My little sister will turn 30 next year on 10/10/10, which is pretty cool on a number (no pun intended) of levels, mainly 10 + 10 + 10 = 30. This got me to thinking that being born on the first day of October, I’ve never really had one of those cool birthdays like 01/02/03, [...]

Julia Child, Mr. Wizard, Monty Python … Good Eats Turns 10
This afternoon I was at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, GA watching the live matinee performance of “Good Eats Turns 10″ with Alton Brown. What a blast! I had a fantastic time. I don’t think I’ve been to a live TV show recording before (except for sporting events), so it was cool [...]
At least this proves Clippy is finally dead
Microsoft is really reaching with some of its latest advertising campaigns. Perhaps you heard about the vomiting woman with IMGIGP (oh my god, I’m gonna puke) syndrome commercial that they recently pulled? And yes, that was Dean Cain as the spokesman. Well, check out the latest “ad” for Microsoft Office 2010: I have to admit [...]
Cleveland tourism videos
I can post these and laugh because Cleveland is my hometown. Unless you’re from there, you’re not allowed to snicker at these! Though humorous on the surface, they are a sad commentary on the current state of the city … the Flats used to be a really cool place. I have fond memories of going [...]
The Matrix: 10 years later
Wow … “The Matrix” was released 10 years ago. Today’s xkcd really sums it up: I still use that DVD as my definitive surround sound test (specifically the bullet time sequence on the roof).
April Fool’s Day
Google’s annual April Fool’s day joke was pretty creative: AutoPilot to automatically respond to your e-mail messages. There was also PC World’s article about the new TiVo that can record shows before they air (the TiVo SuperAdvance) that I thought was cute. Other than that, I really didn’t see a lot of other tom-foolery. However, [...]
Monty Python and the Holy … Gatorade?
Since I have TiVo, a commercial has to really catch my attention at 3x fast-forward in order for me to stop, rewind, and watch it. That’s exactly what Gatorade’s latest ad campaign, “The Quest for G,” did. The film is a hilarious cinematic re-creation of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” starring sports stars such [...]
Sony’s latest gadget (not really)
Not safe for work, but pretty frickin’ hilarious. Really sums up the current state of the consumer electronics industry, doesn’t it?
1234567890 Day
This is some good ol’ Unix nerdliness that really makes me smile: 1234567890 Day.
It’s over, let’s get back to normal
Super Bowl XLIII didn’t end the way I wanted it to, but what a fantastic, down-to-the-wire game! Some random thoughts: Raymond James Stadium and the Tampa Bay area looked great in all the blimp shots (especially in HD). I was only half-watching the halftime show, but I did see Bruce Springsteen slide across the stage [...]
