It finally has happened and truly, it was only a matter of time: someone has made a “Knight Rider” themed GPS device. As the Gray Lady puts it, Generation X nostalgia and modern technology have come together like peanut butter and jelly. I for one cannot believe that two years have passed since I thought […]
I love Legos. A lot of people love Legos. One of my favorite blogs Gizmodo loves Legos. Not only did they post about the best Lego sets in history but they recently paid a visit to Denmark and found out in the process that Lego keeps a (sort of) secret corporate vault that contains every […]
One thing that really bothered me about Hilary’s campaign was how time and time again it did not pay for the goods and services it used from very same people it supposedly was “fighting for” – small business owners. Here is just one example: Dakota Pizza, a restaurant owned by Stephen Bledsoe in Wynnewood, PA, […]
I’ve only written a few memorial posts on my blog over the years: Rodney Dangerfield, Jerry Garcia, Saul Bellow, the Columbia Shuttle Crew are the four that are top of mind. They each represented to me something great and unique about humanity and George Carlin definitely qualifies in that regard. Unfortunately, I gave my first […]
Have you ever seen a movie trailer, then seen the movie and wondered “how the hell did they cut the trailer because the movie is so friggen different from what I thought it was going to be?” I have, unfortunately more than once, and usually I’m pretty pissed. Happily, I can tell you of two […]

I was recently at Ryan’s Irish Pub in the East Village enjoying a nice cold post-work Guinness when my friend Steve pointed out that the pint I was drinking was not truly a pint. Over the past decade since I returned from living in London, I’ve gotten used to the size of an American pint, […]
Now you can play a character playing a character in World of Warcraft. Ridiculous! My favorite quote is, “I mean, when you are staring at the computer screen, you believe you are in a dimly lit basement staring at a computer screen.” The Onion, how I love you so…. ‘Warcraft’ Sequel Lets Gamers Play A […]
ManBabies is one of the most ridiculous web sites I’ve seen in a long, long time. The concept is simple: using Photoshop you manipulate a picture that has a father and child in it by swapping their heads. The result is often not only funny but sort of disturbing – like the one below: As […]
Twice a year the sun aligns directly with Manhattan’s east and west streets in a phenomenon known to those who live in the Big Apple as Manhattanhenge. Tonight happens to be one of those nights and gosh isn’t the weather just perfect. One idea is to head as far east you can on any street […]
