Internet: Google 2001

Google is celebrating their 10th anniversary by allowing users to search their oldest available index (from January 2001). A search for "Sarah Palin" returns zero matches. "Paris Hilton" returns one result about the "teen beauty" followed by many results for the hotel.

YouTube: Recent Videos

• "Rich Girls" by The Virgins. Video Hottie alert!
  
• "Momma's Boy" by Chromeo. Good B&W animation, very retro song.
  
• "White Winter Hymnal" by Fleet Foxes. So-so stop-motion animation by the singer's brother.
  
• "I Decided" by Solange (Beyonce's younger sister). Cartoonish trip through the last four decades.

TV: "Veronica Mars", "Lost"

TV review. Enjoyed the premiere of "Veronica Mars" on the UPN. Star Kristen Bell reminds me of a young Tea Leoni. Next Tuesday's episode will feature the strangely fascinating Paris Hilton.

Also watched "Lost". Not bad, but could have done without the monster subplot. That strains credulity on its own. But when three castaways have a close encounter with the "thing", yet not one of them gets a good look at it - well, that's when I tore my Anterior Credulity Ligament.

Celebrities: Paris Hilton

Don't forget - Paris Hilton is on the Late Show with David Letterman tonight.
