I am throwing kind of a changeup for this commercial of the week. I saw a lot good witty new commercials, but this one grabbed my attention the most. Awhile back I blogged about how long time oilman T Boone Pickens was heading a new initiative to increase wind energy productions. Pickens is now putting […]

Aww what to blog about tonight? I was contemplating ripping American Airlines to shreds for taking out movies to save a miniscule amount on gas money citing the equipments weight and also them taking their flights off of Kayak and Orbitz. Updates on Hulu, Tesla Motors, and Vudu were also considered. But in the end […]

My CEO played this for me awhile back, but its slipped my mind until today. Its HILARIOUS and reminds me of a old Japanese friend I made in high school. Bob Costas is awesome too.

A couple days ago, I predicted that Batman had a great chance to break Spider Man’s 3 record. Today reports are coming in that, it indeed break the box office opening weekend with around a $155 million opening. I go to about 3-4 movies a year in theaters and usually catch another 30-40 on Vudu […]

Unlike its competitor, Myspace, Facebook has earned a great reputation for performance, scalability, and uptime. Today, it seems the system is temporarily down causing many of my coworkers to comment on the rarity of such a platform crash for Facebook. I am sure, it will be back up soon but wanted to point out that […]

I am not ultra plugged in to Hollywood, but am known to be more plugged in than most. For awhile I have been wondering if the new Batman movie could make a run at breaking Spider Man III’s opening box office record of 151 million dollars. This great LA times article , predicts an opening […]

Today we’re going to try something different. Lots of blogs vent, mock, and throw stones at whatever topic comes into their sights that warrant the mean spirited energy to blast. I try to avoid that….but not today. Its Wednesday night, and the only day of the year that has no professional sporting games. This irks […]

Saw a handful of nice contenders for commercial of the week, but was really impressed with a nicely executed series of ads hyping NCAA Fotball 09’s pending release (tomorrow). College football fans are the most passionate and crazed of all the major American sports. If you didn’t know that, that’s ok. If you disagree you […]

Really didn’t see much in ways of commercials this week. This was most likely because I haven’t been watching as much television of late. However this commercial caught my eye. The Most Interesting Man in the World campaign has broadened Dos Equis brand awareness. The commercial below builds you up, but gives you a short […]

Awhile back I read an article about how Sony has lost 3 billion dollars on the PS3 (2.16 billion in 2006, 1.16 billion in 2007). The artile does point out that losing money on gaming hardware is actually normal (money made on software) and PS3 sales have been better in 2008. Regardless of what the […]

The past 24 hours have been eventful in terms of player movement for the NBA and MLB. NBA: Former Clipper, Elton Brand has signed with the Philadelphis 76ers. Also heading East is Warriors Backup Mickael Pietrus, who will be heading to the Orlando Magic. First thought is that its a bummer the Warriors lost Davis, […]

The Monday after a long weekend is always somewhat more depressing than your average Monday. Hopefully this will start you off on the right foot. At least you’re not distraught as Mr. Peter Givens below. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.1368247&w=425&h=350&fv=] more about "Manic Monday Hulu Clip- Office Space …", posted with vodpod

With the sport’s world in a somewhat of a dead time in between now and the fall, some of my fellow Bucknuts community members started a topic on favorite youtube videos. Below are a couple I had not seen before. Bugatti Veyron vs Euro Fighter Typhoon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14HsFMV-H7A The Website is Down also known as sales […]
