Shock Waves
British actor Peter Cushing had a pretty eventful year in 1977. He was one of the only two big names in some little movie called Star Wars and he had top billing in this grindhouse/drive-in appropriate piece. Maybe it provided … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Tina
My friend and recently, fellow Apple employee (she’s in the Finance department). To celebrate, we’re all going to see the Stars beat the Milwaukee Admirals. Maybe they can extend their recent winning streak to four games but I doubt they … Continue reading

Moog
Halloween 2010 was incredibly eventful and if we didn’t go see Jose and Nancy in Dallas, it would’ve been a tough series of choices on what to do. The (satellite) Rally for Sanity, the Aeros game, the nearby Ren Fair … Continue reading

First, it’s the coupling of Apple (Computer) and Apple Records today with the Beatles catalog via iTunes. Now here’s a new portable dedicated to the Belgian painter and his iconic painting The Son of Man.

I’ve got lightning…
…in my pants. Only fans of [Adult Swim] and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law know this great joke about Black Vulcan. Also, keep your hot coffee away from Apache Chief or you’ll render his powers ineffective.

Is there a “The” or not in the band’s official name?
I’m nearing about a month of owning my iPad and I really love it as a magazine solution, maybe the term should be periodical solution. Mental Floss is one of the best deals for it. I think they understood how … Continue reading

Beulah, ND Returns: Small World VI
My site via Google attracted this person and not Facebook…for a change! The person in question is an old high school friend named Darren and I was initially notified by Picayune sending me an e-mail about his post in the … Continue reading
Number two with a bullet?
Here’s a photo I had to clear out of my iPhone from the recent Dallas trip. I think there’s numerous jokes one can tell regarding the phrase on these boxer shorts. Living in a region with scores of Mexican restaurants, … Continue reading

iPad Cake
Good thing I saved the box mine came in so Somara could have a reference and cake materials wouldn’t get all over mine.

Nowhere Boy
Finally reaching US shores this year to celebrate his 70th birthday, Nowhere Boy tells the story about John Lennon’s formative teens in Liverpool before he became the Pop music icon the West recognizes. It’s no secret that I have never … Continue reading

A belated Simpson tradition like the TV show
I figured that I could still give my two cents in November since Fox usually airs the Halloween episode well after the holiday too: The World Series is so much more interesting and important. Last year I forgot to either … Continue reading

There’s a party in the lobby!
The big Yo Gabba Gabba! show is drawing closer and to promote it, the CPC people had a display of Brobee and Muno next to the table selling tickets. I couldn’t resist getting my picture taken by it. May those … Continue reading

Happy Carl Sagan Day!
Which has prompted me to start re-watching his landmark PBS show Cosmos (all episodes are available via streaming on Netflix!), a program I loved as a kid 30 years ago. Finally, something on Public Television that wasn’t for “babies” or … Continue reading

Interpol
Pretty old news since the show was about 12 days ago and the Dallas trip kept me wonderfully occupied! Nancy and Jose were gracious enough to let me tinker on Sunday while we were watching football, a legacy of the … Continue reading

Last taping of Austin City Limits
I thought the show’s name being attached to another abattoir concert/festival was awful enough, now the PBS cornerstone will be moving to a new venue capable of “accommodating” over 2700 people. Good luck finding a place to park with it … Continue reading
