Isn't math a wonderful thing? See the Naked Geometry video after the jump.

All is right in the world. Britney Spears started her comeback tour at the San Diego House of Blues last night. At a marathon-like 16 minutes, I'm amazed her heart didn't explode half-way through the set.

It took my seven year old son three games to do it, but he finally got his first hit in Little League, and luckily, I had my camphone on hand. Nice one, Sam.

Public Meltdowns: People losing it in a public way, today on the veg.

Back in the day before videotape, I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey several times at the theater (when movies were re-released every two years). I was young, but I wanted to "get it." I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one totally confused. Not that this version will help you "get it," but there are some laughs involved. And its only five minutes and change.

Did everyone happen to catch what happened on Digg yesterday? Short synopsis:

1. User posts code that can crack encryption on new HD-DVDs
2. Post is deleted by moderators in response to a cease-and-desist letter by MPAA
3. Another user posts code in protest at moderation which he sees as Digg seemingly giving in to "the man"
4. Post is deleted by moderators
5. All hell breaks loose

Digg users are traditionally anti-DRM as it is, but coupled with some adsense ads that seemed to suggest Digg was sponsored by the copyright lobby - well, it's no wonder that for 24 hours every single story on the home page contained the code in question.

The most interesting part of this for me is not that Digg kind of self destructed for 24 hrs as the community rose up in protest, but that Kevin Rose ended the day by posting the code himself and basically saying "what the hell, if we go down, we go down in flames". And this morning, the whole controversy seems to have subsided somewhat. Whether or not Digg gets sued for not complying with the cease-and-desist, It's a superb piece of crisis management by the founder - realizing that if your product is based on open conversation, trying to control that conversation is a death knell. Lots of lessons to be learned here.

Last week, American Idol gave back a second chance to one singer - but tempered it by eliminating 2 of them this week. With Bon Jovi performing and with the theme being rock, we'll soon find out who gives singing a bad name and who may be living on a prayer.
