Those flashing electronic signs that I tend to ignore on the side of the road have had a few interesting messages lately. Seems that the ADDCO electronic road construction signs are pretty easy to hack and put your own message in. Recent notes to the public in addition to warnings of Zombies and Brits- “Raptors …

Push-Can’t Tell The Players Without a Scorecard
I expected Push to be a lot like Jumper, and there are a lot of similarities between the two films. Both feature good looking young people with amazing powers being chased by a bald black man. Both have exotic locations. Both make very little sense, but are still fun to watch. In Jumper the whole …
Amanda Beard Playboy Pics
In an effort to prove that the NFL is not the only place where athletes are as dumb as a bag of hammers, Michael Phelps took a hit on a bong and was photographed doing it and now Amanda Beard is posing nude for Playboy. Of course, she did pose nude for PETA during the …
Eight O’Clock Coffee is #1
Eight O’Clock 100 percent Colombian Coffee has been named the best buy at $6.28 for a pound, according to the March issue of Consumer Reports. The magazine tested and rated 19 ground coffees and put a “very good” Eight O’Clock ahead of runners-up Folgers, Maxwell House and Starbucks — the country’s best-sellers. It’s all about …

Denny’s Becomes Soup Kitchen For A Day
Denny’s Super Bowl ad didn’t feature screaming morons or stick fetching Clydesdales-no it just said Free Breakfast from 6 Am to 2 Pm on Tuesday. That was good enough to get my attention, and a lot of other people’s attention as well. When I went to Denny’s this morning around 8 Am there was a …
Reading Like a Writer
My favorite short story writers are Issac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and Philip K. Dick. These writers took the impossible and made them seem commonplace, then shoved the world off it’s axis at the story’s end. They are fun stories to read, as you never know what will happen next, but you do know something …
Reading Like a Writer-Improving Your Own Writing
My favorite short story writers are Issac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and Philip K. Dick. These authors took the impossible and made them seem mundane, then pushed the world off it’s axis at the story’s end. These are fun stories to read, you never know what’s going to happen next, but you always know something …
Superbowl Thoughts
This years Superbowl kickoff time according to NBC, which is broadcasting the game, will be about 6:00 PM EST- give or take a few minutes here and there to add a couple more of those high dollars Superbowl ads that weren’t quite up to airing during the actual Superbowl game. The 2009 Version of the …
