To me, and it seems a lot of the research analysts in the Reuters piece, it seems like one company that’s in serious trouble [...]

I upgraded the site to the latest version of WordPress (v2.5) this morning. Let me know if you see anything weird going on.

Today is the second Tuesday of the month and for the first time in a long time I don’t care. Why? Because I purchased a Macbook a couple of weeks ago.

We received word over the weekend that Charlton Heston died in his home after a long battle with a disease similar to Alzheimer’s. The first thing I thought of was his legacy and how it would be different for each generation.

It’s good news, bad news on the LA Times entertainment blog this morning. First, the NBC schedule for next season was released and Friday Night Lights is coming back for 13 episodes! Woohoo!
