Shatner circa 1967:
And if you are a glutton for punishment, there’s always this
.
But seriously now, I wouldn’t be such a Shatner fan if he wasn’t so cheesy. It’s all part of what makes Shatner Shatner. God bless him.

Smitty rocks himself to sleep with some exotic Metallica tribute bands.
I prefer the real Metallica
myself, although Beatallica has to be one of the coolest tribute bands ever.
Bonus media plug: Al Pacino-starrer …And Justice For All
, which rocks in its very own way (no Metallica included).

Josh Dickey: The Case of the Sweaty iPod: “A Manhattan Beach, Calif., man claims that his iPod shuffle is defective because while working out, his perspiration traveled down the earphone cord, shutting it down.” Now he’s filing a class action claiming breach of warranty, among other things.
The lawsuit seems stupid and frivolous at first glance. Unfortunately, it will take more than pointing that out to make the lawsuit go away.
I haven’t read the complaint, but I doubt the warranty claims will survive. That iPods meet the implied warranty of merchantability is probably out of the question (iPods are at least of average quality and fit for the ordinary purposes they are intended to serve). But I doubt Apple has ever made any express warranties about iPods being sweat-resistant, for one. The implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is also – arguably – inapplicable (would Apple know or have reason to know that the buyer would sweat into his iPod?).
Finally, class actions require numerosity, which is to say there has to be such a large number of plaintiffs as to make a joinder of all their claims impracticable. So this dude and his attorney need to find a lot of sweaty iPod owners to get class action certification.
Class actions are big moneymakers for the plaintiffs’bar. So I’d sign up for a couple of yoga classes. Lots of sweaty folks there.

So I was able to catch Van Halen’s video for (Oh) Pretty Woman last night, for the first time ever (on VH1-Classic).
I liked it! Almost two minutes of pure cinema, plus a few seconds of the Samurai and Western genres. Not to mention the Godzilla-style opening logo. They were post-modern before post-modern was cool!
