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. […]
2004, TiVo, and my viewing lists
Joe SieglerNOTE: 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 […]
Legal TV Downloads
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. […]
UPN Cancels Star Trek: Enterprise
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
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 […]
Don’t want your picture taken, eh?
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. In short, it will be a way for someone to tell the camera “Hey, I don’t want my picture taken”. This is an intersting […]
The Mac Mini as a Media Center
I want one even more now!
Orleans: The TV Series
Shortly after my wife and I were first married in the fall of 1996, we heard of a TV series to air early in 1997 starring Larry Hagman. Dallas had ended in 1991, and other than a (really great) Dallas reunion movie he hadn’t done a whole lot. So when I heard Hagman was not […]
Johnny Carson
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 […]
