Colson Whitehead: Learning from Science-Fiction B-movies.
27 May 2012, 11:05 pm
Growing up on the Upper East Side in the nineteen-seventies, I was a bit of a shut-in. I would prefer to have been a sickly child. I always love it when I read a biography of some key Modernist or neurasthenic Victorian and it says, “So-and . . .

'Men at Work': Was this stuck in an old vcr?
23 May 2012, 11:58 pm
Word has it the sitcom genre is primed for a big comeback this fall, but if the first episode of TBS's Thursday night sitcom "Men at Work" is any indication of what lies ahead, then they can keep it.

vcr), we bring you the schedule for the NBA Western Conference finals. Which right now, with the way the banged up Heat, aging Celtics, underdog Sixers and Pacers are playing feels a lot like an NBA finals. The series start next Sunday, which means the Spurs…

10 May 2012, 3:03 pm
And now we have one more reason why annual school budget votes are about as relevant and useful as an instruction booklet on programming a
vcr. The same is true, unfortunately, for school board elections. Perhaps it was a wise move, perhaps not, but in either case the state’s 2 percent property tax cap is [...]

28 April 2012, 3:51 am
You used to watch high-draft-pick running backs on your

MPAA: Censorship Is Good For Consumers - Tech Dirt
14 May 2012, 10:26 am
They don't like having to adapt and to change. So they attack any new form of innovation and brand it as piracy -- just as they did with the
vcr. Of course, amusingly, it's now that same home movie revenue which they fear losing. Yet if the MPAA ...
NHL coaching shuffle set to begin - Calgary Herald
14 May 2012, 8:10 am
I mean, why would you want to coach? Aren't there more secure long-term occupations out there? Like
vcr repairman or newspaper reporter? It's so wacky in the profession of bench bosses that Alain Vigneault, Joel Quenneville and Todd McLellan all have dealt ...
