  Published: July 27, 2007, 11:49 am

  Tags: Wasting Your Time

  I can't quite come up with a good reason to see it, considering seeing movies in C-ville is usually a desultory experience. Our local chains, Regal and Carmike, typically play 10-20 minutes of advertisements before the trailers.

  Today's WSJ has a profoundly sad article about the real life of some Second Lifers. It's worth a read, especially the end of the article, where you find gems like this: Back in the world of Second Life, Mr. Hoogestraat's avatar and Tenaj have gotten bored at the beach, so they teleport to his office, a second-floor room with a large, tinted

  Some webmasters simply waste their time with creating an account at Google Adsense, placing ads on their sites and waiting for money to come. Why?

They think that once they start serving Google ads on their blogs or sites, they can do whatever it takes to earn money ( including clicking

Belief in this trio has caused the country's supreme court to intervene and fire the judge. ...Mr. Floro, 54 years old, has become a media celebrity. He is now wielding his

  Here's what I'm reading this morning. An Orangutan stole a womans pants in Malaysia. That's got to be embarrassing, but at the very least, you'd have a story to tell people for the rest of your life that is sure to entertain. Congress, having solved all other problems is looking into the language of hip-hop. Someone needs to find the youtube

For instance, if you happen to be in Atlanta and are hungry, the Journal will tell you exactly where you should sitting at Rathbun's, depending on whether you are an A, an A+, or A++.

  The Journal's Cynthia Crossen gives an overview of political battles surrounding billboard advertising today. An interesting read, in part because billboard advertising lobbyists have been pretty shameless in their political advocacy. I remember that when I lived in Georgia, they wanted to lop off the tops of trees so that billboards could be
