Renaissance 2.0
It’s been 25 years since “A Christmas Story” was released in 1983. Based on writing from the narrator, Jean Sheppard and directed by Bob Clark (from Porky’s fame!), it’s become a national Christmas classic. Much like “It’s a Wonderful Life” became a Christmas tradition thanks to reruns on television, A Christmas Story followed the same…
One of my pet peeves about the Academy Awards (there are many!) is the ridiculous anti-comedy bias the members have towards movies that are comedies and the actors that star in them. It’s almost as if they believe it’s just harder to act in a drama. Any actor will tell you that performing in a…

I did a post recently for Mashable called “40 Great Resources for Making Lists” where I covered a slew of services that bring smiles to the faces of anal retentive types like myself. As with any post on a big blog, there were a bunch of great links shared in the comments. I’ve combined my…
Google continues to improve Gmail with new tweaks and features. The recent themes addition didn’t seem like a big deal to me because after all it’s just a cosmetic enhancement, right? Wrongo!
