Has it come to this? [OMG! ESPN has jumped the shark]

The day ESPN starts reporting on Brett Favre’s text messaging is the day that I stop believing in modern journalism. Hmm, that didn’t take as long as I thought.

Welcome back, Mariners baseball

With Opening Day of the 2008 baseball season just around the corner, many fans are celebrating the return of our national pastime. They miss the crack of the bat, the powerful home runs, and the riveting pitchers’ duels.
I miss watching the Seattle Mariners lose.
Obviously, I am not like most baseball fans. [...]

TGIF: More Mystery Science Theater

In this clip, the guys make fun of a Gumby short film. Classic.

Project Winner is literally no surprise

For some reason, Project Runway is on at 11:00pm here every week. So instead of watching it live, we end up taping the show and watching it the next day. For the majority of the season, this has been fine since no one seemed bent on spoiling the surprise for us.

Photoshop update: high-tech 2nd grade art

My Photoshop skills might be growing, but the artwork mess I’ve created begs to differ.

Isaiah 30:15, 18

“Premonition”: I never saw it coming

The wife and I have a Tuesday night tradition where we go down to the local RedBox and pick out a dollar movie.  Normally, we greatly enjoy the process, and we are pleasantly surprised by our choices.  However, last night, instead of giving us cinema at its finest, the RedBox machine threw up 90 minutes [...]

Kevan Lee: princess rescuer

Last weekend, I completed my three-month tour de force of Super Mario Galaxy.  Mario’s latest adventure on the Wii, which has scored rave reviews from critics everywhere, was entertaining, vibrant, and fun–with heavy doses of psyche-shattering pain.  I have to do what to the demon gopher who is trying to eat me? 
I am rather [...]
