Not to keep pushing this or anything, but the creators of that anti-Bush comic Tex have put up a new flash animation advertising their product:
While you’re at it, you can listen to one of the songs from the free CD that comes with the comic.

Comic book lampoons Bush
In case you wondered what MachineSamba looked like, here’s a story from a local paper about Tex:
“It’s very much in the satirical tradition and the long American tradition of the political pamphlet,” said Joshua Dysart, the writer, who is also currently signed to work on the smash DC title Swamp Thing. “We want it to be a tool to mobilize 18-to-25 year olds and galvanize them against this administration.”
Of all the pretentious… just kidding, Josh.
Google Sets
Another breakthrough from those geniuses at Google:
Google Sets
Automatically create sets of items from a few examples.
Enter a few items from a set of things.
Next, press Large Set or Small Set and we’ll try to predict other items in the set.
Intriguing, eh?
So what’s it good for? Well the first thing that came to mind was inputting names of my friends. But Google’s not scary enough to come up with names of my other friends.
Ah, but what about names of bands I like?
Radiohead
Blur
Belle and Sebastian
