Two random things.

Samurai Champloo is a guilty pleasure and the first TiVo season pass I've added in recent memory. WP isn't very clear on what the title means, but it sounds like it can translate to "Samurai Remix", which would make sense.

I really like ZipCar. It occurred to me today that I've spent two months driving around other peoples' cars, without speaking to a single person about it at any time; all of my transactions, from signup to making reservations to paying my bill, have been over the Web. That's really great.

Rising gas prices might be very good or very bad for the company, depending. I hope it's the former, if it has to be either.

I haven't watched any Champloo, but I've heard good things about it (though someone said the English dub was poor). I understand it's by the Cowboy Bebop team, which you should borrow from me if you haven't watched. I think champuru is an Okinawan cooking dish, but it may be related to "jumble" as well.

The dub is pretty typical for modern anime imports. All the actors are stuck on Maximum Ham Mode, which isn't entire inappropriate... it is not a very subtle show.
