Categories: Blog, Culture

I have been recently introduced to comic books, something I never was into when I was a kid. As a result, I have found myself going to various comic book stores. Going into a comic book store is a pretty alien experience for me as I don’t know a thing about comics but the experience [...]

Written by David on December 3, 2009 - 0 Comments

via engadget.com
Despite what Comcast says, I don’t like this deal, not a bit. Here is the key point:
“NBC has been careful not to put too much cable content on the Internet. We think that’s a smart strategy…

Things That Make Me Sick

Written by David on November 1, 2009 - 0 Comments
Categories: Blog, Culture

A general list and by no means complete.

Cable News: I’ve gone into this on the podcast. There is no more news left in the news. It’s all opinion and people yelling at each other. The focus is on the most sensational stories and there is no intelligent analysis. Fox News is especially hilarious when they [...]

Overeating and Five Dollar Footlongs

Written by David on July 1, 2009 - 0 Comments
Categories: Blog, Culture

Subway is a two faced advertising monster. On the one face they give us Jared, the slimed down, healthy eating role model for the world. Eat healthy, eat Subway. On the other face they are hitting hard on the five dollar footlong campaign. You think Jared got thin by eating footlong sandwiches? I think not. [...]

Small Vermont town bans public nudity.
It took an elderly man wearing only a fanny pack and wandering through the center of town last week for the Select Board to decide it had seen enough.
