Anyone who finds this funny is a dork, but I laughed out loud. And sadly it really does do what it claims.

Motorola ROKR party report
I’m sitting in the Tampa airport waiting for my (delayed) flight to JFK. I’m going to attend a Motorola party, rumored to be the launch party for the first ROKR phones. For those of you that don’t follow mobile phones, this will be the first phone with iTunes built in. Look for it on Cingular.
Hopefully it will be cool.

Kanye West fundraiser video
Here is the video [11MB, MPEG] that was on NBC last night. Music star Kanye West decided to use his little amount of time on the program to spout about Iraq and how George Bush, “Doesn’t care about black people.” I’m sure that was news to Dr. Rice who by most estimates GW’s best friend. How selfish of West who should have helped the cause to raise money.
This video looks like a SNL skit (well SNL back when it was funny) and oddly enough even features former cast member Mike Myers. Kanye is an idiot and has never sounded more like one than in this clip.
My dad and brother are heading to the gulf coast tomorrow to meet some tractor trailers sent from my dad’s NGO in California. Food, water, diapers and no politics.
UPDATE: Kanye is a much bigger idiot than I was giving him credit for, here is a quote from him on the Ellen show today:
“A year ago I was on tour with USHER and we had a hurricane hit Florida and everybody was saying, ‘If this hurricane went to Louisiana, if it went to Mississippi, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.’ (That was) a year ago – and there was nothing done about it.”
Stunning statement there buddy. You’re right, no one knew that New Orleans was not equipped to handle a big storm until George Bush figured it out a year ago. Oh wait, it has been known since A. Baldwin Wood created the pump and levee system nearly 100 years ago. Why build a city on a fault line (*cough* LA)? Hindsight is 20/20.

Get past the phone loop and find a human. Handy, but lately the humans have little more than their AI counterparts.
