Will you spend an hour with me?

This will be something different in my blog, as I don’t think I’ve written about this subject matter before. Generally I write about TV, music, things that are irritating me, but today, I wanted to write a little about something that’s a little more serious; I’m writing about religion. I don’t know who will be […]

I’ve been a TiVo owner for ages. I’ve loved my TiVo for ages. I still love it even though it’s been sucked up and probably left out to dry by DirecTV. But that’s a gripe for another session. I read a pretty interesting article this afternoon talking about how TiVo (the company) can save itself. […]

I’ve been a TiVo user for about 5 years now. I’ve loved my TiVo for a really long time. Got a lot of my family and a bunch of my friends on board. It’s a wonderful gadget. Problem is TiVo the company hasn’t been doing well. Basically since they failed to align themselves with a […]

How close are you to work?

Saw something on another blog I read, and it’s a query as to how far away you are from work. Using the really badass new mapping system from Google, I live 7.6 miles from where I work (although if I reverse the directions, it gives me a completely different route that’s 8.7 miles). In November […]

Best Food in Dallas

This came out a few weeks ago, but I just noticed it, so I wanted to say something about it. AOL’s Cityguide has come out with their 2005 Best Restaurants list in various food categories. The one I’m most familiar with is Tex-Mex, as most of the bulk on my body comes from eating that. […]

NOTE: I discovered this entry on Aug 27, 2006. I had started it back in January of 2005, and never finished it, I figured I’d just post it as is now – if it looks disjointed, it’s because I never properly finished it. A friend on another blog did a piece on “Things I Tivoed […]

Something that’s been lacking for quite some time now in this digital age is the acknowledgement of the format/idea by many established companies and providers of content. Specifically TV networks. In this day and age, the word “Bittorrent” is the word of choice for people who want to obtain things fast and quick (and most […]

The next 007 movie will be Casino Royale

A few things were formally announced with James Bond today.. Pierce Brosnan is out for good. There’s been a lot of ping-ponging about whether he was in or out, but this was the first time that EON (the people who make the 007 movies) have ever said anything about it, and they said he’s out. […]

In a move that is annoying, yet not unexpected, UPN has formally canceled Star Trek Enterprise. The current Star Trek TV incarnation has suffered from low ratings, and lack of promotion by UPN, but has had a marked upturn in quality, so it makes it all the more annoying for fans who really liked the […]

A Lame Valentine Present

Posted on January 27, 2005December 14, 2022

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 […]
