What's on my mind today?
What is meta? Wikipedia says the prefix is used to mean about (its own category). So a blog post about blogging. Or a song about songs.
Or a TV show about TV shows.
Sometimes such exercises in meta don’t work – remember Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip? But other times, [...]
Well, yesterday was certainly a whirlwind day for “weird Al” Yankovic (and his fans.)
The controversy started when Al wrote a blog post detailing his issues when trying to get Lady Gaga to approve a parody of her song “Born This Way” called “Perform This Way.” Definitely give his blog post a read – he is [...]
For the non-nerds among you: Project Cafe is the codename that has been given to Nintendo’s next video game console. It is important to note that this codename will almost certainly NOT be what the console is ultimately called… The Wii was codenamed Revolution (which was one damn cool codename), and the GameCube [...]
This video has been making the rounds on Facebook lately, so you may have already seen it, but it’s worth another view.
Happy Passover, everybody!
Man, I love Norm MacDonald.
He was my favorite Weekend Update anchor from my youth – his punchlines and his non-punchlines and his whole unique style of telling jokes was just brilliant. I know there were a lot of people who didn’t “get” what he was doing, but I think something about that made him actually [...]
As a Mets fan, I clearly side with Boston in the whole Red Sox/Yankees rivalry. Still, the feud between those two teams doesn’t mean much to those of us who bleed orange and blue – we quite simply have enough of our own problems to deal with.
Nevertheless, I found this video of trash talking [...]
Remember Rocko’s Modern Life? It was a Nicktoon from the 90’s, but unlike Doug, Rugrats, and Ren and Stimpy, it never really got the love.
Well, I loved it as much as I loved those other three shows, so I couldn’t help but be excited by the news that the first season is coming to DVD! [...]
Clinton Festa wrote a book! That’s right, my good friend and college roommate Clint has written a book, and it’s called Ancient Canada. And you can buy it. And you should!
Ancient Canada is the story of the secret and fantastical history of the mystical land of Canada, told by the people who [...]
As a general rule, I don’t much enjoy musicals/legitimate theatre. As a kid, my mother dragged me to many Broadway shows, all of which I hated. Courtney and I have seen a few shows on the Great White Way over the years, and while I didn’t hate any of them, there were none [...]
Here’s how much of an eternal optimist I am: I choose to believe in the Mets this year.
Now I know, any baseball prognosticator worth his or her salt is predicting that the Metropolitans will be battling it out with the Nationals over who will end up in the NL East cellar.
I [...]
