January 23, 2014 I love Jimmy Kimmel. He reminds me of Johnny Carson and Bill Cosby especially when he's doing skits with kids. This particular video from Jimmy Kimmel Live is from last summer, but I just ran across it and was in tears by the end.
History has always portrayed being geeky as an immense, life-crippling negative experience (at least in high school). However, today, the term "nerd" or "geek" appears to have morphed into a new meaning: one of power, intelligence, and, believe it or not, popularity. With powerhouses such as the Nerdist network, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and pretty much every hipster reading a graphic novel through his or her oversized novelty glasses, geeks are on top of their game today.
January 21, 2014 People in their 20's might have a difficult time imagining a world where all the information is not at their fingertips. This news report from 1981 puts into perspective just how much progress technology has made over the past three-plus decades.

January 17, 2014 Wednesday (Jan. 15th) was the premier of Duck Dynasty on A&E and it seems to have lost some of it's luster. Last year's premier garnered huge ratings for the show, people couldn't wait for it. However, this year, viewership was down substantially.

January 14, 2014 I saw the new Staples commercial the other night and had a good laugh, kind of like the first time I saw the K-Mart commercial about free shipping. Staples is leaving the 'L' out of their new ads asking 'What the L?' when people notice.
January 14, 2014 I'm a little happy and a little sad to find out that one of my favorite shows on TV will soon be ending; the bright side is there will be one more season before that happens. HBO's 'The Newsroom' is one of the smartest shows on television, in my opinion. I love the cast, the content, and the thinking you do when watching.
A look at the cast members from the classic show 'The Little Rascals' as they looked during the series and how they do now.
Here's a tribute to anime, specifically Hayao Miyazaki's films, from 'The Simpsons.' Get ready to be hit with a wave of awe and whimsy.
There was a whole lot of news that came out of 2013. And, as you might expect, a whole lot of news bloopers were made. Here are some more of the year's best.
Director Michael Bay had a bit of a meltdown after a teleprompter failed during a presentation of Samsung's new 150-inch TV at CES in Los Angeles.
