Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
This week, Apple introduced a new iPod that will play video. That’s something that has been talked about for ages. Personally I didn’t see the big demand for that. Since it’s Apple/iTunes related, the materials on there would likely be all DRM protected things. Plus, as several folks have said, content drives these kind of […]
Since I’ve become a father, I’ve spent a lot of time lost in my own memories of my childhood. Most of it is good, and I attribute that to the care and guidance I received from my mother. What I remember that isn’t good is mostly attributable to the fact that I didn’t have a […]
…And it appears the rest of the country is finally getting it I’ve abhored the entire genre since day 1. Never saw the point. Check out this article, it appears that more people think there’s too mcuh of it. Granted, ANY is too much, but hey… Will it stop? Probably not. We’ll probably get Survivor […]
Well, my wife did do the list of 7 blog, but she didn’t do it exactly the same. She did some of the questions the same, but three she didn’t answer and replaced with her own ideas. I liked the ones she added, so I decided to do a second list. The first three are […]

Uh-oh. This can’t be good. Not that I’m advocating sexual stuff where it shouldn’t be, but this move just strikes me as something that could be really bad. Penny Nance, who describes herself as a religious conservative and has been a vocal opponent of racy images on television, has been hired by the Federal Communications […]
The political correctness people are soon to come after you. I know it’s been tried already, but the stupidity that is “pc” in our culture has struck another blow for inaneness. This news story tells us that… The NCAA banned the use of American Indian mascots by sports teams during its postseason tournaments Excuse me? […]
UPDATE Sep 29 2005: I just found out the other day that the mall is opening on Friday October 7th. As that is 8 days from the time I”m writing this, all the folks visiting this site looking to get hired are probably out of luck at this point, I’d imagine. I’m still surprised we […]
