  • donna martin graduates!

    and then… apparently… gets knocked up. ok, first, tori was never my preferred 90 girl. that easily was jennie garth, followed by tiffani amber-theissen and joe e. tata (not in that order). so, there\’s that. second, i\’m aware that being pregnant does weird things to a person\’s body. i appreciate this. i, myself, have done…

  • I really really want to like this show

    One of my favorite TV shows of all time was Sports Night. Created by Aaron Sorkin, it had all the hallmarks of a Sorkin show. Quick, intelligent dialogue. Instant history/back story between two of the major players. A bubbling love affair in the workplace. Multiple subplots. And so on.

  • Succinct (and probably NSFW)

    Ahh, so I didn\’t just imagine that I saw this yesterday. Props (obviously) to The Big Lead for their work on this. Any bets on the size of the FCC fine?

  • Brand Confusion

    Ok, I just saw a commercial for UPS. In the background, an identifiable song is playing. The artist? The Postal Service. I\’m so confused. Which is it that I\’m supposed to be using? (Morans.)

  • HDTV

    Let\’s have a little story time. I\’d say it was two years ago, more or less. A co-worker was telling us over lunch about how he\’d bought something called high-definition television, and how amazing it was, and how we were all welcome to stop by his place sometime and check it out. I have to…

  • Talkin\’ Hockey

    Item of interest number one: On Versus tonight they unveiled something called \’rail cam\’. Frankly, it\’s brilliant. You\’ve perhaps seen the camera at football games that floats over the field? Well this is similar. They mounted a moving camera on the glass, and it can move back and forth with the action. Give the truck…

  • All the Presidents, Men

    Watch it now before the new Google overlords round up all who watch this to toil in their underground sugar caves… I love the George W Bush snore, and as much as I love the Daily Show, I\’ll admit it – I miss Killby a little bit. AND… KO\’s gonna run another \”special comment\” tonight…

  • george… ma\’am…

    are you like me, do you like do whatever possible at work to put off actually doing work?  then i\’ve got a website for you.  no, not youtube.  not ze frank.  not even the ever-popular simpleprop.  (c\’mon, we\’ve been writing more lately.) it\’s http://www.80stvthemes.com. it\’s a sometimes fun, sometimes painful trip down memory lane featuring…

  • Mark Cuban is a moron

    Mark Cuban has been quoted saying that anyone who buys YouTube is a \”moron\”.  He does have a good point in that most of the content found on the site is copyrighted. But Cuban is far from unbiased on this topic.  He is the co-founder of HDNet, and he went out of his way to…

  • studio 60

    a handful of interesting notes today, but because i\’m trying to be less ADD, we\’ll stick to one:  happen to catch Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip last night?  sara and i did, although nearly by accident:  we tuned in to NBC at 9, assuming we\’d see the season premiere of Medium– turns out that…
