HBO, for a few years, was home of the best original programming the small screen had to offer. But then Six Feet Under grew so annoyingly bizarre that I had to stop watching it because I disliked (or hated) every single character. I never watched Sex in the City but I guess it was [...]
Don Herbert (aka Mr. Wizard) was one of the biggest influences in my early years as a nerd-in-training being raised by the teevee. His show on Nickelodeon, Mr Wizard’s World, was one of my favorites; it was cool, it was fun, it was smart, it was educational, and it had girls my age on it…

[Note: These are notes as from last night as I watched UFC 60 on pay-per-view. I didn't bother correcting them today.]
The first fight on PPV tonight is The Ultimate Fighter Season One’s Mike “Quick” Swick against recent (and arguably undeserving) title contender Joe Riggs. Swick has gained his nickname because he has [...]
You want the Truth? You can’t handle the truth, Dub.
Addressing the reporters, he said, “Let’s review the rules. Here’s how it works. The president makes decisions, he’s the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Put them through a spell check [...]
