BrainLog feature: Ode to a Disc Gun.

The proverbial "shout out" to all the Seattle bloggers at our semi-spontaneous get-together. Clockwise: Jessamyn, Eric, Rebecca, Jesse, Nina, Julia, Clark, me, Lisa, Jim, and Anita. Anita has pictures from the get-together. We will do this again.

Play the hangman game on the movie website for Final Destination, and learn one of life's lessons.

Now that we're starting to see more detailed trailers for the new Garry Shandling comedy, I can't help but reneg on the off-the-cuff remark I made earlier (about it seeming stupid). I' m actually kinda looking forward to it now. They've got a new web site, including a sweepstakes, and that other site no w has a link to a trailer.

Unitic has an Aibo sweepstakes.

Play Reel.com's daily movie trivia and get $0.50 (at Reel.com) for every question you get right. They only let you claim in $10 intervals, so that's visiting daily for 20 days to get a $10 coupon. But still.

Even easier: BigStar.com has a bunch of $10 off coupons floating around, including one you get for opening yet another free email account at Mail.com. (You don't have to enter any factual info to open the account or get the coupon.) BigStar's selection is only OK, but I've already had positive ordering experiences and a very positive customer service experience.
