Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
As I’m sure you probably know if you follow Doctor Who, the show will be back in early 2005 after being off the airwaves since 1989. The fan community is all abuzz about it, as it’s the first real Doctor Who series produced in the era of the Internet (We had Fidonet back when the […]
Radio sucks. I don’t like it. I prefer to listen to my own CD’s. I’d have an iPod, but for the amount of music I have, I’d need the biggest one, and I can’t afford that. What I’m about to write here further puts me in the “radio sucks” camp. When I do listen to […]
It’s been renewed. Thank god. I don’t want to merit the value of the various Star Trek series. I have loved all of them (even the Animated series). I like Enterprise. I loved DS9 (my favorite Trek series). I know others don’t. Fine. I don’t care – I love them, and I like watching them. […]
Six Apart issued v3.0 of their Movable Type blog software today. They’re charging now. Everyone freaks the hell out cuz they have to pay now. Oh Waaaah. A company releases software that got to be really REALLY popular. A community grows, and it becomes really popular. Then said company releases a new version and wants […]
I’m a big fan of iTunes. I think it’s got a great interface, the software is slick, and I can find tunes for a buck. That’s a great deal, IMHO. However, I ran across a link that is an iMix of songs that are for sale on iTunes that are blank! The fact that empty […]
I was poking around and ran across this extremely funny news story over on Wil Wheaton’s blog about the original Star Trek TV series. One of the things that modern Trek fans don’t like about the original is the special effects, so I saw this story, and then I found out it was a joke. […]
Evertyhing nowadays is low carb this and low carb that. Hell, even at the Ballpark, they have a low carb “menu”. This country is nuts. It’s just the latest fad – it will go away in 6 months, no one will care anymore. We’ve had bread in our diet forever, and the last what 10 […]
Some people are too stupid to live. Like this guy. OMG!
Yesterday I got my cel phone bill. My carrier is Cingular. I got my cel phone back when Southwestern Bell had cel carriage here in the DFW area, and then they got bought out by Cingular, so I’ve been there since. Anyway, the bill came in a new smaller envelope. When I opened it, it […]
Who are the Hooters? The Hooters are a band from Philadelphia who were popular around there, with limited appeal beyond Philadelphia (that I was aware of, anyway) in the mid/late 80’s. They’re called that because of an instrument that they play called a “Melodica”, whose nickname is the Hooter. Normally I like stuff like Black […]
