Craigslist is just about the most useful tool an honest, hardworking producer of video shorts could have. To make a project move, you have to surround yourself with other energetic talents, and craigslist is a wonderful way to write a few paragraphs about what you’re doing, and have some really cool (and some really freaky) [...]
J.K. Rowling created seven copies of a hand-written, hand-illustrated collection of five original fairy tales. The leather-bound , silver-ornamented books were sold at Sotheby’s to raise money for charity. It would be quite the extravagance, of course, but how cool would it be to own one of the seven copies of that book?

I finally just saw the movie Once. Critics and bloggers I trusted wrote that it is one of the best films to come along in a years. They weren’t lying.
Much is made in the television industry lately about the changing face of advertising, and how in our progressively time-shifted world, companies don’t feel comfortable buying television commercials in the ways they once did.

If ever there was a sign that today’s youth is in danger of cultural brain rot, the trend in “comedy” that has included Date Movie, Epic Movie, and now Meet the Spartans is it.

Sadly, it’s a leap year, so there are still 366 days. However, at noon, a year from now, we get someone new. It can’t happen soon enough.
I keep searching for funny comedy out there on the net. It’s surprisingly few and far between. If you’re looking for humor beyond monkeys getting kicked in the nads*, a fuzzy scene stolen from a 1993 episode of SNL, or youtubes of boarding school kids lipsynching to someone else’s youtube, you’re gonna have to search.

It’s the small victories that count best, right? In the months since I bought a cheap laptop to use as a second computer, I have been frustrated with Microsoft Vista and its… well, it’s everything. I don’t like to be one of those people who sits around complaining about things like operating systems. How cool [...]
My blog and I hit milestones together. Yesterday was my birthday, and a few hours into the next day I’m writing this, my 200th blog entry. Thanks to those out there who check in. I’d love to hear what brings people to this site. Are you a fan of reviews? TV talk? My take on [...]
