Some thoughts

There's a company here that markets celebrity
"personalities" for your GPS device, and by far the
most popular is the Ozzy Osbourne. It will mumble to
you: "After 400 yards, you'll have reached your
$#@$!-ing destination."
Among the oddities I've found online are the Whedonverse podcasts from GeekiNntertainment. These two twenty-something guys basically sit around discussing the Buffy series and the Angel series, episode by episode, reliving their fave moments and evaluating the episodes. The funniest thing is that they're not exactly überFans, so they seem to know less about the show than someone who's seen the series a few times, so they're pretty shaky on guest characters' names and minor plot points. After listening to one of their podcasts (it's fun background for doing dishes) I generally get the urge to stay up all night eating Doritos and boosting the RAM on my computer.
For those of you who haven't discovered it yet, a wonderful weekly source of fun is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!, also available in podcast form. This weekly news-quiz show mines the news for things to laugh at, including stupid-criminal stories (like the guy who broke into the convenience store only to find it hadn't closed yet) and great quotes that celebrities really wish they hadn't said. It's where I first learned about the Ozzy Osbourne GPS.
