Thanks to Mark Jaquith, and his JavaScript abilities, we now have a small window which will pop up and notify you if your comment has been caught by the SPAM filter. This window lists the two possible reasons for why the filter has intercepted your comment and politely asks you to wait for an administrator to approve of your comment. I must say, this is far preferred to users asking, “What happened? Why didn’t my comment post? Was it caught by the SPAM filter?” It’s generally good to know these things. And, to quote Mr. Jaquith, “Yes, it works… please don’t test it out by spamming me.”

Let me just start by saying that Sandy Collora is a genius and it’s a pity that no major studios have hired him as a director yet. Since we’re all probably eagerly awaiting the release of a new Batman film, which will hopefully be better than the last two, I thought you would enjoy two short films by Sandy Collora, which feature the Dark Knight. Enjoy the short film, Batman: Dead End, and the fan-trailer, World’s Finest.

Ok, so this isn’t very tech-related at all, but it’s still hilarious. Many people have told me how disgusted they are with the rumors that Pop signer Ashlee Simpson lip-syncs her performances to a pre-recorded track (she pretends to be singing, but what you hear is a pre-recorded track). Well, her career may have ended last night on Saturday Night Live as it became apparent that yes, Ms. Simpson does lip-sync her performances (or at least this one). Of course, what do you do when something like this happens? You distract attention from THE FACT THAT YOU’VE BEEN NEARLY LYING ALL ALONG and blame your band.
