Been busy moving this week so tv time has been very limited. However came across this ad below. Its kind of lame, but catchy. An effective dorky jingle, and the slogan of “Go Meat” is entertaining.

Earlier this week, I commented on how the Olympics seemed to be off to an ominous start with talks of pollution, doping, and attacks. However its been a surprisingly intriguing Olympics, despite NBC’s less than stellar prime time schedule. However tonight, those who tuned in to watch Michael Phelp’s go for 7th gold were in […]

As you may already know, I own Vudu and absolutely love it. However I have kept a close eye on the competition with products like Roku, Apple Tv, and now LG entering the market. The LG Netflix box looks to be front runner going forward with the large Netflix install base and its dual purpose […]

The two commercials below are bad, in poor taste, and are ridicuously over the top and taboo. But you know what, they are so freaking horrible, that they are effective. Let me rewind to several years ago when Go Daddy hands down was voted the worst Super Bowl commercial. I forgot the exact commercial, but […]

More and more over the past year and a half, I have found myself utilizing Yelp.com in researching various local businesses (restaurants, bars, barbers, etc). Think of it as a community user based Zagat’s. Or if you are familiar with IMDB.COM (you should be), a similar website but instead of ratings and reviews on movies, […]

At a workplace full of sports fan I brought up how I felt that this year’s Olympics lacked a lot of the buzz of past Olympics. There is a plethora reasons behind the lack of excitement (distance, protests, media restrictions, time zone incompatibility, timing-pushed back 2 weeks so now its contending with pre season football), […]

For awhile I have been following the digital living room wars as products like Vudu, Apple Tv, and Roku’s Netflix box hope to change how consumers utilize digital media. I also think I did a pretty decent job chronicling the now resoloved HD DVD vs Blu Ray format war. Awhile back I blogged about LG’s […]

Below are some thoughts on what’s on the tube these days – The critically aclaimed football documentary television show, Hard Knocks, is returning in less than 48 hours to HBO. This year the show will focus on training camp for the Dallas Cowboys. Last year Hard Knocks chronicaled the training camp of the Kansas City […]

I posted this on Bucknuts, trying to give some of the board members who had not played football some perspective on the experience that is training camp. Some of it is tied to Ohio State, but really its more about the camp experience that many really can only imagine. The community members have really liked […]

The tech community has enjoyed taking shots at Yahoo over the past 6 months. For years before that Microsoft was a great punching bag to beat up on. But if anyone has taken more abuse than Microsoft, it would be much maligned AOL. For whatever reason, the portal and former ISP giant has been unable […]
