Blog2ober Day 8 As I continue to dig through old letters I’ve written, I was losing hope that I would find anything else worth sharing. There are a lot of embarrassing letters, but most of them are embarrassing because they’re just so damn dull. It’s like an Andy story only instead of just being too […]
Blog2ober Day 6 I would like to walk back some of my “criticism” of Doctor Who from the last episode of TANcast. I haven’t sat back and just listened to the episode yet, but when I was editing the episode last night, I sounded very harsh when I was talking about the show. It sounds […]
Blog2ober Day 4 On October 4, 2013, Comcast’s new x1 cable boxes suffered a nationwide outage. For the first time in weeks, my wife and I had sat down to watch some tv…midway through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the outage hit. What follows is what I expressed on my Twitter feed from that point forward… I […]
Blog2ober Day 2 In case you haven’t heard, Warner Bros. is making a tv series about Gotham City. No it won’t have Batman in it. It’s a prequel. We get to see what Jim Gordon was doing as he worked his way up to Commissioner. It’s not going to be tied to the Nolan Batman […]
30 Days and 30 Blogs Day 7 So I’ve been plugging along at Doctor Who episodes when I can. (I don’t know where all my free time went..I think my kid is hiding it somewhere). So far, it’s been pretty enjoyable. Nothing on the level of Star Trek, but enjoyable. Then a few minutes ago […]
So the HDMI cables came today (as referenced in TANcast 235) and I was able to hook up my Blu-Ray player to my HDTV. I watched my first Blu-Ray disc on it and I watched a regular DVD on it. (I made sure to wear my glasses so that I could appreciate the high definition). […]
A while ago, I was in an argument about the Big Bang Theory. The person I was arguing with was an opinionated nerd who thought the show was bad because it represented nerds poorly. Oh did I mention that this blow hard hadn’t even seen a full episode of the show? ‘Cause he hadn’t. He […]
If you’ve heard the latest TANcast, you may have heard me rant at length about Jennifer Schwalbach’s feminist tirade on the post-Oscar SModcast. After editing the episode, I worry that I come of as a “woman hater.” I like to think that I’m not. I think women should be treated equally under the law and […]
If you listen to the new episode of TANcast, you’ll notice a new TANlaugh jingle. For those of you who don’t watch television and/or don’t live near a Jack in The Box restaurant, you might not recognize the tune. It’s the music form a commercial for a new Jack in the Box sandwich called the […]
Day 20: My wife asked me a question today that I didn’t have an answer for… Which did you like better Deep Space Nine or the one with Scott Bakula She then laughed as I sat there in deep thought for more than five solid minutes. Truthfully, I’d never thought about it. Star Trek: The […]
