After all these years I just noticed that TGIF is an anagram of GIFT. "God. It's Friday! Thanks!!"

Have you ever noticed how the poor are virtually the only unprotected class. They are so openly discriminated against, it's not even funny. When you go to a place of business you know you're not likely to see signs like "Coloreds not allowed", "No Women Allowed", or "Non-Christians Only", but you do see signs like "Price: $1000". Tell me if that isn't some form of discrimination against the poor. After all you're not likely to hear that the phone company cut someone's line off because he is gay or that the Landlord threw a tenant out because she is 55 years old. Moral of the story: Don't be poor.

Oh what I would give for a chance to write a Superman screenplay. Yes I am dreaming. It's my blog so I think I'm entitled to spend a sentence or two in La La land. Bryan Singer's Superman Returns debuted nearly twenty years after the last big screen version (the critical disgrace...also known as Superman IV: The Quest for Peace ). That tells me that it's not so easy to make a Superman movie. I hear Zack Snyder (of 300 and Watchmen fame) will be directing a new one, with Christopher Nolan (of The Dark Knight and Inception fame) providing creative input. With such a combination at the helm, I will go and see the movie. Even if by some chance, they aren't able to get good actors or a good script, there's sure to be enough eye candy to last an hour or two. I wonder if Supes will finally lose the briefs. Even during the era Superman Returns was released, people had generally stopped wearing their briefs over their spandex. I understand that they were trying to ...

Anyone who knows me knows I can't stop talking about Google. They're everywhere...even on Mars (at least in theory). They snag up a lot of upstarts (one of them was even named Upstartle!) and make their products more readily available to the common user. Those that refuse to sell usually end up with Google as a direct competitor with more dedicated funds and the ability (even if not desire) to undercut. The end result usually benefits the general consumer though it leaves a lot of bad blood in its wake. OK, so now that Google has established themselves as some sort of omnipotent and omnipresent entity, it may be time to dial down my ambitions. Maybe it's time to change my goals from 'creating a company that will change the world' to 'creating a company that is innovative enough to attract Google's attention so I can sell and run like the wind'. Here's to great times ahead.

"Wow!" That's all I can say when I think about Betty White 's immense popularity these days. Not many people who started their career in 1939 can boast of the kind of star power she's wielded lately. This 89-year-old scene stealer seems to be a magical ingredient that makes a show or movie more memorable. I won't even pretend like I know why. Even if I did, I wouldn't waste my time or blog real estate, trying to explain it. What I will do however is propose another magical use of her super powers..."24". Yes "24". I propose they introduce White as Jack Bauer's ex-spy grandmother who had gone dark for decades. Just imagine it. Someone who can give Jack Bauer a Gibbs esque slap behind the head and live to tell the tale. Just imagine it...they probably wouldn't even need a great script.

Cutlery (in whatever shape or form) was invented by humans to differentiate themselves from us animals. There, I said it! Functionally it makes no difference whether you pour the noodles, wholesale, directly into your mouth, or throw your face into the food like us warthogs. You humans like to appear cultured, hence you try to show that you can control your base desires (or at least appear to). Base desire, in this case, would be the desire to throw yourselves at the food and make some passionate...er...'consumation'. Ever noticed how it is more 'cultured' to hold your fork by touching it as little as possilbe? It's almost as if the food is some evil smelling substance to be merely tolerated. To be somewhat fair to you humans, food has really done some evil in it's heyday; but then, that is hardly even the food's fault? I wonder if you humans ever bothered to invent some kind of 'cutlery' for sex...oh wait...you do that in private so there's no ...

Polaroid was one innovative company in its heyday. Wonderful inventions such as polarized sunglasses, instant cameras, and the noun ‘Polaroid’, were a few of their claims to fame. They, however, failed to see the potential in their early digital camera model, and stuck to their forte, instant film…essentially allowing the digital market to swallow them up. They filed Chapter 11 on day 11 of October in 2001. Fast-forward to January 2011 and Polaroid has done it again…literally. They have produced the Grey Label line including the GL10, a pocket-sized (even if large pocket) wireless insta-printer-thingamajig, the GL20 (a combination of two of their most popular products, the camera and the sunglasses), and the GL30 (well…the instant camera all over again). However, in one masterstroke, they have linked these products to one of the most Googled names on the planet…Lady Gaga! Talk about a comeback. The genius doesn’t just stop at the rebranding; my guess is that Polaroid won’t be immediat...
