I love going to the movies, especially during the holidays when there are so many good ones to see. I also love gettign to the theater beforehand so i can watch the trailers of movies coming out in the future. Personally, i hate trailers that tell too much about a movie and basically [...]

Cell Phones on Air Planes

I just read this on CNN that Emeritus Airlines will allows people to talk on their cell phones throughout a flight.  I think this is great although it would be pretty annoying when you’re trying to sleep and the person next to you is fighting with their mom.

Dead Men (and Horses) in DC Parks

Living in DC, we get our fair share of circles to drive around. On many of them there are statues of war heros. I rarely check out who they are and what they did, but ever since i read this little fact i’ve been much more interested:
If a statue in the park of [...]

Michel Gondry is More Man Than All of Us

I loved the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I thought it was one of the more underrated films of the past 5 years. Michel Gondry, the director and co-writer (with Charlie Kaufman) has also done some fantastic music videos. Basically, i think he’s awesome. However, that did not prepare me for [...]

What I Would do to Fix AOL

I saw the annoucement last week (and news stories) of the new AOL CEO, Randy Falco, and got to wondering, if I’m in charge of running AOL which is now in the business of monetizing traffic to AOL.com and other pages, how would i do it? A few thoughts came to mind….
First, i would [...]

Second Life’s Got Homeless Too

Unless you’ve been living under a stone you’ve heard of Second Life - the virtual world where real people in real places can make virtual people and virtual places. Real people and companies have been flocking to it over the past few months. Now i read that there’s the first homeless guy in [...]

Boom Goes the Dynamite

There’s a good article of the potential of YouTube in Wired this month.  From that article, they mention this video (below).  it’s a great segment of a novice sportscaster giving us the news, sort of.  He’s nervous, awkward and totally hilarious.  The best part is in the middle of his debacle he pulls out a [...]
