Friday B-Movie Pick
A Chuck Norris classic from 1979. Bill “Superfoot” Wallace also has a big presence in this film. For the star power, Jennifer O’Neill does quite nicely. Eric Laneuville plays Norris’ adopted son, in his second martial arts film (the first was 1974′s Black Belt Jones), and later appeared in “St. Elsewhere.”
Good Internet Talk Radio
I’m listening to Planet Kruiser on Radio for Conservatives.
Weekdays at 2PM Eastern. Kruiser is a stand up comic and does a good political rant for an hour, five days a week.
Skype for the iPhone?
The latest rumors are for an announcement next week.
Fujitsu enters the e-reader market
Before you get too excited, it won’t be released until next month, it’s only available in Japan, and it has a $1,000 price tag.
The FLEPia will however have a color screen with touch capabilities. Old School Palm OS stylus touch control though.
The display uses a variant of LCD tech that doesn’t use a backlight. The backlight is the power hog that has kept it from being used in a ebook reader yet.
I wouldn’t call this a threat to the Amazon Kindle or the Sony EBook reader, but it shows the market is opening up.

Marion Barry – Back in the News
Former democrat D.C. Mayor, and former crackhead, Marion Barry has joined the ranks of many prominent democrats.
He is, like our Dear Leader’s Secretary of the Treasury, a tax cheat.
According to the Washington Post, Barry “owes the federal government more than $277,000 in back taxes and skipped at least six months of recent payments on taxes owed to the D.C. government, according to federal authorities.”
