Here is an article on MSN's Slate.com talking about how HDTV is available in most places now, but nobody knows it. I can understand that HDTV is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people, that's fine. But the fact that most cable (even digital cable) pro...

Take the test and find out who you were. I AM PETER GIBBONS Ever since I saw that fat man keel over and die, "hostile takeover" has been my middle name. I hate my job and my company. I'm a bitter corporate drone who gets others to rebel. A natural lea...

I had my inane movie trivia mettle tested today when I was asked by Keely to see if I couldn't use the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon theory to connect him to Star Wars. It took me about 10 minutes to come up with something, but keep in mind that I DID NOT USE IMDB...
