As you may or may not of heard of U.S. Government is thinking about imposing a rule on the Internet. The laws they propose will cover everything from what can be posted and who can be online. In protest of this I will not be posting anything that day. In fact I am not going to be online that day at all.

So what is SOPA

Cnet has a great article HERE

Btw if you come here on the 18th all you’ll see is This

Since I use a different version of WordPress I’ll be posting a link on the 17th in addition to my usual.

This February, “The Simpsons” could break another world record.

In celebration of the cartoon’s historic 500th episode milestone (Sun., Feb. 19), Fox is inviting “The Simpsons” lovers to participate in a marathon that will hopefully lead to a new record for the longest continuous television viewing. The current Guinness World Record of 86 hours, 6 minutes and 41 seconds.

The “Ultimate Fan Marathon Challenge” at Hollywood & Highland in Los Angeles will begin on Wed., Feb. 8, as “The Simpsons” superfans come together to — if they succeed — watch 500 continuous episodes through Feb. 19. The winner will take home $10,500 and some special merchandise, of course.

The iconic animated series already holds Guinness World Records for the longest running animated series, the longest running sitcom and the most Emmy Awards won for an animated series, among others.

But a decade ago, “The Simpsons” parodied Guinness World Records, in the Season 13 episode “Sweet and Sour Marge,” in which Homer tries to get everyone in Springfield together to build the tallest human pyramid. Instead, when their attempt comes crashing down, officials deem Springfield the world’s fattest town. Hopefully, the “Ultimate Fan Marathon Challenge” will yield better results.

In its current 23rd season, “The Simpsons” is chock-full of guest voices this spring: Lady Gaga teaches Lisa to love herself in the finale; Lisa falls in love with Michael Cera on Valentine’s Day; “Breaking Bad’s” Bryan Cranston plays a fictional Hollywood spy; Jeremy Irons will play Moe’s only friend; “The Social Network” star Armie Hammer lends his voice to “The D’oh-cial Network”; and Glenn Close will reprise her role as Homer’s mom Mona.

You got a Gift Card for the holidays? and don’t know what to do with it. First of all your not alone, according to this one retailers assn. there is something like 1 Billion US Dollars in unused gift cards out there. I know that number is shocking, and it’s not a number I pulled out of the air. It’s fact, just use your favorite search engine and you see it for yourself.

So what do you do with a Gift Card you either don’t want or can’t use…and no I am not going to say send them to me. We both know that is pure crazy. But their are some real answers.

1st many Currency Exchages and Pawn Shops this time of year post signs that they are buying them. You may not get the full retail value for them, but it’s some extra cash you can use.

2nd Many charities use donated Gift Cards as both a fun raising tool and to buy stuff for their clients. Especially clothing and personal hygiene products. Donating them can be especially simple as dropping the Gift Cards in an envelope and mailing it to them.

3rd Re-gifting them to someone. Last year and this is no joke one guy had a bunch of them and was giving them out on the street.

4th okay if you really want to give them to me….this last one was my little joke.
