There is a forgotten war being fought in Afghanistan that has been ongoing for six and a half years – I remember watching BBC World footage of B-52’s dropping bombs while on vacation in Mexico in October, 2001 – but the Iraq Debacle (FYI – it is now 1732 days since “Mission Accomplished”) has almost […]
David Lynch and I are on the same page regarding watching things made for the big screen on a small screen: Forget about movies, I think that watching TV on a small screen (phone, portable DVD player, etc) sucks too. If its made for the visual medium, it should be seen in a way that […]
Oh what a night if you are into star gazing. Not only will there be a total lunar eclipse (something that will not occur again until Dec, 2010) but the U.S. Navy very well might try to shoot down that failing and falling “toxic” spy satellite. All of this occurs after the Atlantis lands back […]
My footie club purchase was in the works but now it is official: I now co-own (along with ~ 30k other people) a footie club called Ebbsfleet United FC in jolly old England. Sing the song of songs and let all the world rejoice! As an aside, I take offense to the AP using the […]
Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What makes this so special is that he does it using only himself, gravity, and his incredible ingenuity. It will make you think thrice about how the ancients were able to build what they […]
The other night, certain disaster was only narrowly avoided. Check out the two Duane Reade generic pill bottles below: Why the hell do these two bottles have matching yellow fonts and typefaces along with the same sort of blue / teal background?! I went for some medicine because my back was sore. If I happened […]
I love New York, especially when especially big things happen and today it’s “Two for Tuesday!” here in the Big Apple: 1. The NY Football Giants celebrated the aftermath of the catch (aka an improbable super bowl victory) with a ticker tape parade through the Canyon of Heroes. The last time a parade was held […]
PBS’s NYC affiliate Channel 13 is going heebolicious this coming Sunday playing not one but four shows in a row that have the word “Jew” not only in the title but in caps no less. First off is an encore of the recent landmark series The Jewish Americans. All three episodes will be shown in […]
Stephen King’s site today informed me that Dark Tower: The Long Road Home #1 will be arriving in stores at 12:01 AM, March 5th, 2008 (at participating comic stores). The writing crew of Robin Furth & Peter David and artists Jae Lee & Richard Isanove will be joined by special guest variant cover artist (and […]
PC Magazine has a short article about how hackers have been able to take control of certain power grids. It seems that several cities outside the U.S. have sustained attacks on utility systems and extortion demands and the CIA is taking careful note of what happened to try and prevent it from happening within our […]
