Yay! Viz is going to be releasing Bleach here in the US starting in June. Lyn turned me on to Bleach and I love what I’ve read so far. This is another title that I wish they’d have in Shonen Jump. I don’t mind it coming out in graphic novels, but Jump needs one or two more titles in it.

Oh dear. I glanced up just now and saw that Shazam! was on. Billy Batson rides around in a Winnabego and talks to the elders (Zeus and the other gods) using some weird device with flashing lights. I guess even the gods have gone kinda high tech now. The lesson today is that even a white lie can turn into something much bigger. Billy has the worst hair too.
I wonder if TV Land also shows Isis too.
Just checked TV Land’s web site and it seems they will be showing a bunch of Sid & Marty Krofft stuff on the 17th. Must remember to TiVo Electra Woman & Dyna Girl.
David Harris links to a study on drinking eight glasses of water a day. Looks pretty interesting.
Last year I reported on a paper from the American Journal of Physiology that dispelled the myth that people should drink eight glasses of water per day. Now this has been supported by another study published by the Institute of Medicine.
The new report recommends that thirst be the main motivator for drinking more. One of the urban myths of water consumption was that if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. This study helps put that myth to rest.
Another common myth about water consumption is that water from caffeinated beverages should not count. The new report repeats previously published findings that say you should count all water intake, including from caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea and soft drinks, and also from food.
A more significant health finding is that Americans are consuming far too much sodium (usually in the form of salt in foods) and too little potassium. [David Harris’ Science & Literature]

David Pogue has a nice rundown of the iPod and the other hard drive mp3 players. The iPod seems to come out in front, but it is clear that its competitors are innovating right behind them.
Apple could have been some character from Greek mythology: blessed with ingenious, culture-changing innovation yet cursed with seeing its ideas co-opted by rivals who wind up making all the money. In the iPod’s case, though, none of the companies who lust for some of Apple’s pie can deliver the elegance and convenience of Apple’s music trinity: iPod, the iTunes software and the iTunes music store.
But if an iPod isn’t for you, you could do worse than buying the Dell for its simplicity and economy, the iRiver for its super-geeky feature list or the Rio Karma for its excellent design and compact dimensions. In this election, at least, there can be more than one victor. [New York Times]
Safari 1.2 was released around a week ago. Dave Hyatt’s Surfin’ Safari details some of the highlights of the update. He also talks about some things that are broken in a later post. Why can’t more companies let their people blog like this?
Thank you Apple for having Lemon Jelly.
