Neil Patrick Harris Singing About Prop 8 = Awesome

Neil Patrick Harris singing about anything is pretty much all it takes to make me happy (see my summer ramblings about Dr. Horrible). We don't lovingly refer to NPH as our patron saint around the office for nothing. He does magic, he can sing, he's Barney, he used to play a doctor on TV. Just all around awesome. So of course I was going to love the latest offering from Funny or Die. They had the amazing Marc Shaiman (he wrote all of those infectiously addictive songs for Hairspray) cook up a special musical number about the Prop 8 controversy. It's a joyful and silly star-studded affair and has succeeded in finally getting me out of my funk.

It starts out at Sacramento Community College, where they are staging Prop 8 -- The Musical. It features a brightly colored group of gay rights-friendly people (including Maya Rudolph, Margaret Cho and Andy Richter) gleefully warbling about how excited they are about Obama and change. And then there's a group of religious folks (including John C. Reilly, Allison Janney, Craig Robinson, Lake Bell, Sarah Chalke, Rashida Jones and Kathy Najimy) clad in dark clothes who come in to put a damper on all the fun. Until Jesus (played by a shrimp cocktail-eating Jack Black, of course) steps in and tries to broker some peace. It doesn't work. So it all comes down to Neil Patrick Harris who, with the help of the adorable Shaiman tickling the ivory's, gives the religious folks a reason to embrace gay marriage. It's kinda genius and was apparently staged by the huggable Adam Shankman (or Shankers for those So You Think You Can Dance fans out there). All in all, a good time, filled with clever lyrics and some fine singing, including a nice belt at the end by the divalicious Jenifer Lewis. The only downside? I'm gonna have this stuck in my head all day long.

Yeah, I'm in a gushy mood today. Can't help it. I love a musical, and topical short ones are the best kind. Watch the clip embedded below (or here if you've got one of those quirky computers) and then let us know what you think.

Sorry, I hate Prop 8 as much as anyone, but I thought this was incredibly lame, except for the presence of Allison Janney, who is intrinsically awesome.

One more thing is that while searching for a good internet electronics shop, look for online shops that are constantly updated, trying to keep up-to-date with the newest products, the very best deals, as well as helpful information on product or service. This will make sure that you are doing business with a shop that stays on top of the competition and offers you what you need to make knowledgeable, well-informed electronics acquisitions. Thanks for the significant tips I have learned through the blog.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
