Steve Jobs came onto the stage to the cheers and clapping of all the major tech blogs and magazines and attendees at MacWorld today. Among the excitement of the keynote address were four major announcements. I’ll give Steve credit, he’s succinct in his keynotes. The four major announcements are: 1) iPhone Apps on the iPod…
This Made Me Chuckle, And TV’s Back, Sort Of
This morning I came in to the office, and after checking work e-mail I pulled up my personal G-mail account and this is what I saw: So, yeah – that made me laugh. I’ve just recently started using Netflix – I’m a little concerned they only said they received one movie back, but hopefully later…
Never Let Tracy Morgan Into Your Home
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Tracy Morgan behave as though he has his sanity. I know he’s just an actor. I know he’s a very funny man. But I would not let him near my kids. You know, if I had kids. Still, don’t let him into your home. There is no telling…
Futurama is Dead: Long Live Futurama!
As many of you may be sad to note, the heavily-syndicated cartoon Futurama has ended its run on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim time slot, due to the running out of their contract. This saddened me and many of my friends who loved Futurama. I only saw a few episodes in it’s original run, but it…
Things From TV: Dr. House’s Cane
For Halloween, I dressed up as Dr. Gregory House from the TV show “House” on Fox. My outfit would not have been nearly as cool or convincing (not that I look like him) if it hadn’t been for my black cane with flames at the bottom. He didn’t get this cane until season 3, when…
Cancelled TV Shows
I am sick of television cancelling all the good shows. I think we as viewers either don’t have time to watch anything that isn’t heavily advertised or we just pre-judge a show based on the commercials for it and don’t give it a chance. There are so many great shows that get canned, either because…
Futurama: Bender’s Big Score
I just finished watching the new Futurama movie – “Futurama: Bender’s Big Score” on DVD. We picked it up at the local movie rental store, and watched it after “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” (which was pretty funny). If you’ve been a Futurama fan for as long as I and my friends have…
Everybody’s Working for The Weekend
It’s Saturday – and thank you Jesus! This week has been crazy – I feel like I’ve been angry at every turn. My job requires me to be patient with the people I interact with (yours probably does too). The deal with anyone who deals with customers or coworkers is that you’re allowed to be…
In Search of Sanity
Seriously folks, I can’t wait until the 21st of December. That is the very last day of work before a week-long paid vacation for Christmas. I’m going to go home and see my mom and dad and sister, relax, enjoy not doing anything (except maybe taking care of my mom) and sit on my butt.…
Writer’s Strike
You know what really grinds my gears? This screen writer’s union going on strike thing. I know they’re lobbying for more money and to get royalties off all these shows that are being played over and over again in syndication. But it’s seriously cramping my tv-viewing style. I hope the networks and studios realize they…
