Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
So, you don’t want your picture taken, eh? Seems like Hewlett-Packard has gotten a patent on something that will allow you to prevent people from taking your picture. It’s detailed here.

When I sat down at the computer this evening to start reading about my Eagles getting to the Super Bowl, I saw the headline that Johnny Carson had died. That kind of bummed me out. I’ll be 40 in August, and when Carson had retired, I was 27, I had been watching him for awhile […]
Those of you who know me know I love baseball. I’ve been running a fan website for the Texas Rangers sine December of 1998. It’s been fairly popular, even making it into the stadium program for 3 months last year! However, I finally decided to blogify my Rangers site. I turned my news section of […]
I personally have no real interest in this show. However, I know a few people who read my blog do. Apparently there will be DVD’s of this show released later this year. Here’s some more info. Hi Chana! :)
