So I have a birthday coming up and I don’t have a next-gen console. I own a Dreamcast, PS2, and PSP and my household also has an NES, SNES, and N64. My couple-year-old HDTV is aching for some more HD goodness and I must do what my electronic devices ‘want’. The TV talking to me [...]

Barack Obama Rally Bloomington, IN
So I shot video of most of the speech. UPDATED: Link to my video of the rally. Have photos on Flickr too. Rob Riggle (from the Daily Show) was there as well. I paid attention to him and the bouncing gigantic beach balls until Senator Obama finally arrived. The line(s) to get in was pretty [...]

How common are crazy plane landings?
There was a video on YouTube recently of another commercial flight with insane crosswinds landing successfully. How common are landings like this? Are they far more common than one might think and the sheer number of cameras in the world are just now showing us these incidents? These pilots are great. They need to get [...]
Trancers: crap-tacular sci-fi
From the makers of “Puppet Master” comes a movie that is even worse. The acting is horrible, stunts laughable, effects cheesy, and acting abismal. If that if your cup of tea, rent “Trancers”. I had not seen it until today and man do I wish I had not, but at least I now have the [...]

Facial Hair: O what time changes
Looking into the mirror after a fresh hair clip and shave today, I couldn’t help but think back (wavy lines) In high-school I was a bit down about my lack of facial hair. Unfortunately, this was one of the few things in life my ‘wishing’ worked. I now have facial hair everywhere on the sphere [...]
BBC should extend license fees to N America
It would make so much sense for the BBC to offer streaming television (IPTV) in N America. With the launch of the BBC iPlayer, we know the technology is already there. The BBC has a huge opportunity to make gigantic audience inroads. Potentially, they would be able to sell N America the same programming without having to operate any physical terrestrial broadcast equipment. Yes, they would most likely need to locate some additional server in the Americas, but the probable cost/viewer ration dropping for IP only TV, it should be a way to subsidize British TV using overseas funds. From best I can tell the annual fee for “residents of the UK pay £116.00 a year for a color TV license”. I think the biggest obstacle would be existing BBC America deals with cable and satellite. Come on BBC! I want your content (Sky too) but I don’t want nor need US cable or satellite money grubbers in the middle. Isn’t it 2008?
