Political Gut-Splitting — What SNL Does Best

I found it browsing Yahoo! today, and this made my day!  I head at least three people at work talking about this just after I saw it online.  “Saturday Night Live” doing what it does best!

Opening: A Nonpartisan message from Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton
OMG! How awesomely perfect is Tina Fey as Palin? Thank goodness they coaxed her back! She nails Palin’s mannerisms and accent. Poehler is amazing as Hillary; her timing is better than ever. My favorite line was Tina saying “I can see Russia from my house!” The skit is all about asking the public to respect them and stop calling them names like, “Attractive, beautiful, MILF,” (or for Hillary) “bon*r shrinker and flerg.” It’s brilliant and perfect given the current media obsession with attention given the former Mayor of “Alaska’s crystal meth capitol.” Watch it here (I’m leaving the messy NBC embed code — too bad it doesn’t work — will find the video on YouTube!):

  • A look at the future of the transistor from the Solid State Devices and Materials Conference (SSDM) October 30, 2009
    I’m writing this on the plane from Narita airport to Portland as I return from  giving the plenary talk at the Solid State Devices and Materials conference (SSDM), in Sendai Japan.  It is always exciting to visit these device conferences to see the myriad of new options that are being discussed for next generation transistors.   Before I get into the t […]

  • Day One - Web 2.0 Summit & Social Location in Day 2 October 21, 2009
    Fantastic first day and night in San Francisco for the 2009 Web 2.0 Summit. Intel sponsored last night’s reception in the courtyard at the Westin, right before Carly Fiorina almost declared that she was running for the California Senate. John Battelle tried to coax the answer out of her to no avail. Complete Video recap of Day One is here. Day 2 promis […]

  • The original 'rock stars' who defined innovation and integration October 20, 2009
    Today, a small team of engineers will be recognized at the Computer History Museum for designing the world’s first programmable microprocessor in 1971, a 4-bit parallel CPU with 2,300 transistors. That project, from a fledgling integrated memory manufacturer barely 3 years old, was a significant achievement that one can honestly say changed the world. […]

  • Documentary on Intel Xeon processor 'Nehalem Effect' is nonsense October 19, 2009
    I rarely write about topics with such vigour, but this latest video from a so-called documentary team is absolute and utter rubbish. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Intel Xeon 5500 processor can create the kind of data centre disruption witnessed in the documentary. In the spirit of openness, here is the video I am referring to: Here is the text tha […]

  • What's On Your Uber Holiday Gadget Gift List? November 20, 2009
    The day before consumer technology blog Ubergizmo unveiled their Uber10 list of gadget gift ideas for the holidays (KGO-TV’s Richard Hart report aired 11/15, embedded below), my seven-year-old son asked me what I wanted for Christmas. It was his savvy way to get me to help him brainstorm what will become his wish list for 2009. My son wants a Wii so he […]

  • Our old computer is getting slow... time for a new PC? November 20, 2009
    Yes… I believe the time has come to replaced ‘ye ol shared pc’ in the house. Our little DELL has been great! Other than a dead power supply during the first year (replaced under warranty) - it still runs ‘ok’ - I can hear the fans spinning in the other room. I have to remind myself that I bought this machine a little over 6 year […]
