Google at CES

January 6, 2006

Engadget did an excellent job of providing live play-by-play.  Be sure to read their wrap-up.
To sum it up — there was a Video announcement (premium content for about $2/show will be available in the near future for download thru Google Video), but contrary to my earlier report, it didn’t have anything to do with Google [...]

Apple TV

January 6, 2006

If this prediction of Apple’s Macworld announcement is true, then I get to say "I called it" and I’m pretty sure that means I earn my Web 2.0 wings, or something like that.

Daisy Does America

December 6, 2005

Because being the geniuses they are, Courteney Cox and David Arquette just knew that people would love Ali G and the Daily Show ripped off by an unfunny Brit.
Can’t wait!

New StatTracker

December 5, 2005

Sure, it’s 3 months late.  But it sure it shiny.  All in Flash, with some nice animations and fairly quick load times.  Still some bugs to iron out, but pretty nice.  Would have been awesome to have from the start.
But better late than never, Yahoo!  Now can you give my team a few more points, [...]

Must-have Apple toy of Christmas 2006

October 21, 2005

Since we know the iPod Video is now the defacto "MUST HAVE" from Apple for Christmas 2005, time to start the predictions for ‘06.  I got one, and one only….the Apple flatscreen TV.  They’ve basically already got one, remote control and all–it just doesn’t have a tuner built-in yet, and you’d have to remove stand [...]

October 17, 2005

Funniest Belushi-related post of the day:
EVERYBODY PLEASE LISTEN UP TO THIS IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
DO NOT spoil tonight’s episode of According to Jim
if you see me tomorrow. I did not watch it. In fact, I haven’t watched
any of the episodes for this season yet. I finally finished my season
four DVDs last night after staying up all night, [...]

Welcome our new friend: Google Adsense

September 30, 2005

In case you noticed–I added Google ads to every story page.  Not sure I can talk about them much, since Google is a little Fight Clubbish about Adsense…but just wanted to let you know that they had been added, as I do some experimentation with just how they’d perform on an unfocused, multi-subject blog like [...]

Tonight’s Arrested Development

September 26, 2005

Ok, so I know it’s the first of Charlize Theron’s 5-episode run on Arrested Development.  And it’s the beginning of a big season for them, so they’re trying to run with the added starpower of Ms. Theron and make the show as fun as possible, for as big an audience as possible.  But tonight’s episode [...]

ACL2005: Best Oasis Rip (tie)

September 26, 2005

Kele Okereke, Bloc Party (at ACL – Saturday night):
Thanks you’ve been great, Austin.  This is our last song.  But you’ve all got Oasis still to endure, I mean, enjoy.  (crowd laughter)  Fittingly enough, this song is about arrogance.

Jeff Tweedy, Wilco (at Stubbs – later Saturday night):
So we’re staying in this hotel…and Nels (Cline) tells me [...]

Back from Austin City Limits 2005…

September 26, 2005

I know, one big recap might be nice, for organizational purposes.  But
honestly, after three days, a ton of bands, food, and 100+ degrees
everyday, I have come to a conclusion–it’s impossible to cram it all
into 1 post.

Morgan Ensberg: My Hero

September 21, 2005

Morgan Ensberg — USC alumni (and member of the 1998 College World Series-winning team), Phi bro and now, Pennant Race X-Factor:
Houston ranks 13th in the NL in runs scored and its lineup appears downright anemic when Ensberg doesn’t play. The Astros are 20-12 when the 2005 Hank Aaron Award finalist homers and 39-18 when he [...]

It’s Happening, Isn’t It?

September 20, 2005

Best line (said by George-Michael Bluth) from a solid season premiere of Arrested Development last night.
Jim Cramer in week 1…how can you follow that up?  Oh yeah, with Charlize Theron and Scott Baio.
Oh, and don’t forget to visit Oscar Bluth’s blog: ImOscar.com.  No RSS feed, but I’ll cut him some slack; after all, he’s in [...]
