If you've got about 30 minutes to dedicate to the history of pop culture, rock and roll, and -- as it turns out -- nerddom, you should check out Part 1 and Part 2 (YouTube) of an interview with KISS. Tom Snyder got Gene to say "Klaatu barada nikto" and Ace to talk about his RC helicopter....both of those things seem pretty nerdy to me for a rock band.

As I mentioned before, Google's got a code review tool. Looks like it is hitting the streets as Google Code Review. Somebody check it out and tell me if it rules or drools.

Exercising while playing computer may work at 1mph, but it's not so easy on other exercise machines. Desktop Tower Defense on an elliptical machine works pretty well, though.
