Ever thought that Take That were too old to still be called a Boyband? Do you think the Rolling Stones should retire? Well if you answered Yes to both of these questions then you are gonna LOVE this...welcome to the wonderful world of THE ZIMMERS!

Just for the record. As of today the Yankees are 10 games out of first, and just a half game out of last place.
Yesterday afternoon I suffered that computer-user right-of-passage: My primary hard disk died.
No warning, the apps just froze up, and when I rebooted, I got what I now know to be the unambiguous, flashing-question-mark icon. When I described this to the Apple Store support guy, he immediately said, you have a recent backup right?
Umm no. No really recent backup. I mean hey, it's only a 6 month old drive.
OK, my bad.
There's a gnawing ache in my gut when I think about some of the things on that drive, but it's slowly going away.
The good news is that the machine is still under warranty, so Apple will replace the drive, no charge. But before I take them up on this I'm exploring data recovery options.
So, do like I say, not like I do. Make regular backups. I'm gonna start now.

Bush White House staffers attempted to take advantage of the critically ill Ashcroft.
When by comparison even Ashcroft looks like a good guy... !!!
“And Attorney General Ashcroft then stunned me,” Mr. Comey went on: He raised his head from the pillow, reiterated his objections to the program, then lay back down, pointing to Mr. Comey as the attorney general during his illness.

Be patient, it doesn't really get started 'til about 35 seconds in.

Boston sports radio is all a-buzz this morning about Roger Clemens' decision to play for the Yankees.
Aside from the steady "we didn't want him anyways" whining, one big topic is a "make my day" sort of excitement about the possibility that Clemens will begin his 2007 season during the series on June 1-3 when the Yankees come back to Fenway.
