Chuck 2.0!

Added by Katy Miller on September 30th, 2008, filed under Media, Miscellaneous

Season 2 of Chuck aired last night and I have to say it was better than I expected! One of the main reasons I think I’ll enjoy this season is that Chuck has evolved into something more than the stereotypical “computer nerd”. He seems to have a lot more confidence and is more of a [...]

Who turned off the internets?

Added by Anthony Bouvier on September 30th, 2008, filed under Technology

If it is one thing a geek needs, it is electricity.  I can pretty much turn any computer at my disposal into a workstation — but only if I can power it on first.  When the wind storms hit our area this month, I  first noticed at home.  No video games, no TV to watch, [...]

Again? Seriously?

Added by Katy Miller on September 30th, 2008, filed under Media, Miscellaneous

Since it’s inception in 2005, Grey’s Anatomy has been a big hit.  Also since 2005, the staff of Seattle Grace has been plagued with the same issues that just never seem to resolve themselves.  Dr. Derek Shepard and Dr. Meredith Grey can’t seem to get it together, and almost every episode expresses this.  Why should [...]

Desperate Lives for Desperate Housewives

Added by Allison Gibson on September 30th, 2008, filed under Media, Miscellaneous

The opening episode was sure packed with heat, but left me with many questions. To start, season five opened five years later. I guess the present was getting a little too predictable? Brie is up to her old tricks. Susan is as emotionally tangled as ever. Lynette is trying to tame her family as she [...]

The Family Guy – So wrong in so many ways

Added by Nick Ising on September 29th, 2008, filed under Media

So a group of writers sit around thinking it’ll be fun to make light of infidelity, compulsive sexual behavior, abortion, atheism, vehicular homicide.  That’s how The Family Guy kicked off its 7th season last night.  Wait. Come to think of it, that’s just about every episode of The Family Guy. Oh yeah, then there’s the [...]

Back up, Ike!

Added by Rob Womack on September 29th, 2008, filed under Technology

The week before Hurricane Ike came traipsing through our city and took out our power here at CurrentMarketing, I was in a quandary. I deal with a lot of data, in the form of video and audio files mostly, and I have resisted buying a RAID storage system as being too expensive and complicated for [...]

Lay Off the Cheese, KITT

Added by Donovan Sears on September 26th, 2008, filed under Culture, Media

I happily raised my hand to critique the new version of a show from my childhood. Knight Rider. I thought watching an old favorite that has been updated with a kick-ass car, based off a new Mustang Shelby GT500KR would be fun. But sometime over the last 20 years, KITT turned into a full-blown transformer. [...]

No spoilers, Jimmy D! Don't worry!

Added by Katy Miller on September 26th, 2008, filed under Miscellaneous

I will now attempt to write about the Heroes premiere without spoiling anything for those of you who have DVR’d it and not watched it yet (this one’s for you, Jim Bag). Big ups and big downs, to sum it up: Big ups: – The Mohinder/Maya narrative, particularly what Suresh does after his experiments. Without [...]

I Wouldn't Marry Gary Either

Added by Ashley Baker on September 26th, 2008, filed under Culture, Media

On Wednesday night,  I bypassed the Prez and tuned in to watch the series premier of Gary Unmarried.  I can see why his wife left him.  Gary is predictable, a little boring and kind of looks like Barney Rubble. Gary is freshly divorced and has two kids.  He and his wife have joint custody and [...]

Dancing with Cloris Leachman

Added by Ashley Baker on September 25th, 2008, filed under Media, Miscellaneous

So far I’m 2.5 hours in to the 5 hour/3 day premier of Dancing with the Stars’ 7th season.  There’s another 1.5 hours of cha-chas on my DVR and I’ll tune in for a 5th hour tonight.  The length of the first half of the season is the only negative about this show!  Does anything [...]
