I should be used to this by now. High-quality television shows being canceled at their height. Ethan Suplee who plays Randy on "My Name is Earl" , confirmed the cancellation of the show via his @ethansuplee twitter account.

The show entered prime time with a bang in 2006, winning a few awards and praises, yet ratings dwindled after that. The show will not be returning for the 2009-2010 NBC Thursday line-up. Between "Arrested Development", "Pushing Daisies", and I'm sure with "Better Off Ted" to follow, "My Name is Earl" will enter the same fate of cancellation at near heights. Read more »

Cassettes were my first form of audio enjoyment. I had Billy Joel and Michael Jackson tapes at an early age and quickly grew into Guns n' Roses, Metallica, and Ozzy tapes. I'm sure I collected about 50 tapes that I played on a My First Sony mini-boom-box with one speaker, until I bit the bullet and bought a CD player.

Now I own maybe 10 cassettes, which have accumulated dust, 300+ CDs, and roughly 100 vinyl albums. I do believe that I still have a Metallica "Garage Days Re-visited" cassette, which is rather rare. Read more »

My roommates have brought back from the dead, an old AMD Semron 3200+ computer and installed an extremely streamlined Windows XP installation to be used as a media server alongside our 60" DLP TV. Since I have Netflix I instantly added their instant play service and stumbled upon "The Whitest Kids U Know", a sketch comedy show.

We laughed instantly. Some of the best sketch comedy I've seen since "Kids in the Hall". The show is currently on IFC, but started on Fuse. You can watch teh first and second seasons on Netflix streaming service. Below is just a taste: Read more »

Last night's Tonight Show w/ Conan O'Brien featured Samuel L. Jackson. Conan discusses Jackson's unique ability to add class and elegance to swear words. A clip of a network television version of Snakes On A Plane is shown with Jackson using the term "Monkey-Fighting" in lieu of "Mother-Fucking". Read more »

Several times a year, my good friends in The Dropa Stone, a Orlando based Progressive Rock Jam Band, ask me to film a set.

They recently posted Sandcastles from their December 4th show at Backbooth, Orlando. I ended up taking the first four songs, including this one, from this night and used it in their press kit DVD. Read more »

A few months ago I re-uped on a bulk pack of Mach 3 razor cartridges at CostCo. I go through about two razors a week if I shave everyday, and want to avoid cuts and razor burn. At 5 cartridges per bulk pack, 5 razors per cartridge, that's 25 razors per pack. Each pack is about $35. Essentially, that means I need to purchase about 4 to 5 packs a year, a minimum of $140 a year. Sorry for all the math. Read more »

I was discussing with my friend Katie on Sunday at Lazy Moon over a slice an several pitchers, and of course I brought vinyl records up. Our conversation drifted into whether the recent surge of vinyl sales was due to the younger generation actually accepting this medium, or if it was just a fad. Read more »
