When I was younger, I could have sworn every Dunkin Donuts was open 24 hours a day. Everyone remembers those commercials with Fred the Baker talking about how it was always “time to make the donuts.” Daytime, nighttime, always making the donuts. But lately, it seems being open 24/7 is more the exception than the rule. That sucks and here’s why. »»More

So after however the hell long it’s been that we haven’t had any new episodes of anything on TV, I was wandering around the ‘ol digital cable lineup… and came across BBC America on Demand. (If you’re in CNY, it’s channel 555.) Just for the hell of it, I looked to see what was there, and discovered a few episodes of the original version of “The Office.” »»More
What the heck happened to Mad TV? I never really caught onto Mad TV when it started, because it’s on at the same time as SNL, and for the past several years, SNL was too good to miss. But over the past year or so, I “discovered” Mad TV in reruns on Comedy Central… and eventually made a habit of catching the new episodes. You can’t go wrong with Frank Caliendo playing Rod Roddy and Michael McDonald as Bob Barker. Or even better, Michael McDonald’s popular Stuart character (shown at left). But this season, even before the Writers Guild strike, Mad TV has just flat-out sucked. »»More
Just for fun, Kelly entered Shug into the “Bissell Most Valuable Pet” contest. Winner gets their face plastered all over the packaging for some new vaccuum cleaner they’re coming out with. Voting ended on the 19th — thanks to everyone who took 30 seconds to click the link I had here to cast a vote for Shug!
I promised earlier to post reviews on the video games I got for Christmas. Why has it taken me until February to review Super Mario Galaxy? Because I’ve been so busy playing it, I didn’t feel like stopping to write about it! The only bad thing about this game, is that I can’t even imagine how Nintendo could possibly top it. »»More
I never thought I’d be writing something like this. Heck, shortly after the re-birth of this website, I posted a rant about how I was so sick about Paris Hilton being all over the headlines. Usually I don’t pay much attention to celebrity news, especially the tabloid-level stuff. But tonight, I actually think the paparazzi is going a little overboard with hassling Britney Spears. »»More
Ticket re-sale website Stub Hub tells CNN that the average price for a Super Bowl ticket is $4300. But even before the scalpers get involved, the article goes on to say the tickets were originally priced by the NFL at $700 and $900. This is just out of control, people! »»More
When a computer program has a “preferences” screen… you usually expect it to actually follow the preferences you choose. Right? That’s not the case with Apple’s QuickTime for Windows — a program that apparently prefers to think for itself. And I’ve had enough of it… »»More
It’s about time! We’ve all heard of people getting tickets for driving too fast. We’ve also heard it’s “dangerous” to drive too slow — but how often do the cops do anything about it? As one Tulsa TV station reports, police in Oklahoma are just as pissed off as I am, about slow drivers in the passing lane. Check out this video (you’ll be subjected to a 15-second ad first, but it’s well worth it). I wonder how long until we can get Troopers to take the same approach to slow drivers in E-ZPass lanes!
