Rest in Peace, Common Sense
My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by. Today I read his obituary. Please join me in a moment […]
Cher & her agent are an ass
Today is the launch of Apple’s iPhone. It’s funny, two guys from my office today are heading over to a store not too far from our office to try and get one later this afternoon. There’s iPhone stories all over the web today. But this one irked me. Check this: Movie stars, who are accustomed […]
My Xbox 360 Died
Saturday is the day my wife works, and Daddy gets to take care of Samantha. As that’s gone on awhile now, I’ve gotten better at it, and I find true enjoyment at spending time with my daughter, and watching her grow up right in front of me. Still, I do enjoy nap time. :) So […]
Raping a Dead Guy
You’d never actually want to do that, but that’s what someone is doing to Jimi Hendrix. The best way to honor one of our best all time guitarists is to name some sort of energy drink after him, isn’t it? I mean why not dig up his corpse, and set what’s left on fire? Wouldn’t […]
Excuse me? Since when is that a sport?
You know one of the casualties of the National Hockey League lockout was their exposure on ESPN. ESPN decided that when Hockey returned that they weren’t going to pony up what the NHL wanted, and decided to go without the Coolest Game on Ice. Hockey already suffered from terrible ratings as it was, and the […]
MPAA – FOAD
Read this and weep. It’s scary how nonsensical the MPAA is. These people need to go away. I’m not advocating anarchy and no control, but if you read through all of what I link to above, it’s scary. Spend some time and read this. It made me so mad, I can’t say anything about it, […]
Gas Station Video Screens
I’m driving home from work tonight, and I pull into the usual station I fill up at. I had just gotten my truck washed earlier in the morning, so I didn’t need to clean the windows. So I’m just standing there killing a couple of minutes when I noticed that little lcd display on the […]
Figures. It just figures
I just read that the Ultimate Electronics store is pulling out of the D/FW area. These guys installed my home theatre system, and I couldn’t have been happier with their service. This is a major annoyance to me. This past Christmas I had my eyes on a really good DLP HDTV system, but ended up […]
A Lame Valentine Present
While driving around town the last week or so, I’ve heard probably the dumbest commercial. There’s a guy who gives his woman a present, and it turns out to be that he’s named a star (a real one in the sky) after her. The commercial goes on about “Make your special someone feel like a […]
Best Buy is strange
I’ve personally never believed in the axiom “The Customer is always right” (it’s almost always the other way around). However, Best Buy is taking it to new levels. Check out this article which talks about how Best Buy is trying to cut out 20% of their customer base, since BB considers them “bad for business”. […]
