Rejected WiiPlay Games

I thought this video was funny. These are the Nintendo Wii games that didn't make it on WiiPlay.

By the way, if anyone wants to buy me a Wii, I still don't have one. :(

The Lost Finale

I've not blogged about the TV show Lost because I don't want to fall into the huge collection of websites that kick around wild theories and analyze every detail of the show. I have to make an exception now. Could that two-hour season finale been any better? (Don't …

Jurassic 5 No More

I am very sad about this news. One of my favorite groups have called it quits. Jurassic 5 have put out quality music for years. I'm in shock that they are parting ways. I've never heard any news or rumors of problems between the members. They put out such good …

Some thoughts on my new computer

So, it's been almost a week since I got my new computer from Dell. I must say, I am not disappointed. It is so nice to have a computer that doesn't slow down to a standstill when you launch more than one program (especially with Photoshop). My computer can handle …

The Philadelphia Experiment-Grover

What do you get when you cross three great musicians all hailing from the city of brotherly love? You get one of the best jazz albums to come out in recent years. The Philadelphia Experiment was the result of a virtually impromptu three day long jam session involving …

Best Characters on TV

I only watch a few shows, and the reason I watch them is not only because of the great stories, but also because they have at least one great character in the show that you either love or love to hate. Here are some of my favorite characters on TV at the moment.

Dr. …

My new computer

I'm writing this post from my beautiful new 20 inch widescreen digital flat panel display on my new Dell. Yes, I went with a PC (and Windows Vista) for my new computer. It's pretty sweet and running so fast compared to my old computer. Some of the other specs are …

Incubus-Love Hurts

I know Incubus isn't exactly underground music so they shouldn't be one of my songs of the week, but I can't help it. I love Incubus. They make some really good music. Their album Morning View is one of my all-time favorite albums. Their newest album, Light …

Meetro

Back in February I signed up for Meetro. If you don't know what it is, "Meetro is the world's first location-aware IM client and real-time social network -- which means Meetro allows you to meet real people in your neighborhood." Meetro also supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo, …

Deltron 3030- 3030

This is an excellent song from Deltron 3030, a group comprised of Del the Funkee Homosapien, Dan the Automator, and Kid Koala. The album is a concept album that is set in the year 3030 and tells of Del's alter ego, Deltron Zero, fight against huge corporations that …

G Love- Missing My Baby

This week's song is by an artist named G Love. I know what you're thinking, that name sound incredibly lame. It sounds like a cheesy rapper from the '80's. Don't let the name fool you. G Love has been making great music for years with his band Special Sauce. His …

My Birthday

So, my birthday is coming up on April 6th. My sister Lisa keeps bugging me asking me what I want. I have no idea. There is nothing at the top of my head that I want. I have no ideas for her. I could go with the generic gift card to Best Buy or somewhere, but I …

Great Movies You Probably Didn't See

There are so many good movies that have come out that most people didn't see. It's a shame that these movies don't get more recognition or bigger releases because they are much better than what's at every corner movie theater. I mean, come on, The Hills Have Eyes 2? …

Wax Tailor-To Dry Up

I know I've done a Wax Tailor track for the song of the week before, but I had to do another one because, well, he's a damn good producer. Also, because his new album, Hope and Sorrow, comes out today. I have the album and, while it's not as good as his near-perfect …

24 Years Ago...

24 years ago today, I was born. So was Mike Goodspeed, my old high school friend. So make sure you wish him a happy birthday as well. Tonight we're going to the Big Bang piano bar in downtown St. Louis.

Television Gluttony

While in college I never really watched any traditional programming. I was either too busy working, writing papers, studying, or going out to watch programs on TV regularly. Since out of college, I have become a glutton with TV. Don't get me wrong, I don't spend all …

J. Davis Trio-Orange Alert

The song of the week this week is by a great jazz and hip hop band from Chicago called the J. Davis Trio. They are an excellent band and their album, The New No. 2 is fantastic. Go check them out at their site here. Their sound is smooth and laid back jazz with some …

A Literary Legend Passes

A literary legend has passed. Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. died last night. He was 84 years old. Slaughterhouse-Five, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, and Breakfast of Champions were my favorite books by Mr. Vonnegut. I happened to be re-reading Breakfast of Champions this week. …

Didn't Get It

I didn't blog about it before, but a few weeks ago I had an interview with the principal of a new high school that was built and will be opening in the fall. They had one position for Social Studies. I didn't get the job. So, I'm still searching far and wide.
