Random Thoughts 5/13/10

• The planet Jupiter got demoted from corporal to private. The planet recently lost one of its two large red stripes and scientists don't really know why.
• It's been a great season of "Survivor," which ends this Sunday by the way.
• Pixar canceled it's upcoming movie, Newt, which would have been about the last two blue-footed newts on Earth. It would have been a "not if you were the last man on earth" love story, which I thought sounded really interesting. Oh, well.
• "Heroes" is almost certainly canceled for next season. That's okay; it's been dead on it's feet for awhile (like since the last episode of the first season). There may be a tv-movie finale to wrap up the show. The networks reveal their Fall lineups next Monday.
• I started biking today, making three short 2-mile trips between home and work. It'll take some getting used to but soon this little jaunt will be child's play.
• Will Verizon get the iPhone this year? It's been about 14 months since a Verizon sales rep told me not to leave because "we're about to get the iPhone too; this year for sure!" Yeah, whatever.
