F1’s first black driver Lewis Hamilton is on fire baby! He just picked up his second straight win holding off all challengers to win the US Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway! I don’t really follow Formula One racing at all, but if this guy keeps it up, I may just have to make some […]

I haven’t been paying much attention to the 2008 campaigning for the US presidency because for the most part I’ve already made up my mind and have better things to do until election day. But this video certainly caught my attention and again plays up the fact that the new avenues of participation made possible […]

I’m sorry, I like Apple and everything, but the Safari for Windows Beta is a piece of crap! I cannot believe they released this bug infested alpha level application. To call this beta is an insult to beta level software! Since the initial release of the “beta” a few days ago, a new updated version […]

What if the Pope converted to Islam? Suppose Bin Laden accepted Christ? What if Cub fans moved to the Southside? Now how about this, Dale Earnhardt Jr. joins Hendrick Motorsports and becomes Jeff Gordon’s teammate! This hasn’t been announced officially yet, if true, but if so I cannot wait to see the quakes of Jr. […]

I guess these days everyone has to have their own game. I mean back in the day, then supergroup, Journey had their own arcade game. Now Destiny’s Child is featured in a new mobile phone game. In the game to player is auditioning for a spot in the group as a backup singer. I can’t […]

Apple released the first beta of the Safari web browser for Windows today. Naturally, loving new tech toys, and having heard good things about Safari, I downloaded and installed the beta. Well, I have no regrets, but sadly I’ve not been able to get anywhere except for Apple homepage.
On my Windows XP SP2 box, Safari […]

Monday’s tend to suck enough already, but having a fight in the car on the way to work is just the worst. It’s a no win situation as most stupid arguments are. And this one was no different. I should have been smart enough to avoid a fight like that. Oh well, live and learn […]

I usually watch NASCAR races after church on Sundays, but today I returned home to find that the TiVo had decided that I might like Ninja Warrior and was recording that. I am in fact a big fan of Ninja Warrior on G4 (aka Sasuke in Japan), but on this occassion it was actually recording […]

It looks like Paris Hilton is going back to jail! I neither love nor hate Paris Hilton since I really don’t pay any attention to the things she has been a part of. But the rich and famous getting special treatment in the courts is not unique or surprising. It just happens, unfortunately for Miss […]

I spent a little time with the TiVo last night looking at some new things, at least to me, that I had missed before. There’s the TiVoCast, which has show downloads from the internet kind of like Democracy TV. And there’s the Amazon Unbox service for movies and TV shows via Amazon.com. But the thing […]

My kids like to sing, and it’s a wonderful thing. Though sometimes it gets a little annoying when they latch on to a single song and won’t let it go. Right now their favorite seems to be Crawling by Linkin Park. I like the song too, but 3 small children singing it over and over […]

Speed Racer was one of those anime I grew up watching long before I realized it was anime. And now a live action movie of this old favorite is right around the corner due out next year. There are of course sooooo many ways this can go wrong, but on the surface at least it […]

Here are a couple of jewels that midori-chan on Crossplay.net found on YouTube. These are from a Japanese game show in which the guy who becomes the best girl wins. In a media market starved for new show ideas, I wouldn’t be too surprised if a US adaptation of something like this showed up in […]

Ran across this bumping about on YouTube. I’m not sure what it is yet, but it is cute and I’m all down for cute! Kawaii!!!!!

Okay, just checked. IDOLM@STER is essentially a Japanese JPop Idol simulator game recently released for the Japanese Xbox 360. This looks like one of those quirkly little games that has little […]

They say that life’s a bitch, well I guess then time’s a bastard! Another college reunion has come and gone for me. It was good to see a few familiar faces again, now with kids! But today I am sad. I’m sad because there was one person I was hoping to see who did not […]
