I've been following Marc Maron for years. He used to do stuff with Sam Seder. He is very funny in a kind of self-serving, narrasitic way.

He was on Conan and was so funny that I decided to blow out my blog margins to show the video. .. enjoy.

Peter Falk Dead: 'Columbo' Star Dies At 83



Now this has bummed me out to no end. I loved Peter Falk. What a shame. I will always remember him best not as Columbo, but as the gentle, magical grandfather in Princess Bride.

Dish Buster

According to TechSpot, Dish Network purchased bankrupt Blockbuster for $228 million in cash. I have Dish as my cable provider. I love Dish's programming schedule and the variety of shows it offers. And no I have no financial interest nor do I get any discount from Dish.

I wonder what new services Dish is going to provide now that it owns Blockbuster? I can only imagine that they're going to provide a service that is similar to NetFlix. Dish also has agreements with Logittech and Google TV and has SlingBox technology .. so a fully integrated and searchable program provider may be on the way.
Dish might use Blockbuster's online content as a base for an online product to deliver movies, but competition is only getting tougher in this space.- TechSpot
In any case, I think this is a great move on Dish's part. Can't wait to see the new features.

NBC Universal's New Logo Ditches Peacock


This is NBC's new logo after Comcast took over last week.  To me it looks like some fly-by-nig­ht university­.

So here is my message to Comcast:

Dear ComCrud:

I know you think you're creative. I know you think that design and layout are all made-up horse *&^%. But it's not .. really .. just cause you have an MBA and know a little bit about PowerPoint .. doesn't make you a designer.

I know your wife's 15 year old nephew said you don't need Photoshop or Illustrato­r. I know he said that CorelDRAW was just as good. But what does he know .. he still watches SpongeBob.

It's not just the color or that the letters are squished together .. it's the whole thing. You need to spend a few bucks and get a real designer .. and please don't listen to your secretary and change the font to Comic Sans.
