Are You Ready For “The Look”
ShareIn TV, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It’s also the primary method of developing new TV shows. It all started with (at least for anyone under 40) with American Idol. If however, you want to argue it all started with The Original Amateur Hour, check your pulse and let me know the last time you talked to Cole Sear. In the 10 years since … Continue reading
Things I Hate – Part XXXVII
Share First of all , when I say hate, I don’t mean the all consuming, visceral, stomach churning,blood pressure pounding, temples popping, fingers pounding on the keyboard hate. It’s much worse than that. I’m kidding, it’s not that at all. My fingers are in fact dancing gingerly across the keyboard….while my stomach is churning, blood pressure is pounding and my temples are popping. Second, I don’t know if … Continue reading

It’s time to fire up the random thought generation furnace, stoke it with the fires of logic and reason and feed the creativity engine with the hot coals of hyperbolic rhetoric. It’s time to get back to work. Watch This Space for updates … Continue reading

ShareAnyone who follows soccer knows what a cruel sport it can be. We’ve seen too many games where a team will dominate only to fall short due to an opportunistic or lucky goal, or perhaps a poor or bad no call. I’m thrilled to have watched two games the past two days where justice truly was served. Yesterday, France dominated England but it was England … Continue reading
SportyPal Goes Pro
ShareIt’s been a while since I wrote about SportyPal. However, March has come in like a lamb so I pumped up the tires, strapped on my helmet and started riding. Since my last use of SportyPal, they have released a “pro” version which, unlike the non-pro version, costs money for some added features. I downloaded the “pro” version and went for a ride. Like the … Continue reading
