A day-long, growing list of 12 productivity-busting web ditties:

If that Dilbert cartooning gig doesn’t work out, I think Scott Adams should run for office. He’d never win (and he explains why) but it would sure beat the depressing $40 million senatorial campaign we’ve experienced here in Tennessee. Sidenote: The study reported in Slate on which Scott bases some of the planks of his campaign platform gets the Freakonomics treatment from Steven D. Levitt who is a bit skeptical of the empirical result. Me too, but I’d still want to get an Adams bumper sticker.

Start-up acquisition article generator: Matt McAlister is one funny guy. He’s created a fill-in-the-blank news-story generator for articles with this headline: “[STARTUP] gets acquired by [BIGDOTCOM] for $[LOTSOFMONEY].”

Stop it, already: Man, I can’t stand it when people like these blogblox jokers come up with really cool, free, open source stuff I can add to my weblog. I’m tired of folks like them messing up my evenings by enticing me to play around with their clever ideas. Man, that really ticks me off. (via: Seth Godin.)

Another cool tool: This new Technorati “favelet” (a new word for me — referring to a bookmarked/favorites link that launches, well, something. They can also be called “bookmarklets”) gives you a means to highlight text on any page and launch a Technorati search of who may be blogging the topic (or, as “they” say, its “cosmos”).

When the baseball game is not going your way: Sometimes, you need to take a break from all that other stuff and read a thoughtful essay about diagramming sentences. (via Language Log)

Down elevator: Jeff Jarvis wants bloggers to elevate the pre-election discourse by discussing actual issues like healthcare and education. I plan to weigh in later with some healthcare comments, but this morning I only have time to spread goofy memes like the “horn guy” video (Windows Media Player).

Looking for adventure: One of the readers of this weblog says this article is about her hometown. That explains things. rexblog bumper music: Born to be Wild (Steppenwolf)

Blog soundtrack: Now that I can link to specific titles on the rexblog affiliate iTunes store, I’ll be adding “rexblog bumper music” to some of my posts. I’ve also started an archive of the bumper music called “you heard it on the rexblog.” Keep watching for more “fun with iTunes affiliate store” ideas. And remember, as soon as all seven people who visit this weblog will together (or individually) purchase 20 million tunes from the rexblog iTunes afilliate store, I will be able to make a million bucks from doing this.

iTunes affiliate program update: While I don’t plan on using the rexblog to keep the world informed on the progress of the iTunes affiliate program, I would like to pass along some information to assist those who may be searching the blogosphere for information about linking directly to a specific song or album or artist or audiobook that includes your iTunes affiliate tag. That feature will be available later this week, according to an e-mail from the iTunes affiliate team support folks at Apple (or linkshare?). At this point, an affiliate can point to the iTunes store and a few dozen specific text-ad (example: Choose from over 1 million tracks for only 99¢ a song at iTunes) and banner-ad related locations on the iTunes store. Again, this post is an off-topic public service as I couldn’t find any information on discussions or blogs when I went looking for it.

Olympics commercial note: Discovered this week, that with four sports-oriented teenagers doing non-stop commentary on fashion, performance and commercials, watching the Olympics is taken to a whole, new level. I am definitely in the minority, however, as I find the song in the Touareg commercial compelling (thanks to Google, I’ve discovered it’s

So here was my Saturday-morning challenge: Without plugging the AX into an existing sound system, find a $100 (or less) solution to get sound from an Airport Express bridged signal that will crack the plaster on the ceiling in the room below it. I can now report that the Altec Lansing VS4121 gets the job done. For $99 retail (but you can purchase it for less if you search), these speakers are enough for those who don’t sit around analyzing mid-range tonalities but just want something with chest-thumping bass and enough clarity to pick up the nuance of Chris Thile’s mandolin. Thumbs up from the rexblog. Oh, and the AX is great, but how un-Applelike is it to limit the streaming to iTunes and not DVDs? Anyone know of a work-around?
