Things that can go the way of the dodo in 2010, part 1

I’m not one to make predictions being that I have such an abysmal record. For instance, “Nobody will ever stop reading the actual newspaper and get their news on the Internet.” Or, “Who wants a phone/calendar/PDA all in one, that’s dumb.” Jodi, the great prognosticator. It’s my penchant for picking the exact opposite of what [...]

Snarkapotamus

The Dawson’s Dilemma rages on. I just sent this rather angry e-mail to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment: I will send back my box set because I don’t think it’s right that I paid for something that doesn’t work.

I am so glad I am not 20 anymore

Hi, I am a 20-something knucklehead who is pissed off when the world doesn’t revolve around me like it should, and this makes me get all bitter because a bunch of 30somethings went to go see another bunch of 30somethings play rock and roll at a time that was not convenient to me. Wah! Instead [...]
