Here’s why I don’t “Support the Troops”

Don’t get me completely wrong, I admire people in uniform and maintain a state of perpetual jealousy towards them with regards to the things they get to do.  However, today’s “wars” are not like the wars of the past.  They are not wars of honor and sacrifice.
In WWI and WWI you had average people thrust [...]

What’s the big deal with 3D entertainment?

The entertainment industry’s push for 3D in 2009 leaves me bewildered.  It has always been a gimmick, but Hollywood wants to make us believe that it is the future.  What do you think?
A lot of animated movies were released in 3D this year, and of those my family saw, we opted for the 2D version.   [...]

LEGO Changes BrickMaster Subscription – No Legoland Ticket!

For as long as I can remember, the LEGO BrickMaster subscription package came with a complimentary ticket to Legoland California.  And for as long as I remember, that ticket has been completely worthless to me, considering I live on the East Coast.  It never even dawned on me to sell it on eBay.  I could [...]

Magic Jack Customer Service Chat Log

Donald just submitted this Magic Jack “customer service” chat log to Ooine.com as a comment to my How to Uninstall Magic Jack post.  It’s so lengthy and interesting that it deserves its own post.

USPS Implements New Postage Scheme for Parcels

I sell stuff on eBay and other sites every so often, and my preferred shipping method is the United States Postal Service via Priority Mail.  It’s just so freakin’ convenient when you can print out postage at home and leave the package on your doorstep for pickup.  The price is normally reasonable too, until recently.
For [...]

Gawker Media Network has the WORST commenting tools

Somebody at Gawker Media Network deserves to be boxed soundly about the head and ears. I can’t believe the painful method of user commenting they have implemented for all of their sites. For those who don’t know, Gawker Media runs a bunch of wonderful sites: Consumerist.com, LifeHacker.com, Engadget.com, Kotaku.com, etc.
Their comment system is [...]

I’m Still Disgusted by Moon Landing Deniers

Whether or not human beings set foot upon the moon is NOT something you can “choose to believe in”! You can’t “make up your own mind about it”!
That’s like saying, “I choose not to believe that there was a company called ‘Trans World Airlines’”. Or… “I’ll make my own mind up about whether [...]

Why I Didn’t Like The Dark Knight

[contains spoilers]
Okay, let’s get this out of the way. Heath Ledger was awesome. Best Joker ever. Whenever he wasn’t on the screen, I was hoping he would come back.
Like Harry Knowles, my feelings about any particular movie are influenced by my current state of mind. I’ll admit that I was tired [...]
