A few days ago I wrote about Hulu not letting me stream Jimmy Kimmel's tribute to his Uncle Frank. Hulu only works in America, you see, and I think that's a pity. Earlier today, I received an email from Lucy who works for Jimmy Kimmel Live. During our brief exchange,
Andy Whitfield was 39. He starred as Spartacus in the cable series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand".
Dean Blundell's been tweeting today that he's thinking about packing it in soon. In fact, those are his exact words. In that tweet, he says "Thinking of packing it in soon". When someone replied with a "say it ain't so", he replied with a clarifying "I think its so sir"
You don't need me to tell you what happened ten years ago today. I wasn't going to write a "where were you ten years ago today" entry, but here it is. I'm sincerely curious what you remember about that day and where you were when you found out. Below are
I picked up the F-150 SVT Raptor yesterday morning. It's not like anything I've ever driven. It's crazy fun. Firstly, it's massive. Absolutely gigantic. It looks like you could throw a subcompact car in the back. If size matters, this Raptor is king. I'm getting out there again to see
In nine days I'm running in the Terry Fox Run. I'm aiming to raise $1500. I'm currently at $360. Donate now. If you pledge more than $20 you get a tax receipt right away. Also, I'll know you pledged my run and will always have warm thoughts about you. Do

I heard Jimmy Kimmel aired a sweet tribute to his Uncle Frank on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday. Hulu has the clip, all legal and everything, so I clicked on over... Alas, when I tried to play Tribute to Uncle Frank, I was reminded it won't work for those of us
How do you guys do it? You grab a quick cat-nap and then you're back at it, ready to tackle the remainder of the day. I've never been able to nap. If I fall asleep before bedtime, I wake up feeling awful. I just want to go back to bed
I'm still driving the Lincoln MKX lent to me by Ford. Although I thought I hated big cars, I've never had more fun driving an automobile. It's also been the largest car I've ever driven, but that's about to change. Ford saw me make that claim, and offered me an

It's the last long weekend of the summer. This is your chance to let it fly. Whatever your beef is, smear it below!
I've always preferred smaller cars. In fact, when it comes time to replace my '99 Protege, I'll likely look at the subcompact class. I'll probably end up with a Fiesta or something... I probably won't end up with a Lincoln MKX, but that's what Ford has me driving this week.
YouTube user shuanclayton took a series of 1950's and 60's-era coffee commercials from the Prelinger Archives and edited them down to just the moments when the guys were the biggest jerks to their wives about coffee.
