I’ve been TIVOing “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles“which is set after the events in ‘Terminator 2′ and follows Sarah Connor and her son John, trying to stay under-the-radar from the government as they plot to destroy the computer network Skynet in hopes of preventing Armageddon. I watch them when I get a chance and I’ve yet to watch the season finale, but so far I’ve loved the show. I can’t wait for the new movie to come out, but it all makes this article I just read via Kottke a little freaky…

Henry Markram has built a supercomputer comprised of 2,000 IBM chips that can handle 22.8 trillion operations per second. “Each of its microchips has been programmed to act just like a real neuron in a real brain.”

Blue Brain scientists are confident that, at some point in the next few years, they will be able to start simulating an entire brain. “If we build this brain right, it will do everything,” Markram says. I ask him if that includes selfconsciousness: Is it really possible to put a ghost into a machine? “When I say everything, I mean everything,” he says, and a mischievous smile spreads across his face.

I can’t wait to see this! I thought he was only doing a new TV series! I hope this is as good as the previous animated Clone Wars. Wonder when the new line of toys will start appearing?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – He said “Revenge of the Sith” would be his final “Star Wars” film, but creator George Lucas is taking another shot at silver screens with the animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” in movie theaters in August.Lucasfilm Ltd. and the Warner Bros. film studio said on Tuesday they would release the movie on August 15, ahead of the fall debut of an animated TV series of the same name on cable television’s Cartoon Network and TNT.

No, it doesn’t get better gas mileage, but it’s by far a much better package. It’s a little bigger (55″), the picture is so much nicer, the built in audio sounds good enough that I don’t even use my BOSE speakers most of the time, the setup was/is a little confusing, (no I haven’t and probably won’t read the instructions) but now that I’ve got it working it is nice. Switching sources is as easy as changing a channel… with a simple interface on screen that tells me what I’m selecting/watching (VCR, TV, or DirecTV not Input 1, Input 2, Input 3, etc.). I also managed to pick up more local stations than ever before (7, 50, Fox 28, and 16) ALL IN HIGH DEFINITION!!!!). I watched the Amazing Race last night in HD… only bad thing is now I’m wanting more HD channels. How is it I can get HD television signals… BUT NO &^%&^*% BROADBAND!?!??! *sigh*

The other bonus/curse with the Mitsubishi is firewire connections (IEEE 1394). I have one in the front… and two in the back. I spent hours last night trying to get my PowerBook to get any source to record from the TV… unsuccesfully. I read forums and articles to no avail. I downloaded the beta developer software from Apple. Nothing. The TV sees my PowerBook and tells me it’s connected… and the PowerBook sees the TV, but I don’t get any picture to capture. I’m gonna try again tonight… otherwise it looks like I need to get a new VCR…. yes, I said VCR. *)&^^&*%&^$#675 technology.

I had a 36″ SONY for about 4, maybe 5 years that finally died. I replaced the $1000 picture tube once. I’ll never buy a SONY TV again. I’ve been drooling over the flat screen LCD screens… but ended up getting this JVC (mine is actually a newer model not listed on the web site… looks exactly the same except has some new HDTV feature built in that I’ll probably never use)

I saw this chick on TLC’s “What Not To Wear” (Yes, as much as I complain to my wife, I watch the stupid show too) and I couldn’t get her song out of my head. A few months later, I caught the episode again, and decided I need to find out if I could get an MP3 of that song. I got more than that. “Freaky Little Story” is one of those CD’s you can listen to over and over and not get sick of. Check out her web site for more info.

As cool as it sounded to me, I was left unimpressed. The James Taylor thing was just alright, and the Kid Rock and Willie Nelson thing was kinda cool, but when I caught the episode with Travis Tritt and Ray Charles and I was blown away. That was some great music! I immediately scoured the web searching for anyone who might have had the ability to capture the audio and convert it to MP3. I never was successful, and so far I have been left hoping that CMT would maybe, someday release the shows on CD or DVD. The next few shows were boring to me, and I lost interest altogether, until Saturday night. I happened to see a commercial for the latest episode featuring Brad Paisley (whom I’ve listened to quite a bit in the last year) and John Mayer (whose music has also dominated my iTunes playlists). The show was amazing. Awesome guitar playing. Great music. Once again, I will be left scouring the web for some digital music.

PLEASE CMT… RELEASE SOME DVDs!!!!!!

Boneham, the big, burly, bearded dad from Indiana, scored the dough on a live telecast last night after winning a viewer vote on the CBS.com Web site. Congratulations Rupert for finally getting what you deserved. Now go buy yourself a fishing pole!!!

NEW YORK — Another diva bit the dust on ‘American Idol’ with the shocking ejection of La Toya London Wednesday night.

The two singers who received the lowest viewer-vote totals — London and Fantasia Barrino — were considered the favorites to go head-to-head in the finals.

Wow. Who saw this one coming. The more I watch this show, the less it seems I know. I thought she had been the best performer over the past few weeks. Crazy. I’m not gonna hold a press conference like Elton John or anything but this sucks.

LOL. This is hilarious.

Jim asks such important questions as…

What playing surface does the Lingerie Bowl use? Natural grass, artificial turf or Jell-o?

Will the game’s organizers test for implants? If so, can I help?

Will they fine players for not wearing their fishnet stockings high enough?

Are there incentive bonuses for making the All-Frederick’s of Hollywood Team?

And most importantly, should we refer to this as Lingerie Bowl I, Lingerie Bowl 2004 or Lingerie Bowl 38C?

Or, come to think of it (and with all apologies to that college game in the Bay Area), wouldn’t it be more accurate to call this the Silicone Valley Bowl?

Oh yeah… don’t forget to check out the “Lingerie Bowl” web site.
