Question. What kind of bear is best?

Last night’s “The Office” episode has been completely transcribed for your Friday AM enjoyment.
Tina Fey ‘live-blogged’ during “30 Rock. It was more like a Q&A session that’s kinda bland and missing her biting ‘wit’.

The most expensive movies ever made — Spiderman 3 is rumored to have cost around $300 million. $300 MILLION!

I’m eating stuffing [...]

simply weather & capt. crusher

Do you remember me raving like a lunatic about Weather.com?

Mmmmmm…apples

I was thinking about taking pics of the big unboxing event, but … I just don’t have that kind of patience.

A tribute and a lil’ Hendrix

CNN tributes the victims at Virginia Tech. This girl, Maxine Turner went to high school right down the street from where I grew up.

Was anyone else’s internet broke last night? I couldn’t get onto about 70% of the sites I needed to reach, yet the other 30% worked fine — like THIS rock. Seriously, computer [...]

Holy crap, I bought a Mac!

Can you believe I”ve worked with them for nearly 15 years but I’ve never have actually owned one? Well, yesterday evening on apple.com, I chose the specs for my sweet new black MacBook. It arrives in less than a week. Who’s excited? Marty Z’s excited.

Who is Frank Rossitano? Why he’s none other than Judah Friedlander’s character on “30 Rock”. And why do I bring him up? Because I have here, in my hands a very special link. A link to the entire collection of Frank Rossitano hats worn on “30 Rock”. Here. I’ll give it to you. Enjoy it. [...]

Big Headline Here

After learning about yesterday’s tragedy in Blacksburg, I have that same sort of helpless, depressed, ‘what-a-crazy-f’ing-world-we-live-in’ feeling I had six years ago around Sept 11.
Authorities haven’t released the complete list of the victims, but a student named Bryce was liveblogging the whole mess and and has shared online a list of 14 of the [...]
