- Last night while watching The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother (an awful movie) I noticed that Gene Wilder has completely fallen off the map.  Wilder is 77 years old, and apparently in very good condition.  Wilder hasn't done a movie since 1999:

- Dr. Demento will end his famous radio show after forty years.  I never listened to Dr. Demento, but I remember friends and relatives talking about his show:

- Last week I implored you to get a gmail account if you don't already have one.  Well, you may also want a hotmail account.  Microsoft has released a website version Office 2010.  Microsoft gives you 25 gigabytes of storage space and Office 2010 online, all for free.  All you need is a hotmail account (which naturally is free.)  A few years ago Google released their free office productivity suite, Google Docs.  I am curious to try both of them and see which one is more useful:
