The great thing about the Internet is that it is a free and open forum for the world without restrictions or censorship in anyway. The web is like the wild west, but we all know that the wild west didn’t last long. Soon law and order, [...]

Cable TV

Is it me or is the worse part of cables TV channels such as Discovery and The History Channel is the commercials for their own shows? I mean, if they have a new show or special, the same commercial is shown at every break. I KNOW YOU HAVE A NEW SHOW! Maybe it’s just me.

Guilty Pleasure of the Week – Tremors

I don’t know what it is about this film but I like to think I’m just a little better than that 1990 movie. I pride myself in my taste in films, as I like to watch, and study, some of the greatest movies ever made. Me, watching a film about Graboids? Please!

This movie, Tremors, [...]

Why do the Internet God Mess With Me?

I’ve been blogging for almost a year with very limited success (see yesterdays blog). Today I would like to talk about the Internet gods and how I feel they are having a joke at my expense.

Confessions of a Frustrated Blogger

The idea of blogging seems simple enough. Just get up a blog and write about what you feel or things of your interest. It can be done for free and you don’t need a degree in computer programming. Heck, you don’t even need a computer, just access to one, like at your local public library.

CNN Headline: Heidi and Spencer’s wedding a sham?

I saw this headline on CNN’s website. The first thought was “Who are these people?” My next thought is “Why would anyone care?”

What’s with the hat, Binder?

I’m assuming everyone has seen these commercials on TV.
If not, there on all the time. I just saw one on the History
Channel. Now I assume this is a quality law firm and that the
people that work for Binder & Binder are all good lawyers
(I felt dirty just putting the work ‘good’ before ‘lawyer’),
but I can’t [...]
