Chuck & Journeyman
I believe that NBC is currently my favorite television network. I started tuning in on Monday nights to watch Heroes, but I’ve fallen into the desire to watch the shows that surround it. Chuck is a fun show. I can predict a lot of what’s going to happen, but the premise of the show is…

Drew Carey on Medicinal Marijuana
This video is on reason.tv. Drew Carey is doing a whole project with them discussing different issues. This is what I would call a very strong case for legalizing medicinal marijuana use. What do you think?

Ubuntu 7.10 – Gutsy Gibbon
OK, so I have spent the last week strictly using Ubuntu at home. It has been quite nice learning my way through the installation and configuration. I’ve gotten the advanced desktop working – you’ve probably seen the videos online of people using it and having a cube of desktops to spin through. I’ve got DVD…

Where is Common Decency?
Over the span of my short life of 29 years, I have seen human decency fall lower than I thought it could. Respect for other people’s space, beliefs, health, privacy, property, and rights (to name a few) is almost a myth. Just 10 years ago, when someone noticed that a person didn’t cuss in their…

President’s Poll Numbers Escalate
For the second poll in a row, the President’s poll numbers have come up. This poll saw the President’s approval rating rise from 29% to 34%. When you factor in the margin of error, and the fact that the poll questions are always skewed against favoring the President, I’d say his approval rating is somewhere…

Sopranos Finale
I know it’s a little late, but I felt this since a few days after the finale. I haven’t posted it yet because I haven’t … typed it until now. There’s been a lot of talk by a lot of loud people about how much disappointment they felt from the finale. I don’t understand how…

Randy Jackson
“Yo, Dawg, check it out… that was good, I mean, I’m not jumpin’ up and down or anything, but that was pretty good… a little pitchy in the middle there, but ya know what I mean?…” Has anyone ever heard the following phrase out of Randy’s mouth? “…I’m jumpin’ up and down…” Has anyone ever…

TV This Fall
This fall we have had our fair share of good and bad television, even though we don’t have cable or satellite service. There’s more bad than good, of course; we just have less of it to watch. The good: Heroes, Jericho, Lost, My Name is Earl, Smallville, Studio 60, The Office, and Til Death. SNL…

Dancing With The Stars
I can not begin to tell you how stupid so many of these shows on television are these days. I feel myself getting dumber while watching every episode of any “reality” show I have ever watched. I do my best to limit my personal exposure to them. As good as Mario is, I have to…

Deleting Friends
I started deleting friends from MySpace. One of them asked why I kept saying I was leaving and didn’t just leave… she’s gone. I don’t care. She wasn’t really a friend anyway, just someone who wanted to date me in high school, but I wasn’t attracted enough to her to actually start anything. I know…
