Google News is Accurate

Kneel Before Zod!

Apparently Hillary Clinton is considering General Zod, the former leader of the planet Krypton's military, as her running mate.

It has to be true. Google News says so. I guess their satire filter isn't working today.

Here's the article. Campaign Website

So Anthony and the Internets have given me the best possible gift for my birthday this year. Maybe even better than the news of the new season of Venture Brothers.

The entire first (only) season Manhattan AZ is on Hulu! This means nothing to any of you fuckers out there because obviously no one watched it as it was cancelled after 8 episodes.

So go to Hulu, watch all 13 episodes. I promise LOLs will be had.

The greatest thing that could ever happen in my life has happened. That's right. There's a new season of Venture Brothers.

A preview aired at the New York Comic-Con, and now we the wonderfulness here to share with you. The new season premieres June 1st on adult swim.



Stupid Harware Problems

April 18th, 2008


If iTunes gives you the error "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly" when you plug in your iPhone, try this before spending an hour and a half on the phone with Apple.

Unplug everything that's plugged into your computer's USB ports. Especially look for mass storage devices. External hard drives, jump drives, etc.

In my case I had an old SanDisk Cruzer Micro, which I almost never use, plugged in. I think it was confusing iTunes for some reason. It would detect the iPhone, and then think the USB drive was the iPhone and couldn't read the identifying info from it. Or not, I mostly just made that up but it sounds good, right?

Anway, unplug your crap and try again. If that doesn't work for you then keep trying, and if you figure it out leave the solution in the comments.
