I've been known to consult ''Wackypedia'' from time to time...

But don't always count on it being accurate. The ''stand-up comedian'' formerly known as Sinbad was reported by them as having died of a heart attack last week. One problem, he's neither dead nor funny yet.
Uh, Whackypedia, that was Richard Jeni. And he Cobained.
Well, at least they don't bash VLC. Must be an 'East Coast-West Coast' sorta thing.
BTW, Whackypedia is also based out of FL, St. Pete to be exact.
MOI? Well, you got the St. and the FL right. But not Pete.
More unintentional comedy courtesy of Whackypedia:
On March 6, 2006 , St. Cloud introduced "CyberSpot", a program which gives all residents free high-speed wireless Internet access.
A year later, I'm still paying for DSL. I'm not exactly a big fan of the ''CyberSpot''.
Take my word for it, ''free high-speed (not much faster than dialup) wireless Internet access (if you can even get it to work at all)'' is grossly overrated.
UPDATE: I continued to rant against ''CyberSpot'' over at YIH. While doing so I went to YouTube and found an easy way to test your Internet connection:

Yep, it's Night of the Living Dead. The entire B&W '68 version. It plays smooth as silk on DSL.
On ''CyberSpot'' I can't even make it to 2:00 before it pauses to ''rebuffer''. At 9:18 the connection is lost.
The jury has returned. The Verdict is in favor of the Defendant (DSL) against the Plaintiff (''CyberSpot''). No award is nessessary, the online service continues with the Defendant.
Case Dismissed.
UPDATE II: Quite clever of YouTube, they don't put the {/embed} tag in the HTML code they provide. So Google (Blogger) chokes on a straight HTML 'cut and paste'.
Gotta admit it keeps the n00bs from posting YouTube to Blogger. For me, merely an annoyance...
