia is Celebrating 750 Years of American Independence. The whole time I was putting this together, that song was going through my head.

You might have read about this on BoingBoing...Former VA Governor and potential Democratic Presidential candidate Mark Warner made an appearance in (on, at?) Second Life last week. He was interviewed by an SL personality named Hamlet Au, but saved most of the audience questions for an upcoming SL town hall meeting. You can read the transcipt here.

Will other Presidential hopefuls follow, or was it a one-time gimmick? Have to wait and see. But while you're reading, check out the Ted Stevens Internet dude in the audience. You won't find that on Meet the Press.

Fanfarazzi is a celebrity fantasy league. Points for arrests, plastic surgery, insulting jews...you get the idea. No idea if it'll take off. Based on my track record, it will.

On October 5th, 6th and 7th, middle-aged men from across the galaxy will climb out of their parents basements and descend upon Rockefeller Plaza. Their biggest concern, do I blow the entire loan on a Vulcan ceremonial jacket or Data's Friar Tuck robe? Yup, Christies is holding a Star Trek Auction

In bloggerville, this is what we refer to as...an opportunity.

- Via RocketBoom, this made me smile. Especially the part in the street where the crowd gives money.
- Apologies to those on this blog that know about this already, but I just found out about MashUpTown.
- The band just went off stage and I can't find my lighter. Oh, wait a second, I just downloaded iScorch.
- Pee Wee Herman kicks from Nike...wonder if they're stain-resistant? (You knew that was coming.)
- And based on everything I've read and seen, the VMA's sucked, but then I saw OkGo's performance.

In Wildlife, artist Karolina Sobecka uses the city itself as her medium. At night projections from moving cars (driven by the San Jose Tiger Posse) are shone on the buildings downtown. Each car projects a video of a wild animal. The animal’s movements are programmed to correspond to the speed of the car: as the car moves, the animal runs along it speeding up and slowing down with the car, as the car stops, the animal stops also.
