Supergroup on VH1

Earlier today I was watching VH1 on my local cable network and they showed a sneak peak for a new show called Super Group airing on Sunday May 21, 2006 at 10:00 PM EDT.

The concept is they take five seasoned Rock Stars who descend on Las Vegas, Nevada to form a band and save Rock and Roll.

Sounds pretty cool I’m thinking because Rock and Roll does need to be saved. The catch? None of them know who their band mates are ahead of time.

This show should be good. I love rock and roll and they have a few of my favorites in the line up: The Motor City Madman Ted Nugent, Former Skid Row front man Sebastian Bach and Anthrax’s Scott Ian. So far, so good.

They also team up with drummer (Led Zeppelin heir) Jason Bonham and Biohazard’s Evan Seinfeld to live together, form a band, write new music and perform a concert in just 12 days.

I don’t know much about the last two guys but with Ted’s crazy solos, Scott Ian’s pounding rhythm guitar and Sebastian Bach’s screaming vocals, it just has to be totally heavy metal madness!

Gotta love Windows technology being used on ATM machines:

The McDonald’s drive through in my neighborhood always blue screens, so next time I see it, I’ll grab a picture.

House rejects Net neutrality rules

By a 269-152 vote that fell largely along party lines, the House Republican leadership mustered enough votes to reject a Democrat-backed amendment that would have enshrined stiff Net neutrality regulations into federal law and prevented broadband providers from treating some Internet sites differently from others.

The U.S. House of Representatives definitively rejected the concept of Net neutrality on Thursday, dealing a bitter blow to Internet companies like Amazon.com, eBay and Google that had engaged in a last-minute lobbying campaign to support it.

Of the 421 House members who participated in the vote that took place around 6:30 pm PT, the vast majority of Net neutrality supporters were Democrats. Republicans represented most of the opposition.

This is unbelievable! I’m at a loss for words. What is wrong with the United States Government? Canada is starting to look really good these days. I hear the tech industry is booming in Canada.

Adult-Only 3D Online Community

So there’s a new adults-only online community called RedlightCenter.com that’s been launched and it’s built using 3D graphics.

According to a statement made by Ray Schwartz, RedlightCenter.com’s president:

The site provides a social experience for adults who are open-minded and interested in exploring their sexuality

What little I’ve checked it out, it reminds me of the SIMS but with more erotic tones and graphics.
