A New TV
Yesterday I bought a new TV from Best Buy. It is a Samsung 46 inch LED LCD TV and it is completely awesome. The thing that wasn't awesome was the buying experience. I purchased the TV (with a Sony Bra...

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica
I just finished watching the excellent series Battlestar Galactica. Now I know what all the critical acclaim was about. This was a fantastic series. I would have to rank it up there with The West Wing...
Streaming from My iMac to the PS3
One of the first things I tried doing when I got my PS3 is turn it into a media center without modding the system. I've heard of several different ways people were doing this but also heard that the P...
On Sci Fi
I've never really been a big fan of science fiction movies or shows. I hated all the Star Trek Shows and movies (except the new one that just came out) and I hate Star Wars. It is an overrated crap mo...
Blue Scholars
In my constant quest for new hip hop music I've seen one name come across my screen several times: Blue Scholars. Even though I've seen them mentioned by various underground hip hop fanboys, I've neve...

Mark McGwire
Obviously the media is abuzz with news that former St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire has admitted to using steroids. For most people this comes as no surprise. After the investigation by Congre...
Leno and Conan
During the 1990's and early 2000's I was a fan of Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. I think he did a good enough job, though his interview skills were highly lacking. I saw Letterman as an old person late...
Avatar
I went and saw Avatar in 3D over the weekend and I can sum up my experience in one word: wow. I have never seen anything like this on the big screen, or any screen for that matter. I must have been fe...

Assassin's Creed II
I recently purchased a PS3 and one of the games I purchased with it was the much-hyped Assasin's Creed II. I've never played the original but I heard great things about the sequel and the video of the...
The Most Creative Hip Hop Albums
I'm very passionate when it comes to hip hop. At times I'm its biggest advocate, and others the biggest apologist. Most of the hip hop that is played on the radio embarrasses me. That isn't true hip h...
What Happened to Network Television?
There used to be a time when network television was good. Sadly, it seems that time is fading quickly. Sure, you have a few gems here and there. Take a look at Modern Family this season. It is doing q...
The End of Movember
It is the end of Movember and I am thankful. I'm thankful to the people that donated and thankful to be able to shave the 'stache. Going a whole month without trimming was hard. I don't know how peopl...
Got Yourself a Gun
I've never been pro or anti-gun. I've just never had an opinion on it. It is a hot issue, but one I've never felt strongly about. I know that getting guns off the streets could mean less crime. I know...
Unemployment and Race
Who says corporate racism is dead? While this tool from the New York Times doesn't specifically attribute the difference in unemployment rates by race to racism, it is hard to ignore it. It is true th...
