Why isn’t anyone calling it what it is (New Apple TV = Set-top box)

On a scale from 1to10, the new Apple TV is a set-top box.
Apple announced today the new version of Apple TV, a tiny little device for streaming HD movies to your home television.  This is very cool – the form factor looks awesome and beautiful, as we might expect of an Apple product.  It’s eschewed [...]

011110 – Palindromes are sweet

On a scale of 1to10, palindromes are neat and a little trippy. Since we’ve been talking about dates anyway, and my buddy Jim just brought this to my attention, I thought I’d share it with you. Today is January 11th, 2010. 01/11/10
011110
Sweet. I’ve always liked palindromes. For the uninitiated, they’re words [...]

1/2/10 – an opportunity lost

On a scale of 1to10, I deserve a 2. At best.
On January second of this year (about a week and ago) an amazing opportunity arose. My good friend Jeremy pointed it out to me. The date, January 2nd, 2010. Or, written another way: 1/2/10
So cool. Our blogging namesake there, [...]

More To Love?

More To Love?  Really?  Why don’t they just call it Fatties in Heat™ and get it over with?
Now, I’m not trying to be “fattist.”  I struggled with weight as a kid, and I understand the pain of being heavy, and of being made fun of for it.  I’m not having a go at the participants, or [...]

Why did Apple colossally screw up the iPod Shuffle?

On a scale of 1 to 10, the new iPod shuffle is just stupid.  (You could probably tell from the title what I want to rate it.)
Good lord.  Where to begin.  Let’s start with a disclaimer.  I haven’t touched or seen the new shuffle in person.  Deride me all you want, I don’t care.  Apple [...]

The End of the World

On a scale of 1 to 10, this video is the bee’s knees. This is one of my favorite Internet videos of all time, and I have seen it no less that 87 times. It’s an oldie, but very much a goodie. I’d put it up there with “The Website is down.”

If I [...]

Big Bang Theory’s Writers

On a scale of 1 to 10, I like the writers from the Big Bang Theory a lot.  I wrote a post awhile back regarding their theme song, penned and sung by one of my favorite bands since 1992, the Barenaked Ladies.  So clearly I like the show.  But this post is really about Chuck [...]

Similarities between Percy Jackson and Harry Potter

On a scale of 1 to 10, there seem to be a LOT of similarities between these two series of books.
Let me be clear.  I do not mean to denigrate, descry or besmirch Rick Riordan’s books (the first of which came out after the first book in the HP series) in any way.  I love [...]

The Website Is Down – Web Dude vs. Sales Guy reviewed

On a scale of 1 to 10, this video is fu#%$ng awesome.
My buddy Kurt turned me onto this video when I was down in Phoenix for a meeting.  I’ve since watched it 6 times, emailed it to seventeen people, dugg it, and enjoyed it immensely.   The gist of the video is a call between [...]

Depressing French Words

On a scale from 1 to 10, depressing French words are… well, they’re depressing.
Malaise – a general feeling of weakness in the body?  Downer.
Ennui – weakness or discontent due to boredom?  Get over it.  Start a blog.  Buy an Xbox 360.
Je ne sais quoi – a certain… “I don’t know what?”   Shut up.  Figure [...]
