  • Poor Ken Jennings, but was Jeopardy rigged?

    He had a good run, but his Jeopardy streak ended tonight at 74 consecutive wins and $2.5 Million. Congratulations to Nancy Zerg for winning.

  • HUMMER Commercial

    I’m a little disappointed Ratatat had to go and sell their song, Seventeen Years, to HUMMER. Update: Maybe I was a little harsh. It’s mostly because I think civilian Hum-Vs are lame. Hopefully they at least got a lot of money for it.

    I moved to Audubon and my computer might not be hooked up to the net until Friday. I need it to update the games at midnight, so until I get things set up the rounds will end about 8 hours later than planned this week (8:00AM the next day). The new house is great. My…

  • The Incredibles

    I went to see the Incredibles on Friday and I loved it. Pixar’s track record is unreal with 6 great movies, but the Incredibles is their best work yet. The sappiness of some of their previous films, especially Monster’s Inc. and Finding Nemo, was almost absent. The story was funny, stylish, and not strewn with…
