This is a post about the news of the invitation of the announcement of the release of the iPad 3.  News fell yesterday that March 7 would indeed be the day the product would be available to the public.  No!  That would be the day they tell you about what’s in it and when you...

  For the second time in two months, my hard drive has crashed, leaving me to restart my desktop from before.  I backup regularly, so this never really affects me. Except in one area:  Online IDs and Passwords. Launching an Internet browser again after a hard reset is an endless torture for the online person....

  My grandfather passed away Saturday, January 28th.  The news was sudden, but his death wasn’t.  He was 85, and for the past few years, he had collected illnesses and maladies that led him to this point.  His condition had deteriorated steadily for at least three years.  It’s been a long time since I remember...

  Hey folks!  Please accept no post today, as my dog is very sick at the moment, and I must attend to him.  He is okay now and is taking medicine.  Jack shall have Jill, and naught shall go ill.  In the meantime, thank you for your readership, and as we’re trying to grow our...

5 Quick Ways America Could Gussy Itself Up

1. LA can get itself a Dunkin’ Donuts. Why is it that every other corner of this country ‘runs on Dunkin” except for the one city where people are stuck in their cars all day?  We have nothing here!  Krispy Kremes are vanishing, and all we’re left with is little taqueria-shaped donut huts that would...

I’m here to ruin your Amazon shopping experience today. You like those discounts, yes? Got a lot of Christmas presents this year from the...

I’m glad that the douchiest thing about me is that I use Axe Body Spray.  That is, I used to use Axe.  My conscience has finally gotten the better of me.  I don’t want to turn into this meme– To explain my usage of this is to come out about another dirty secret.  I perspire...

The Kate Winslet buoyed HBO miniseries “Mildred Pierce” just wrapped up it’s laborious five hours. She did her best, it had great production values (production designers! Is there any Hollywood workhorse that’s had more consistent results?), but in the end, the story did not justify it’s runtime. So, sadly, I don’t think I got much...
Hey History!

Hey History!

Eva Braun, a.k.a. Hitler’s Girlfriend, donned blackface and drag in this recently released 1937 photograph.  Racism, on top of xenophobia?  Or is this a much more fascinating tribute to the 1927 Al Jolson movie “The Jazz Singer,” which was about, among other things, maintaining Jewish tradition.  Hmmmm. Hey, History…hey.
