…because I can. I’m sitting in the back of a sedan, on my way to a hotel somewhere on Long Island (NY), capping a rather hellish day of travel, thanks to repeated cancellations and delays. But, hey, at least I made it here. And if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. […]
Yes — we are having a full-blown thundersnow storm even as I type this. Mind you, no snow at all was forecast for tonight, at least not here in the front range (the plains east of the Rockies here in the Denver area). But we’ve had a full inch or so of snow fall in […]
If you read the net much at all (and you must, or you wouldn’t be here), you’ve seen the photos making the rounds: a company in Germany offers a cheeseburger in a can: Well, at last, some brave soul over in Germany actually tracked one down, bought it, cooked it (you boil the can in […]
Now it’s Google — the absolute favorite of Wall Street — that’s getting hammered: More than $11 billion (£5.5 billion) was wiped off the market value of Google late last night as the internet darling missed sales and profit targets after years of defying gravity. The performance over the final three months of the year […]
…the more it’s deja vu all over again. Or something: Watch it quick before YouTube gets a take-down notice. I don’t know who Steve Adams is (though you can see his website here), but the sentiment of the video is strikingly apt. Hat tip to (wait for it) Mormon Mommy Wars. . UPDATE: You can […]
All the way back in August, I raised concerns about another tech bubble building in light of the valuation of VMWare shooting up to nearly $20 billion on the day of its IPO. Of course, VMWare’s market cap continued to climb, sitting at a high of $30 billion as recently as a few days ago. […]
There’s a reason why we Americans still have an inferiority complex when it comes to British diction, erudition and (to a certain extent) humor: Can you name one, even one member of the US Congress who could write and deliver a speech such as the one given by William Hague above? Sigh. Hat tip to […]

Having taken about 15 months to get to the 100,000-hit mark — and reaching that largely due to our coverage of the San Diego fires in October 2007 — we’ve now reached the 150,000-hit mark in just 3 months. I’d like to think that it’s due to the quality and mix of our entries here. […]
Having seen and reviewed “I Am Legend” (2007) last month, and having re-read the original novella by Richard Matheson, I thought I’d watch the two earlier movies based on that same novella: “The Last Man on Earth” (1964) with Vincent Price, and “The Omega Man” (1971) with Charlton Heston. I now have a much, much […]
