Today was the first night of American Idol, Did you watch?  I watched about half of it.  While I do find the auditions the best part of the show, there is only so much that I can take before I wanted to pull my eyes out.

What would be an interesting idea, is IT Idol, or Hacker Idol. They start out with all the geeks and nerds, and see who really has the true l33t speak talent and can either fend off the hackers, or can beat the IT people.  It might not be the best TV, but it sure would be more funny to me at least.  I can just see the quotes “ Yeah, I dropped in the rootkit with the exploit to phpmyadmin, and then boosted the ect/passwd file and ran jack the ripper, and boom I was in”  Ok, well yeah. I am a geek, what can I say, but truly I’d enjoy a show like this.

Also, the shows on food network like “The Next Iron Chef” and others, are often more fun because they have more…. Flavor than the wanna be singers I guess.

Oh, 24 starts, and is in New York this year… I wonder how the Yankees will deal with that..
