What's on my mind today?
None of us would be happy if we didn’t have remote controls. Even thinking of a time when people had to actually stand up and walk towards their TVs to change the channel or lower the volume is almost painful.
Now we have multiple devices with multiple remote controls; sometimes they can all [...]
So, there is no way for me to write this post and NOT be accused of being a pompous jerk, but whatever, here it goes anyway.
Every now and again, someone will refer to a non Ivy League school as an Ivy League institution. They don’t mean anything malicious about it, they just have their [...]
It’s a question every Star Wars nerd has debated, and I still have some time to worry about it, but this is something I really need to start considering:
How should I expose my kid/kids to Star Wars?
The obvious answer is to start with Episode IV (the original film for any non-geeks). It just makes [...]
My money is worth just as much as anyone else’s, but yet, for some reason, no one wants to take it.
Allow me to explain. In our house, we have an attic. But the only way to get in there is via a tiny entrance in a closet in one of the bedrooms. [...]
OK, having a blog means you get hit with spam, same as having an email address, or getting junk mail at home, or having telemarketers call you on any number you have. It’s just the way it is. I get that. Hell, the first time this site ever got hit with a [...]
Here’s a great idea: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie.
Here’s a terrible idea: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer without Joss Whedon’s involvement.
And yet – it could happen!
This is purely ludicrous. There is a beloved franchise that fans are obsessed with, that has a creator that fans are obsessed with, and they want to hit the [...]
So the missus and I have been trying to buy a used car, and the process is just no fun at all. In part because every time a dealer gives you a final price, at the last minute they decide to add on a huge fee that was never before mentioned.
Why didn’t they check [...]
Dear New York Mets,
Hey guys, how are you? Rough night? Yeah, me too.
Well, let me start out by saying that I still have faith in you, and I believe that you WILL not only make it to the playoffs, but that you will do so by capturing the NL East pennant.
But here’s the thing: my [...]
Entenmann’s makes a lot of quality products, of this there is no denying. However, the crown jewel in their lineup are the delicious creations known as Popems. Popems, for those of you unfortunate enough to have never encountered these little bite-sized pieces of heaven, they combine everything you could ever want in a [...]
DVD’s were great, but I think their time has come and gone. And no, I’m not talking about Blu-ray discs as the next big great thing either, because they have the main flaws of DVDs. Allow me to elaborate.
When VCR’s first invaded people’s homes, they were a revolution – not only could you [...]
