Best… hack… ever. Hackers tapped into the wireless frequency at a Burger King and insulted customers at the drive thru.
Scorcese on Rudolph
Have a lovely holiday season! I’ll return on New Year’s day with a whole new year of fun. Until then, enjoy a faux-Martin Scorcese version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Cab Elvis
Cab drivers in Seattle are now allowed to wear costumes of prominent public figures, thanks in help from “Cab Elvis”, a cab driver who started dressing up like Elvis to cheer riders us shortly after 9-11.
Santorum!
Finally, a site dedicated to santorum (note the lack of capitalization, intended).
Chopstix, the dueling piano bar.
Here’s a better alternative to flower delivery: Organic Bouquet.com, delivering organic flowers to your door, and keeping small growers in business.
Turkey and Gravy soda
Fun with Mr. Picassohead, a nice twist on an old game. Seattle’s own Jones soda makes headlines as it sells out of Turkey and Gravy Soda as a Thanksgiving promotion, now selling for as much as $99 a 4-pack on ebay.
A safe environmental online shopping catalog can be found at GreenHome.com. A limited selection of clothing, though. Why isn’t anyone making organic italian suits?
A Thanksgiving of convenience

Dennis Kucinich has links to all of the Diebold electronic voting machine memos causing concern that elections will now be less secure than ever. Of course, it doesn’t help that the president of Diebold said he is “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.”
The many faces of Michael Jackson, and a new animated film “The Triplets of Belleville“.
Naked Sushi, polka, bowling and kielbasa
Bonzai, a restaurant in Seattle’s Pioneer Square, is now serving naked sushi, where nigiri and sashimi are placed on top of a naked woman covered in only flower petals and a sheet of plastic wrap… passionate arguments from both sides of this sales pitch.
Dennis Kucinich’s website has a link devoted exclusively to polka, bowling and kielbasa.
Zed
The CBC’s best show, Zed, is back on the air. Check out the site, and if you’re lucky enough to get CBC, watch it weeknights at 11:30pm PST.
Appoint this!
Two months in Berkeley haven’t been disappointing. Why, just across the Bay, acting-mayor-for-a-day Chris Daly appointed two people to prominent positions at the Public Utilities Commission while Mayor Willie Brown was out of town. Brown said Daly acted like a stalker, but Daly’s appointments, including a former Sierra Club president, are probably better than what a-little-too-pro business Brown would have opted for.
