i just realized this:
Obama’s chief of staff is a guy named Rahm Emanuel. Two interesting facts about him i learned from his Wikipedia entry:
He was the inspiration for the character Josh Lyman on Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing. My sister would know better but i believe he was pretty cool
Rahm’s brother, Ari Emanuel, is [...]
I just finished the first season of Mad Men and thought it was great. One thing i wasn’t expecting is how culturally literate it is (NY Times article).
During the season premier this year (just watched it) the main character, Don Draper, is reading a book by Frank O’Hara (Meditations in an Emergency). At the end [...]
My thoughts on the Top 10. It turns out i don’t need to post my thoughts, but Television Without Pity summed it up perfectly for me:
…when Amanda sings, I feel like I’m in a bar; when David Cook sings, I feel like I’m in a club; when Brooke sings, I feel like I’m [...]
Newspapers are on the way out. My friend Jules has been telling me this for years. I saw two more big pieces of evidence this week.
First, i read the fantastic article in Esquire called “A Newspaper Can’t Love You Back” by David Simon, the creator of The Wire. The article is a [...]

Let’s start with 1080p. There are 3 types of HDTV’s available today: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. What do these mean. The numbers refer to the number of lines across the screen, [...]
Like the genius i am, I recently unplugged my Tivo to use the plug for my cell phone charger. Well, to spare you the boring story, i ended up missing a few of my shows. I was pretty bummed. That was until i realized that now the major networks are putting many of their shows [...]
They’re finishing up the script and getting ready to remake the original pilot episode “Knight of the Phoenix” into a feature film. One thing that has been confirmed: Hasslehoff will not be in the film. Below is one of the proposed cars for K.I.T.T. (which is a Koenigsegg CCS) although the rumors are that it’ll [...]
This post is really only so i can repost the video below, which is gold baby, Gold!
Along with the rest of the world, i get pure satisfaction from watching HBO’s Entourage. It like a TV-show pixie stick – pure sugar. Some call it the Sex In The City for men, as it’s 4 guys [...]
