I’ll be eating an angus beef burger in the meantime. There isn’t much I know about 19year-old actor Angus T. Jones, other than he’s on a show I forgot still existed and Charlie Sheen was the star of until he went bat shitz crazy last year. I vaguely recall reading a few years back how … Continue reading
Twitter is used in a bevy of great ways (journalists using it to engage readers and even to find story ideas, leads and contacts ), an assortment of interesting ways, a slew of unexpected ways (couple turns to twitter to help them adopt a baby), and every now and then a handful of down … Continue reading
Hey if you can wash your hair without water, it only seemed logical that sooner or later someone would figure out a way to bathe themselves without water. Not that is sounds like a pleasurable option. But a possible option now it is. Through the Dell Social Innovation Challenge DryBath was invented. I have … Continue reading
If any press is good press because it keeps people talking, than the Bible must be doing its thing pretty well. Seeing as all these years later the world remains in a chatter over it’s contents. A world where Bible plots remain out of the big and little screen, is a world that simply doesn’t … Continue reading
All month I’ve been fundraising to get the money I need to purchase the tools I need to launch my podcast project. At first glance I’ve been a podcast beggar.

For those moments when music isn’t hitting the spot, watching the boob tube not an option, or audio book listening focus isn’t gonna happen.Insert the podcast. Informal or not, what’s your flavor? I myself listen to several podcasts. Why because frankly they’re handy! I’m out and about A LOT, and I’m sure many of you … Continue reading
You’ve never listened to a podcast before? That’s okay, you’re not alone. But more than a few million people here and there on both sides of the Pacific have seen the beauty in it. Allow me to put things in perspective (because I know my dad in Kansas, and younger sister in Tennessee, aren’t the … Continue reading

How does $FREE.99 sound? Most if not all, podcasts are free. All podcasts on the iTunes Store are free… NPR’s podcasts are free for you to use, but expensive to produce and serve… The great news for you is, aside from the fees it costs each host to put up their content, that content is … Continue reading
Have You Heard About This?
- Next time you see a missing pup or kitten on your block, forget asking around and responding to missing pet posters. Just go ahead and lie to your neighbors face when they come sad face knocking on your door—and sell that wandered-onto-your-property animal on Craigslist! Word of the wise though, if you have a young child in the house, clarify with them that they DON’T understand what you’re doing. Otherwise you might find yourself in trouble the way these parents did when their 5-year-old spilled the beans on their animal selling scheme. To read more of the details of this Pittsburg incidence, click here.
- I whip my hair back and forth, because it’s a hard knock life? More like shaking my head at Hollywood’s laziness trend in rehashing old plots, verses putting work into creating brand new ones. These days I’d just as well take a prequel or another sequel over another reboot, because remakes are sending my beloved cinema to an early grave. Does a spoonful of bankable star power make the remake go down? You tell me. Will Smith wants us to think so as he goes out on a very short limb, to bring forth a Jay-Z musically composed, Emma Thompson written, retooling of “Annie’. Right on the heels of the orphan Annie 30th DVD anniversary. Related articles Emma Thompson invites Jay-Z to tea (thesun.co.uk) Jay-Z's Annie to shoot in spring (bbc.co.uk)
- In flight entertain refers to the entertainment on a flight. Duh. I've flown a lot, but apparently I've been boarding the wrong jet fueled engines. Here I am thinking the online raffle ticket games, and on demand cable TV programming options are good enough block my complaints about the lack of free honey roasted peanuts, and the lame carry on luggage charges. But what I didn't get, were any options to watch an in flight fashion show! see video of vietjetair's show A Vietnamese airline recently did, and granted it was a bikini fashion show (pass), and they were fined for it, but still!! Still that's taking it up a notch and bringing more fun to the skies I've always called friendly. Still as in, I still missed the banana republic/virgin America high above the clouds on flight fashion show last spring too! Clearly racking up the frequent flier miles is more enjoyable than it use to be. Check out http://www.terminalu.com 's top 6 list of best flight experiences. Spoiler alert!!! They involve book your own chefs, showers on board, and wine tastings- just to name a few of the activites... (#jealous, #airenvious)
