There was a story on our late local news last night about the induction of "Raggedy Ann"tm into the National Toy Hall of Fame. The sports guy expressed astonishment that there were only half-a-dozen toys in the Hall, and I had to agree with him. Turns out that the Toy Hall is new and distinct from the Toy Industry Hall of Fame, which has been inducting people (not toys) since 1984. Another toy, of a sort, is the online game "Everquest." Apparently its fictional setting can now be valued in monetary terms. I'm not sure I agree with the methodology, but... From toys to tech: where does my e-mail go when sent?
Here's a concept...ABC was correct to pursue Letterman? That's the premise of an op/ed which points out that last year's Presidential candidates got more air time from their appearances on Oprah, Leno and Letterman than they did on the network news. More cynicism desired? Try this, regarding campaign consultants' income. In fact, Howard Kurtz seems to have written an entire column about cynicism and hypocrisy. But, Linkmeister, you say, is there no joy left? Well, grasshopper, yes there is. Just in time for Easter, cloned rabbits!
