Ummm. Okay, so there's this cow, right? And she does...well, aerobics. Or Tai-chi. And you can customize her workout. I think you need Flash.

Okay, here's another wacky one from The Smoking Gun: Inside Mariah Carey's Mailbox. Apparently, someone "found" a stack of fan letters to Mariah and sent them in to the Smoking Gun. Here's a scary sample:

"I'm very interested in what Nationality you are. I don't have a clue? I've heard that you were Mexican, Puetorican, and even Black. I think your part goddess, myself. I also like to know your birthdate, where you were born, your first time, etc."

It almost makes me feel sorry for Mariah, I mean, getting those crazy stalker fan letters, but...no, wait! But she has that movie coming out! Glitter! Or wait, did that already come out, and I missed it? And one of her songs is used in that Visa check card commerical, or something. Anyway, I'm sure she'll be okay. Unless she has another nervous breakdown.

Here's a story on Yahoo! about an application I designed called BeyondGuide. It's a tour guide that you call up over your cell phone, and when you tell it where you are, it gives you information about your location. Right now the New York version is free: 1-866-400-4867. (I'm not repsonsible for the content, mind you, just the application framework design.)

"Visit the Chrysler Building and hear about the Human Fly; listen to Mayor Giuliani's comments about the September 11 attacks while standing at Ground Zero; or stroll through Central Park and learn about its previous incarnation - BeyondGuide is the personal tour guide to New Yorkers and visitors who want to be entertained and informed as they move around the world's greatest city."

Ah, the media. Back in June, comedian Paula Poundstone was charged with child molestation. It was in all the headlines. In September, she was acquitted, but of course, you're never going to hear about that. The media just wants sensationalism, not truth. True, she's in trouble for drinking, and in rehab, along with everyone else in Hollywood--but the sex offender charges were dropped completely. But you bet everyone's going to remember just the charges..."Oh, Paula Poundstone...wasn't she a child molester?" Grrrrrr.
