Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
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 […]
Last night my wife posted an entry on her blog detailing everything she did in a day of taking care of Samantha. It’s rather a lot of stuff, and from my perspective appeared to be designed to show off the fact that taking care of a baby/toddler keeps you from having any kind of set […]
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 […]
My wife just informed me I didn’t update my blog in over a month now. So here’s your update, honey.
