The popularity of YouTube has given rise to collections like this. This video is taken from an article called “The 50 Greatest TV Commercials of the 80’s“. Given the 80’s happened when I was 15-25, I remember just about all of this stuff. A huge trip down memory lane for someone who grew up in […]
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 […]

When you’re alone and life is getting you lonely you can always gooo… ACH! DOON – TOON! Hear Willie Sing!
I’m posting this for my wife who loves this commercial I captured off of a videotape a few years back.
Yes. Doctor Who is better than Desperate Housewives. Why? Well, read this. It’s from a friend of mine who posted this on his blog earlier today. The friend he refers to is me, and the bit about “my wife” refers to my wife. Lynn was the one who said the remark to me last night […]
I noticed this morning that some of the Trek seasons are on a huge discount right now. They’re normally around $100 or $110 or so, but now they’re around $50-60. Don’t know if this is permanent or not, so if you’re at all intrested, I’d jump on it now. Hopefully they do this with other […]
