The other day I was musing to the wife about how ridiculous it would be to spend stupid money, just because I had stupid money to spend. I mean, if I was a billionaire, I said, I could not imagine spending $150,000 on a car, no matter how electric or cool it was. It is one of these truisms I've always held to. Lots of money would never overcome common sense.
And then I heard that Harrison Ford's gun from Blade Runner was up for auction. Here let me show it to you:
Harrison Ford's gun from Blade Runner
It was expected to fetch $150,000, and instead went for $270,000.
And yes, if I was a billionaire, I would probably buy this.
Neat how the iTunes music store lets you - This is fascinating. Guided selections for artists or genres in the iTunes Music Store. That is, they present you with (someone's opinion of) the basic songs for the artist or genre, next steps, and deep cuts. It's a little hard to find in iTunes, but if you click on any of the "iTunes Essentials" links, you get this interface. Quite frankly, awesome.

New and Improved [WordPress] Plugins Directory Search - I've been searching the WP plugins directory a lot lately, and I do appreciate this improvement, but that said, can we have some basic functionality, too? Maybe an indication of the sort order of the results? Is it by Author middle initial? Or, perhaps even the ability to sort the results ourselves, by, I don't know, popularity? Number of downloads? Name? WordPress version compatibility? Upload date? Anything? Let me put it this way, plugin search (and frankly, any search on WordPress.org), is so abysmally horrible that this one improvement hardly makes it worthwhile. Baby steps, I guess.

Kevin Smith Making Hockey Movie With Mitch Albom Based On Warren Zevon Song ‘Hit Somebody’ - Holy Crap. Best song (about hockey) ever. I don't really care for Kevin Smith, but it might just be his imagination I don't care for, so this movie stands a chance of being all kinds of awesome.
