This is a fantastic article from the New York Times about how baseball dugout payphones are the last bastion of the landline. The web-site io9 always has some great lists, and I particularly enjoyed their recent list of 10 stand-alone episodes that totally represent their respective s
In What Order Should One Watch the Star Wars Films?
With the recent release of all six Star Wars films on blu-ray, Star Wars is on my mind (and I’m sure I’m not alone). I am standing by my vow not to purchase this new set, since I am confident that the additional changes to the films (most heinously represented by Darth V

The casting announcements have been coming fast and furious for the new Spider-Man film, but I just can’t muster up much excitement. I simply think it’s a terrible idea to re-boot the Spider-Man franchise, which felt to me like it still had a ton of gas in the tank (desp
