13 years ago, the internet was a very different place. The World Wide Web was just beginning to pique the interests of Americans, and the “Dot Com” era was beginning. Yahoo was tops when it came to search engines, e-mail, and pretty much everything else. Google didn’t even exist yet. There was no Amazon, Myspace, [...]

Bill O’Reilly thinks there’s a War on Christmas because people say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” and occasionally somewhere some genius screws up and forgets to add Christmas to a December holiday calendar. Whatever. Well, let me tell you something, Bill & friends: There’s a War on Hannukah and not only have I seen [...]
Explain this to me, because obviously I’m missing something: A teacher, who is working in an Islamic country, has a teddy bear, and lets her class vote on a name for the teddy bear. The class, being comprised of young Muslim children who have been raised to have great love and respect for their religion [...]
Dedicated to my friend RJ at TVO. Fight on, Writers Guild of America! I support your efforts to ensure that you receive a piece of the action from new media sales. You deserve it! Though I’m not a major TV watcher, as a person who always wanted to write for a television show or movie, [...]

Shuffles, Nanos, and iPods all got a makeover. Plus, as an added bonus, a new iPod was added to the line up, the iPod Touch – an iPhone [...]
I’ll admit it, small things tend to irk me quite a bit. People driving poorly, people coding poorly. Turning in “spaghetti code”, invalid xhtml or css, not turning your headlights on in a downpour. Those kinds of things. As I was driving to Starbucks to get my daily cup o’ coffee at lunch, the sky [...]
Here’s what FoxNews.com had as it’s big headline image at approximately 3:30pm (EST) on Thursday, July 19, 2007: Click for larger screen capture That’s right. “Underage Dino Sex”.
