How cool is this?

Gustav Heading For Louisiana

As all the news outlets have been reporting and as the forecast models have predicted, it appears that Gustav will strike Louisiana sometime tomorrow. I’m not certain what it will do here but given the local weather forecasts and the general path of the storm, we might get some rain out of the deal. […]

Gustav Update

I just checked the latest storm models for Gustav. It seems to me that most of those models indicate that the storm will strike somewhere along the South Central Louisiana coast. This may very well be bad news for those living in New Orleans.
It’s still too early to know for certain […]

Hurricane’s a Comin’ … Maybe

Some of you may have heard that right now there is a hurricane called Gustav somewhere in the Caribbean making its way to the Gulf of Mexico. Since the various authorities have all kinds of neat computers and loads of experience telling them where this storm may be headed, news stations all along the […]

Top Seven Must-Sees

By accident I finally discovered a full-length video of the “Top Seven Must-Sees at Walt Disney World” program that runs on the in-house cable television network in the resorts there. The show is hosted by the lovely and perky Stacy Aswad. This is a slightly older version of the show that played when […]

This is hilarious.

How do they get these commercials ready so quickly?

The Musical Box

I grew up knowing only the “And Then There Were Three” version of the band Genesis, so it’s a little strange to watch something so different. Here they are back in their younger days when when Peter Gabriel led the band.
The performance is a little off, but the video is excellent. […]

Another Politics Test

I like this one. I’m pretty proud of the way this turned out. After taking the test, there is a third graph image that shows your results in relationship to famous politicians and celebrities.

You are a […]

Dude!

Turtle Talk is an attraction at Epcot that I haven’t visited. Take a look at a nice video of Crush interacting with the audience. I’d love to see how the technology works.

Uh… I think you forgot something

I was at my local electronics and media store yesterday (the one with the big yellow tag above the doors) and purchased a couple of DVDs. In an uncharacteristic move, I decided to forgo my habit of tossing the unopened boxes onto the stack of other unopened DVDs and instead, actually unwrapped and opened […]

I’m not certain how long this has been back online, but Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is up again and can be viewed for free. 
I highly recommend seeing it.
 
 
 
 
Here’s a direct link to the video. 

Instinct Photo

As a follow-up to my review of the Samsung Instinct, here is a photo I took a few minutes ago with the phone and then uploaded to my Photobucket account.  The quality isn’t great, but not bad at all for a phone. 

Being the gadget geek that I am, I could not resist the very reasonable $130 price tag on the new Samsung Instinct phone from Sprint.  I’ve owned this nice little phone for about a month now and have a few impressions that I would like to pass along.  Much has been said about the Instinct […]
