I thought the trailers for “Juno” made it look pretty good, but then I read this post over at Cracked.com, and while hilarious, makes me think I might not enjoy it. (Warning, some adult language on that linked site) Indie films are often pretty enjoyable productions, and can even be thought-provoking works of art. And…
Where My Tax Money Went: Sony Playstation 3
So it’s been about two months since I got my tax refund – and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using my new Playstation 3 that I purchased with that tax refund. Aside from the fun downloadable video game demos and 3rd party games that I got from the Playstation Store online, it’s also an awesome blu-ray movie…
That Time We Don’t Talk About
Several years ago, when I was in school, my buddy and I decided it’d be a good idea to disappear for a couple of days and go have some fun on a road trip. This buddy, she likes to go on random “adventures” and get lost and not tell any one where she’s going, and…
Everyone Loves a LOLCat
It’s Thursday, the week is almost over, and soon it’ll be the weekend and you’ll be relaxing or running errands or doing something besides what you do all week long. If you’re low on motivational fuel or good vibes or whatever and just want a laugh, hopefully this lolcat will give you a quick pickmeup.…
iMovie Festival 2008
Last night I attended the first annual iMovie Festival at the university at which I am employed. It’s not the first ever held, just the first one here. I have to say, it was pretty enjoyable. I was expecting a series of more and more horrible films, and maybe a few shining-star examples that would…
You Ain’t Got No Alibi
Why on earth did God decide to put two starkly contrasting things together like cheerleaders and the cheers that they cheer? Cheerleaders are usually pretty hot, and the cheers they do are usually pretty annoying. It’s one of the stranger pardoxes in the universe. Company 81, a clothing company, has given access to their clothing…
Get Plugged In to HD Music Videos
This morning I received an e-mail telling me that new HD music video / social networking site PluggedIn launched in beta today. PluggedIn is apparently a venture by actor / recording artist Will Smith in association with Sony, EMI, and other big name record labels. What immediately one me over when I loaded up the…
Get Your Daily Thrills at Thrillist
First of all, I’m obligated to let everyone know that I’m a BzzAgent, part of a word-of-mouth program where consumers try out products, services, and websites and then tell their friends about them. I’m not getting any reimbursement for this post, I’m just telling you about something I liked. Thrillist is a site where you…
Her Side of Television
I have to be honest here: having someone to call “my girl” is awesome. I wanted to write here today about one of the things I appreciate the most about the situation: having such similar but diverse interests means that we challenge and broaden each other’s collection of cultural experiences. The most interesting thing that’s…
Download High-Quality YouTube Videos
Did you know that most YouTube videos can be downloaded now as high-quality mp4 (MPEG-4) files? There have been browser and URL hacks to download files previously, and several sites and Firefox extensions would allow you to plug-in an URL to a YouTube video and it would snag the file or give you an URL…
