Eurovision - The Europeon Idol before American Idol
I must confess I never heard of Eurovision until recently. It is a huge annual European singing contest which attracts hundreds of millions of viewers. To give you some idea how big this is, American Idol, the top rated show in the U.S., draws about 30 million viewers each week - a small audience compared [...]
Out of the Box - for the best game commentary and links
One of my favorite contributors to one of the best tech blogs on the net: Engadget, is Ross Rubin. He’s had his blog for a while, but I never managed to get my mouse all the way over to the link which would vault me into his daily musings.
Today, I changed all that. I made [...]
Adults say the darndest things - on online TV video no less
Art Linkletter use to host a show called “Kids say the dardnest things”. It was a hoot. Linkletter use to ask kids about their moms, teachers, friends, and the kids would spill the beans.

Newsweek does its best by explaining it as his “capacity for denial”. But VoteVets.org is not so kind. General after general are featured in video ads, [...]
The Vulcan Council - Cheny, Rice, Fumsfeld, Wolfowitz - are under attack.
This is too precious to pass up. It seems that five years ago, the elite members of Bush’s foreign policy advisers came together as a group and called themselves the Vulcans, after the Roman god of fire. You’ll have to subscribe to read the link to this article at the Chicago Tribune entitled, “Now it’s [...]
China dumps tainted food into the U.S
You’ve already probably heard plenty about the tainted pet food that killed or sickened so many pets around the country. The first thought that came to my mind, when first hearing these reports, was what about the food that I was eating. China has become a massive source of almost all stuffs that we consume [...]
Rocketboom - An eccentric and strangely enticing video blog
I came across the Rocketboom video blog and couldn’t quite decide what to make of it. It so happened that the day I looked at it, the announcer, Joanne, was yawning, stretching, and making all kinds of suggestive motions. No doubt she wanted me. Other days, she was quite different. Providing news commentary and updates [...]
