Tuesday, December 6th, 2011“To die will be an awfully big adventure.” – Peter Pan Obviously, J. M. Barrie never worked in Hollywood. Even better, he did not live to see cable television or the abomination of a television miniseries that squandered all the joy, imagination, and wonder of his creation, Neverland. The SyFy miniseries Neverland is neither an [...]
New Discovery Channel lineup: Mythbusters, Penn & Teller
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011The Discovery Channel got lucky back in 2003 when they went with the television series Mythbusters. A geeky program that mixes explosives, science, and common rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos and news stories. It’s a combination that has propelled the cable network to greater exposure and a loyal fanbase. Almost 10 years down [...]
A change in tradition, a loss of an icon, but a hope and purpose that is unwavering
Sunday, September 4th, 2011There are traditions that you expect to see. Fireworks on the Fourth of July. Christmas Trees on Christmas. The glittering ball dropping in Times Square on New Years Eve.

Truth you won’t ever see in advertising
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011I love the following video. Not only because I think online investing for the average person is the best way to destroy retirement funds, but because E*Trade (and the other online trading companies) gloss over the reality of the market in every commercial they put out there. It’s about time we get a taste of [...]
Fallen Skies season ending episode
Monday, August 8th, 2011The sci-fi television series Fallen Skies has been a beacon in the dearth of shows available thoughout the summer so far. It has touched on many issues, and provided quality that is rare for most modern sci-fi shows. The much heralded 2-hour season ending episode sought to draw attention, and resolve some questions, bit it [...]
Daily Show letdown
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011Jon Stewart is a funny guy. His Daily Show has successfully stayed on the air because it skewers politicians being politicians. In fact, it is so good, some people watch it instead of actual news. Sad that people want to be misinformed, but a testiment to his vision and the efforts of his writers. The [...]
