Another look at ‘It’s Always Sunny …’
Well, for as long as hulu.com will allow me, here’s my favorite episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Scroll to 15 minutes, 26 seconds in for the absolute best part (or, just watch the scene on YouTube by clicking here). I’ll have to post the mp3 soon.
Here’s the show’s page on hulu.com — where the video actually fits the page, unlike my site.

South African workers trapped in Protoculture mine
So, 3,000 miners are trapped underground in South Africa because of a faulty mine shaft.
The workers are employed by Harmony Gold, which every geek knows as the distributor behind Robotech. (I guess there is some mining company by the same name — but it’s gotta be a cover, right?)
What the heck is the company behind Robotech doing with a mine? Digging up Protoculture, mayhaps?

Sanjaya: Indian call center connetion?
OK, I’ve been sucked into American Idol again, and Michele and I still can’t understand why Sanjaya continues to survive on the show.
I think I know why he’ll stay on the show for quite some time: Sanjaya is benefiting from disgruntled Indian call center workers. Everytime they get an irate, “let me talk to an AMERICAN” call from the States, they place two calls to the American Idol hotline for Sanjaya.

Is God Green?
Check out Is God Green?, a wonderful look at evangelical Christians who are coming to the consensus that global warming is against the Bible, against Christ. Here are some video clips.
And, while you’re at it, some resources to caculate your own environmental footprint:
- EPA’s Personal Greenhouse Gas Calculator (Simple)
- SafeClimate carbon footprint calculator (I had to look up some numbers)

Nigel Tufnel wants you to drive a VW. Slash does, too
I couldn’t find the VW ad featuring Nigel Tufnel, so rock out with Slash.
(Again, advertisers: Yes, I saw your ad on TV. Now I’m in front of my computer. Why isn’t your ad anywhere to be found on your web site?)
And I can’t resist: Do VW’s with guitars go to 11?

TV Guide relaunches online
As Lost Remote points out, TV Guide has a new web site that is not only video-heavy, but attempts to point to online video listings.
Check it out, on the right-side of the homepage.
It’s a simple idea that makes TV Guide relevant to users who would never use it otherwise. Smart.
Now, if they were really on the ball, they would daypart and feature “TV” during prime-time and “Online Video” during the workday, or iPrime. They could also rotate their main video offering more often — the Anne Heche “Men in Trees: Preview” has been the main feature for more than 12 hours.

Cox on demand comes to Lakewood
Yes, it’s true — you can get Cox on demand any time you’d like in Lakewood, Ohio. And Cox Digital Cable service now offers it, too!
With a surprise that made my day, when I booted up our brand new, yet out-of-date Explorer 8000 DVR Wednesday night, we were greeted by a warm, blue ad to watch Failure to Launch on demand.
No thanks, Cox, but I did sample your on demand offering, and here’s what I found:
- An interface that feels similar to Replay TV’s — bold background color, vertical list of choices on the left, advertisement / large logo treatment on the right
- Interface is different from Comcast On Demand, but offering is similar
The layout is different — with one main column to choose from versus Comcast’s two columns. But, the on Demand choices are similar — the videos on the Music Choice channel are the same, for example - Slower to respond than Comcast, but less prone to crash.
The few Comcast on demand boxes I’ve tried all hang or exit out to the channel guide when you attempt to scroll through a menu too quickly, or if you press “back” immediately after making a selection. In 10 minutes of trying my best, I was unable to “crash” the Cox on demand. It takes longer to scroll through the choices, though
Why am I making a big deal out of this? Because on demand came from out of the blue — there’s no listing for on demand on Cox’s Cleveland-area page and no one at the Parma office knew about on demand when I got digital cable August 5.

git ‘r dumb
git ‘r done: Larry the Cable Guy is an act! Shocking!
Learn more about Larry, er, Dan Whitney
Larry is dumb, but I laugh whenever he sings. That isn’t saying a lot, as I laugh at most use of song + humor.
