Allison passed me a link to a video about the comparisons between Barack Obama’s campaign for President of the United States and the fictional Santos Campaign on the TV show The West Wing via email today. I have mentioned that I’m a fan of The West Wing before. I didn’t necessarily agree with […]

In a recent IBM commercial, the company implies that virtual worlds are a fad and, as a result, a waste of both time and money. For those who haven’t seen it, the commercial starts with an employee showing off his avatar to someone else, presumably a boss. The employee is all pumped about […]

A few months ago, I made a few predictions about the CNN - YouTube Democratic Debate. This past week saw the CNN - YouTube Republican Debate actually come to pass. I have to say that I was disappointed. One of the predictions I made was that there would be 30,000 videos submitted. […]

It is so good to see Battlestar Galactica again. There’s something very special about this series and it was present in large measure in this movie. For anyone who might have missed it, it will be out on DVD on 4 December, 2007. Also, here’s a teaser preview:

There were a lot of political machinations that were going on with his […]

I just got done watching the CNN - YouTube Democratic Debate and was blown away at how well the format worked. I think there are a lot of things about current American Politics that would disappoint the Founding Fathers, but this format for the debate certainly wouldn’t be one of them. The format […]

Well, the new TV show on the Iraq war called “Over There” is going to be on tomorrow (well, tonight since I stay up too late). I’m not sure what to think about this. I haven’t really fallen into much of the hype, but it appears as if it’s very highly anticipated by […]

It’s West Wing week on Bravo! They claim to be showing West Wing reruns all day and night, but they don’t have one one right now. Either way though, I’m hopeful for tomorrow since it seems like they are doing West Wing episodes all day long. This could mean that every lunch […]

So the Pacers are up 2-1 in the first round versus Boston thanks in large part to, you guessed it, Reggie Miller. Game four is tonight in Indianapolis. I’d love to be going. It seems like a sure win since Antoine Walker was booted from the last game and suspended from this […]
