I still haven't gotten into it, despite being a huge sci-fi geek and hearing good things. But knowing it's 100 episodes, and uneven at that... it may be a while.

I'll keep an eye out for one to poke at, but am already locked into Kindle purchases plus don't have much faith in the longevity of Barns and Noble...

The Note does seem pretty cool. Odd that a stylus is again a selling point. My last 3 MS phones had them...

Supposedly some companies/interviewers ask you to login to facebook so they can see even your non-public stuff, it's against Facebook's terms of service and some lawmakers even made a little noise. For me it would just help me to know that's not an employer I'd wish to have. And I'm not even on Facebook! But yeah, common sense and nothing wrong with having a separate identity for your more questionable activities. Problem is many of the social networks want you to prove your identity...

I skipped the Fire because the screen is the same backlit LCD I already have many of, combined with not much horsepower for doing stuff like watching videos (especially stuff not bought through Amazon...). Kindle Fire is just an even more locked down plus underpowered version of everything my Android cell phone can already do. But having an e-ink Kindle for reading books is great.

I like my old-school Kindle because of the e-ink screen. If I want to look at something on a fatiguing backlit LCD I'll use my laptop or dust off the netbook I play with every 6 months or so. Or my cell phone... so yeah, also not seeing the need for a tablet.

I signed up for google's drive, and was tempted by Microsoft's SkyDrive as I started to play with Win8 the last couple of weeks, but really Dropbox gives me the space I need, is available on everything, and I already have my stuff on it. I trust Google (or Microsoft) with my email, from personal to work to naughty, so why wouldn't I trust them to apply the same standards to files I keep in a repository instead of emailing to myself or others?

Pointing out hypocrisy from Newt Gingrich is like pointing out drops of water in the sea...

I love AB and don't generally like Flay, never heard of Giada.

But then again, if you take all those posts out of general and move all the political to that forum, what's left?

Log Cabin Republicans Hold Fundraiser for Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu as Campaign Contributions Dry Up Buzzfeed has obtained an invitation for a Log Cabin D.C. Fundraiser for Pinal County, Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu hosted by gay former Arizona congressman Jim Kolbe this Tuesday. Says the invite: "Simply by being who we are – unapologetically pro-gay and unapologetically conservative - Log Cabin Republicans like Sheriff Babeu are helping to secure the freedoms America stands for, and that’s something we can all be proud of." Meanwhile, the Phoenix New Times reports that donations to Babeu's congressional campaign have collapsed since allegations broke in February that Babeu had threatened a former boyfriend with deportation if he revealed they had a romantic relationship. Contributions to congressional hopeful Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu barely trickled in during March, with the once-popular lawman pocketing a mere $6,700 in the wake of multiple scandals that have enveloped him, his agency and his campaign. By comparison, Congressman Paul Gosar, who is also running for a seat in Arizona's Fourth Congressional District, raised $80,000 that same month. News reports since that time also revealed that Babeu ran The DeSisto School, a Massachusetts boarding school with a history of physical and sexual abuse, such as forcing students to wear sheets, sit facing walls for hours, undergo strip searches and take group showers. Babeu's sister also claimed that she discovered Babeu dating a 17-year-old DeSisto student. In interviews shortly after the scandal broke, Babeu indicated that he had been in contact with leadership at the Log Cabin Republicans. When asked if he might get involved with LCR by CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Babeu replied, "I'm sure". Read more: http://www.towleroad...l#ixzz1swR6RsvW

Hottie's only shirtless for a second or two, didn't even notice the first time through, all in all a painfully straight commercial... but so much potential!

It'd be fun to see with a group of gay guys. The usual audience, not so much! --hey, EXACTLY like seeing male strippers in real life! Would be a far more interesting story if his love interest was another man, or if he has to be straight, worked the gay clubs...

There is plenty of data that alcohol in moderation, especially red wine are either not bad or actually good for you. But it has to come down to you. Will the drinks lower your inhibitions and make you crave other things? I almost always regret having anything to eat (after dinner) in the evenings, because even if it's healthy it gets me started and I tend to eat a lot more than I need to. So for my difficulties with food a glass of wine and a cigar can be a helpful distraction! But on the other hand a couple drinks can have me rooting through the fridge for snacks...

Very nice, and good points, though it'd also be cool for somebody to re-jigger this map to also show all the "one step backward" this administration has made on LGBT issues! Still, we have a lot less to complain or be disappointed about than most other constituents!

I don't watch the show, not sure how I feel about non-trans playing trans... but the wheelchair thing (and the "blind" guy--though a hot actor--in another show) annoy me. Sexuality is a spectrum so having somebody play something a little futher than themselves one way or the other, no big deal. But a paraplegic actor CAN NOT play a non-parapalegic part, same with a blind actor, or most deaf actresses... yet only the deaf community seems to stand up for themselves and insist on self-portrayal. They forced the recasting of the deaf girl on sadly canceled Jericho, to my understanding, and I fucking love Marlee Matlin (though I wish she hadn't gone near Trump). Why don't other groups?

I see no point in posting a review on the other site, more than once by the time it finally goes up (more than a month after submission) the escort I reviewed has left the business! Then there's the politics and favoritism over there, I never dug too deep into it but even to the casual onlooker it's fairly obvious. So I appreciate the reviews here, wish there were more, but on the other hand, I skip 14 out of 15 reviews on the other site whereas here a new review is noteworthy and usually better quality...

Don't South Koreans have more to worry about than Lady Gaga?

First several times I saw this headline I read it as Ellen comes out as gay... and thought it was a little late for that...

Here's the story: Disney’s Rich Ross, First Gay Studio Head, Resigns After John Carter Bombs

Yep, and I just saw a story that he was the first openly gay studio head. Also, it was his predecessor who greenlit Carter. Which was a good movie, god damn it!

Once you master the technique you should go to this party! --Might just be the editing, but I see more personality in Hawking in that video than I have before.

It's sad, but we seem to be an inherently superficial bunch. Any visit to WeHo makes that pretty clear!

Yep, that's why I prefer when Jon Stewart does it on The Daily Show, it's more accessible to the masses than when O'Donnell or Maddow do it--even though they may do it better.
