Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
While my daughter can say words and “two word” sentences, she can’t do anything like this story below. I guess we have lots of fun to look forward to. One of my nephews back home came through with a doozy of a line, that prompted this author to almost spew his dinner onto the table […]
This is pretty amusing. It’s the general plot for the first Matrix movie done in Muppets. Pretty darned amusing if you like either of them.
I run a site about one of the most classic heavy metal bands there is. I do work for some metal musicians. Yet, this artist still intrigues me. No idea why, but this song really hooked me. It’s “Hung Up” by Madonna from her “Confessions on Dance Floor” album. Perhaps it was the Abba riff? […]
Weird Al Yankovic has a new album coming out next week (Sep 26) entitled “Straight Outta Lynwood“. As usual, he’s hit a home run with the first single from the album. This is “White & Nerdy”, which is a parody of the song “Ridin’” by Chamillionaire (. I’ve been listening to Weird Al since his […]
Since I live in Dallas, and have the hell of living in Cowboy land, one majorly huge lifeline for me is the NFL Sunday Ticket package on DirecTV. It allows me to watch pretty much whatever game I want, so I get to see all the Eagles games (I’m from Philly), and Steeler games […]
A few days back I reported (not really reported, just posted other’s news) on an update to the original Star Trek’s special effects. Since then, several things have been posted which are updates to the original story. Here’s a summary of some further developments: Aint It Cool News has a short video comparing the old […]
http://www.scifi.com/battlestar The new season of Galactica starts on Oct 6th, but between now and then, they’re running new 4 or 5 minute “Webisodes” on their website which is supposed to fill in the blanks between the finale some months ago, and the finale in a couple of weeks. DON’T watch this stuff unless you’re current […]
I’ve been a fan of Star Trek for a long long time. My family legend goes that my father used to put me in the playpen once a week when he watched Star Trek & Wild Wild West when Trek was new in 1966. Subconciously I attribute my love of Sci-Fi to that. :) I […]
As you can see by reading this, I’ve had a major overhaul to my blog. While I was happy with the old look I had, there recently was a contest by Six Apart (the people who make the blog software) for folks to make new design layouts for the software. This contest is over, and […]
I get a lot of spam. In 2005, I got just under half a million pieces of it myself at my work email account. So I would like to think I am familiar with it. Each morning I download my 500 or so pieces of the stuff that have built up since the time I […]
