It looks like VH1 is taking Behind the Music to the next level. They have a new show called Inside/Out which is: is a cinema-verite documentary series from VH1 that captures an artist or celebrity as he or she faces a personal or professional crossroads. With extraordinary access to some of entertainment’s biggest names, Inside/Out… Continue reading O.D.B. is for the Kids
10,000 Hits
I just passed 10,000 hits (actually visits… hits are a bit higher) on this blog. I’m surprised that it reached that level so fast because my other blog, Trader Mike, is almost 3 months older but only has 5,600 hits so far. I wish I could say this blog has taken off because of my… Continue reading 10,000 Hits
Kobe & O.J. Part Deux
I’ve often said that Aaron McGruder, the Boondocks’ creator, is in my head. This is why.
My Spam Filter
I finally turned on SAProxy, the spam filter in the Bloomba email program. It’s working well so far, although a few legit messages have gotten marked as spam. A very cool feature of the filtering engine (SpamAssassin) is that it tells you why it flagged certain messages. As you’ll see, failing one of the filters… Continue reading My Spam Filter
Classic Video Games

(Maybe I need to get back into writing code…) The requirements list could be built from these: Susan’s list of tools – I would love to have all of… Continue reading The Next Killer App(s)?

Kobe & the Teen Choice Awards
Like one of the guys on Sports Reporters said yesterday — why would Kobe go to anything with the words ‘teen’ and ‘choice’ in the title?
Kung Faux
My TiVo just found a new show from Tommy Boy Films called Kung Faux. (What would I do without my TiVo working so hard for me?) It’s a series of Kung Fu films over-dubbed with the voices of hip-hop artists and a soundtrack to match. The episode I just watched was voiced by Guru, Jean… Continue reading Kung Faux
Making the Band II
HardCore over at Thought 4 the Day wrote a great review of Making the Band II. This pretty much sums it up for me (except for the ‘terrible’ part): However, if you have ANY knowledge about the music industry, if you’ve ever been a performer, or worked in the industry, THIS SHOW IS A JOKE.… Continue reading Making the Band II
