What is your favorite cartoon?

What is your favorite cartoon? That might seem like a weird question, but with a 3 1/2 year old in the house I’ve ended up watching a few cartoons over the past 2 years. I have to admit he’s found one that I like too. The Penguins of Madagascar is good shit. [...]

Thanks Crutchfield

I’m starting to look at TVs online for a replacement for the piece of crap we have in our living room now.  I’m thinking something around 37 inch range.  As I’m browsing through http://www.crutchfield.com I’m selecing the criteria on the left side of the page for what I want to see. I choose the appropriate size [...]

Whats with all the DragonBerries?

Having a son that is almost 3 years old I’ve seen my fair share of the Dragon Tales cartoon.  Check out some videos if you’ve never seen it.  Anyway – these dragons are always talking about getting hopped up on DragonBerries.  I always thought there was something suspicoius about one of the dragons and his [...]

Becoming a marine biologist

I’m just getting done with the stationary bike in the basement and on comes Monster Fish of the Amazon on National Geographic TV. It has taught me one thing so far:
1. Being a marine biologist would probably be a really cool job.

2. I’m allergic to fish.
So that pretty much [...]

Blinking standby light on my Sony Trinitron KV-36HS500

Hopefully I’ll be able to save someone some repair money on their Sony Trinitron TV someday. A couple days ago the standby light started blinking when I would try to turn on my TV. There would be no sound or video, just a blinking standby light. This has actually happened several times [...]

So I’m not really an electrician after all

My TV is fucked. I hate this TV – it is too damm heavy to move for even two people. And now it doesn’t work.
This happened once before, so I got some help and took it to Nodak repair. Called a a day later and the guy said it works [...]

Cable modem was out

And I was bored – with the laptop set up in the basement ready to work. It is obviously back on now and that football game is over. That was weird.

Who is your favorite cycling team?

I’ve watched enough of the Tour de France (Yes I have Versus!!!) that I actually can say I have a favorite cycling team. I thought there might be a decent chance that I don’t even know anyone else that can say they have a favorite cycling team. So do you have a favorite [...]

What the hell is ESPN Alternate for?

If my memory isn’t as fucked up as ESPN – when the pope dies the MLS season opener will be shown on ESPN Alternate. You know because 24 hours/day news coverage is required for the death of a pope.
So earlier this week I go to tune in the MLS game of the week only [...]

What is going to happen tonight on LOST?

How many LOST fans are reading? How many people quit watching LOST during the crappy 2nd season?
It has been a long time since I’ve seen an episode because they run the show for like 6 weeks a year it seems. Well in case you didn’t know it starts back up tonight. I [...]
