I think the women in pop/rock music are getting sexier and sexier. They're looking better than many actresses in many cases. I don't recall seeing so many hot women singers out at once before. I guess it shows the premium placed on looks for women singers nowadays. I give Madonna much of the credit for being the first woman singer to use sex and her sexuality
I had a chance to mess around a little with Microsoft's Vista operating system over the weekend. I wasn't that impressed with what I saw. Microsoft claims Vista is selling very well, but I know of only one person who has Vista (Vista Basic). The only reason he has it is because he brought a new computer and it came with the Vista operating system. I
I agree.
Well, here are a few more of my mini reviews for some Oscar selected movies I viewed. With this blog entry, I think I've watched and wrote about all the movie that were nominated in the category of Best Picture, but if I missed one I'll check it out later. I watched the movie “The Queen” on DVD. This movie is about the response of England's Queen Elizabeth
I guess most know that Imus the morning radio shock jock was fired for the comments he made(comments that can be found in my last blog entry). The firing has already started to quash freedom of speech, especially as far as artistic expression is concerned. Several shock jocks have been fired because one group or another complained that what these radio DJs s
Part shock jock (highly irreverent and comedic radio DJ) and serious news radio DJ Don Imus was recently suspended for two weeks from his job and the simulcast of his radio program on the MSNBC network was cancelled because he called the players of the Rutgers University predominately African-American woman’s basketball team “tattooed… nappy-haired hoes”. The
This is another review of the movies I’ve seen on DVD over the past month or so. I’m trying to see as many Oscar nominated movies as possible (with particular emphasis on the Best Picture category) but I also include non-Oscar nominated movies. I tell ya, if it weren’t for VHS tapes or DVDs many of these films I might never have seen. I don’t partic
I Saw the Oscar Awards show this past Monday. The show was okay. Ellen DeGeneres did an okay job. As with last year’s broadcast, I did not see most of the Oscar nominated movies at the theater but I have watched many on DVD. Many of the nominated movies are not in theaters now and are still not out on DVD so I’ll have to wait a little while longer if

Boy, I found these comments informative and funny.
I recently had the pleasure of troubleshooting an Apple computer Powerbook G4 (laptop computer). It had the Mac OS X operating system installed, running with a 1.33 Ghz CPU with 512 mb of DDR memory. The Powerbook was a twelve-inch screen machine with a DVD burner and GeForce FX video adapter. I had to crack an administrator account password, delete the accou
One of my micro star international mini atx motherboards seems to be going bad. The CMOS is unable to maintain time. One would notice this problem every time they logged into their system by the fact that the time would be wrong (time on operating system is usually based on motherboard time stored in the CMOS. Normally, when one’s computer looses time it is s
Apple Computer is releasing a new phone in June that really looks great. The phone to be called the iphone runs the Apple computer operating system, acts as an mp3 player and a phone. It may just be the cell phone to bridge a lot of media technologies being able to show all World Wide Web content, play movies, music and act as a phone. The interface
"An Inconvenient Truth" is not a film that is based on fiction but hard science that i have been reading about from many hard and social science specialties for several years now. I guess humankind does have the right to incinerate itself. Of course, when i say incinerate i am exaggerating but the facts listed by Al Gore in the film are not exaggerations. Countries like the United States may be able to deal with all the extreme chang
I saw the movie “Apocalypto” Saturday. The film takes place in and around the loose nit Mayan Empire at the time of the beginning of the end of this civilization. The story revolves around the orgy of human sacrifice that engulfed the empire during a time of failing crops and famine and the need to find victims for human sacrifice, which the Mayan rulers fou
I watched the documentary starring former Vice President and Presidential candidate Al Gore on global warming called “An Inconvenient Truth”. I found the film thought provoking and engaging, but I’m still glad I waited to see it on DVD. I think I mentioned before that as a rule I do not go to a movie theater to see a documentary film (maybe if the fi
I recently purchased two LCD computer monitors. There were two sales that I just could not pass up. One was at Staples on a 19inch (with speakers) Optiquest LCD monitor for 149 dollars pre tax (with a mail-in rebate). From what I’ve been seeing out there in LCD monitor prices this was a very good deal. I have been very disappointed in the p
The tabloids in New York have been having a field day with newly divorced Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and their partying in California. Headlines like “Bimbo Summit”appeared in these tabloids. I think the entertainment news rags and the gossip section of tabloids were pushing for Britney to divorce Federline. They actually label
Well, my recent change of operating systems from Windows 2000 Prof. to Windows XP Home Edition for online use has already run into problems. As I guess many already know eleven critical patches were released for most Windows operating systems this week. One critical (I emphasis critical) patch had to be rescinded by Microsoft because it didn’t meet their stan
I just brought a copy of Window XP Home Edition Upgrade. It was a step I had refused to take because of the online validation needed and the limited use of each copy of the operating system to one machine at a time. However, only using Windows 2000 was starting to put me too far behind the times, especially since Microsoft is preparing to release its new oper
I saw “Syriana” on DVD the other day. “Syriana” is about the relationship between oil, the oil (or energy) business, government and people and the intrigue that happens between these entities. The movie is a well-made tale that has multiple characters that are decently developed. Many themes are running through this story where an oil company is trying to sec
I saw “Good Night, And Good Luck” directed by George Clooney on DVD a couple weeks ago. As I found with the movie “V for Vendetta” (B minus grade), the main subject matter is very timely in this political environment we find ourselves in. The movie is about Edward R. Murrow dealing with a Senator Joseph McCarthy’s communist in government and society witch-hun
If I hear one more news report about Brad Pitt’s and Angelina Jolie’s baby, I’ll sh*t Brads and Angelinas. Its like no one ever had a baby before. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are American actors that had the distinction of being declared by People magazine as the most beautiful people on earth one year. No one knows how People magazine determines this or wh
I saw the movie United 93 today. It is about the hijacking and the events on airline United 93 during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It is a pretty straightforward dramatization of the event with very little embellishment. In this regard it is not an absolutely spectacular movie, but it does cover the events in a succinct and dramatic fashion It put
Rightwinger, I found your history of the character V informative. I did not know that. I don't think the V should be viewed as a terrorist. If you consider the government that V is attacking he is more of a freedom fighter. One could have considered the founding fathers of the US as terrorist. I think we must consider what V is fighting. I do not think the movie is celebrating a terrorist.
I will be going down to city hall or the county building tomorrow or next week to switch my Party affiliation to independent. I think I have finally found a single issue that will affect my vote. The immigration reform debate that is going on in Washington DC has crystallized an issue that can make me not vote for a candidate for political office. I thought
