Behold the Ritual Clearing of the Tabs
Yup, it’s that time again: When I look at Chrome and realize, “Wow, I have a lot of tabs open to stuff.” :: On the oldest book in the world printed with movable type, and it’s not the Gutenberg Bible: The … Continue reading

March on Teevee!
So, what did we watch in March? :: We went to see Casablanca on the big screen, which makes it by definition the best thing we saw or watched in March. As Casablanca is my second-favorite movie of all time, the only … Continue reading

Viewing Diary: February
Here are some random notes and thoughts on things we watched in February: Teevee: If you’re not watching Abbott Elementary, I really don’t know what you’re doing with your life. I was getting kind of tired of the whole “workplace documentary” … Continue reading

50 years of coming on down….
Apparently The Price is Right is 50 years old, which kind of blows my mind. I don’t know why, since it was my favorite game show as a kid* and I’m 50 years old. I’ve seen a few episodes of the show … Continue reading
Figure out a new funny.
For years, Ken Levine has done a “summation” post of the annual Oscar telecast, full of pithy humor. I don’t normally do much more than skim these over, because I don’t watch the Oscars and therefore I never have the … Continue reading
