bees...bee


A little ironic that CNN's story about a bee attack is flanked by an HP ad with a bee on a postcard.

no parachute



7:30am in the east coast now. The guy is supposedly going to demonstrate the technique but will parachute the rest of the way. Saving the actual attempt for the future.

Why do I have feeling he is going to do the actual no parachute attempt now on live tv. He is a daredevil.

Update: 8:32am... heavy fog is delaying the attempt. Still time for it to happen.

9:19am... he's about to do it... but I have to head to work. I'll check the news later. I forgot the plan calls for a special landing 'runway'... so perhaps this is just a demo.

The Oscars

MOVIES / AWARDS SEASON
‘No Country for Old Men’ Wins Oscar Tug of War
By DAVID M. HALBFINGER and MICHAEL CIEPLY
Published: February 25, 2008
“No Country for Old Men,” Joel and Ethan Coen’s chilling confrontation of a desperate man with a relentless killer, won the Academy Award for best picture.


Nice win by Diablo Cody for Juno. While I miss Billy Crystal's openings, Jon Stewart was funny enough and overall liked the show.

But... in the tributes to those who passed away... they had Heath Ledger but not Roy Scheider? You've got to be kidding me.

While one will always remember Roy Scheider from Jaws, his appearance in 2010 is one of my favorites.

let it snow let it snow let it snow


Actually substantial amount of snow coming down. Again I don't question that it can make things hard for people, but I do like seeing the snow.

all year round...

As truly 'on demand' programming comes to be, the right way to go... now if they could have more shows like the reimaged Battlestar Galactica and less Ford commercial new Knight Rider... don't get me wrong I like the new Mustang and other Ford cars but man was the new Knight Rider show one huge commercial.

NBC Universal’s move to a year-round schedule of staggered program debuts could alter an American cultural cycle that dates to the days of radio.
