Here’s a new one – Twitter feeds being incorporated into content. I just noticed today that the New York Times is incorporating reporter and following feed scrolls into some of their blogs. I probably don’t need to spend more time browsing, but it’s nice to have the option of checking out what’s listed and maybe [...]

Last week, I had two surprises thrown at me within 24 hours. One, I had a feeling was coming. The other was a surprise. Both have made me consider the probable future of the publishing and of the Internet. I’ve been browsing online since 1995. I still remember my buddy from work, Tommy, who asked [...]

I just checked out Duran Duran’s new video (they are the video experts, after all!) and was surprised to see Simon LeBon looking really good – he and Hugh Jackman could be bros. Last time I saw him a few years ago, he definitely looked “fuller.” Not anymore. Looking and sounding good, Simon. Keep it [...]
In the season of ever-increasing political commercials…

How many people sit down in front of their television sets and say, “Gee, I don’t know who I’m going to vote for? I’ll just watch some political commercials from the candidates and decide?”! Somehow, I think there aren’t too many of these people out there. Tons of money spent on aggrevating, annoying, and insulting [...]

Sayonara NBC Late Night
Posted in media, tagged Conan, NBC, rant on January 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been in shock all week about the whole Conan/Jay Leno thing. It reminds me of my mother dying. If she were dying, I, as her daughter, would be told, I assumed. She was four days away from death and then the doctor casually mentions that her heart is at 10% of normal capacity and [...]

Whip It, which opens October 2 (I’d add a picture, but it could vaporize tomorrow – grumble) Ever since I heard about this movie earlier this year, I was curious. I like Drew Barrymore (also directing the movie), I like Ellen Page, I like Kristin Wiig, and I love roller skating. Plus I like the [...]

No WLS Big 89 Rewind for 2009 or, it appears, 2010…

I just finished tooling around to try and find any info for a 2009 edition. It’s really fun to revisit the past with the Big 89 jocks that I grew up with and hear their take on the present. I didn’t find any information about this year. I really hope they’ll be back on the [...]
