An inside look at the new "Star Wars" episode.
After seeing a rough cut of the film and reading the script, we can say that Clones seems poised to get the series back on track—and provide an exhilarating two hours of serious fun. It should easily ace the last movie in chills (when two icky centipedal creatures called "kouhuns" crawl into the sleeping Padme's bed) and thrills (when Anakin and Obi-Wan drag-race the changeling Zam Wessel across Coruscant's wonderfully varied urban nightscape).
Sam Adams New Beer Taste Test.
I just tried a new test beer at Doyles Cafe in Jamaica Plain! It's called Three Weiss Men and it's a Belgian Style Wheat Beer. I asked the bartender about it and he told me that they brewed it in Jamaica Plain at the local Sam Adams brewery and brought it into the pub for people to try. It's a good beer for a hot day.

The bartender also said that he could tell by looking at us, that my wife and I don't fight. He said we look like pretty laid back people. I punched him in the mouth for saying that! Just kidding, he was right, we never fight.

Star Trek: Nemesis.
Nemesis is going to follow the normal Star Trek movie mold by having an important sub-plot involving Spock/Data. Of course, since Brent Spiner helped write the story, it's not surprising that Data is getting a major storyline here. What is surprising is that it's a play upon the popular Data/Lore arc from the television series. Data will again discover a brother he didn't know he had. The difference this time is that his new sibling, B9, is the Forrest Gump of androids. He's gentle and sweet by nature (B9 is going to run away with the title of Corniest Character Name of 2002) but dumb as a stick, so Data feels compelled to nurture his less-fortunate brother.

Close your eyes, you're in your ca -- no, don't close your eyes in the car, but right now, think about it. You're in your car, you're driving, and then all of a sudden, from the back seat, I just pop up and go, "HEY!" You'd just whack me in the head, wouldn't you? That would be -- that wouldn't be nice, but then it wouldn't be nice for me to do that to you. How'd I get in your car, anyway? Can you -- did you lock the car? Maybe it was your fault. Maybe I'm just teaching you a lesson. But the point is, to see me here, as the spokesperson for the Universe of Energy, I mean that's crazy.

It works!

I use the iRock 300W with my iPod. It makes a super combination.

iTunes, iPod, iRock together... make listening to my CD collection a joy. Now that I've ripped 2 GB of music onto my iPod, I've been listening to a lot less radio.

The playlist feature in iTunes allows me to group tracks and/or artists any way I want to. I have this one playlist that I'm really hooked on:
Jennifer Warnes, Mono, Squeeze, Aerosmith, Boston, Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Imogen Heap, Inner Circle, B-52's, The Knack, Lenny Kravitz, Jethro Tull, 10,000 Maniacs, Steely Dan, the Evinrudes, U2, UB40, Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger.
I dare any Boston radio station to play that mix on their station!

It will never happen.

In today's radio market, the stations are so segmented, that you'd have to combine seven stations to hear each of these types of music.

Hello radio, we are smarter than you think. We enjoy listening to a mix of new wave, classic rock, current hits, and new stuff.

I'll be listening to my iPod and turn you on for the traffic and weather.

The wealthiest 1 percent — those earning $293,415 and up — paid more than a third of the taxes, while their share of the nation's taxable income was 19 percent. They pay income taxes at the top rate, now 38.6 percent, compared with a maximum rate of 15 percent for most lower-earning taxpayers.
A Flat Tax would seem to be fairer.
