Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

What Simon Does During the Idol Hiatus
Britain's Got Talent is a new Idol-like TV show in the UK. It premiered Saturday and cell-phone salesman Paul Potts performed on that episode:
Wow, that was pretty stunning. I've been watching America's Got Talent, which BTW is the ONLY reality show I've ever watched. It's actually fairly fun and kid friendly. And Jerry Springer is excellent as host. The other day someone auditioned as what is essentially a mummenschanz (see my report on that below) and he was booed off the stage. Sigh, so much for the Muppets generation.
