I don’t do tons of product reviews, but recently I have purchased a few new things and also had a few things around for a while that I think I need to say something about. In this cas… Read More

Think of this as a review of Star Trek Picard Episode 1. Except, well, the review is only really about the first 5 minutes or so, bear with me while I explain it all to you.
You have to… Read More

Sort of a quick post here, all about everyone’s favorite (or least favorite) Royal couple, Harry and Meghan. They are either a couple that you really love for their spunky attitude an… Read More

I have written a number of articles about how much I love racing. 2019 goes down as a record for me of NOT watching auto racing hardly at all, I think I watched one F1 race (it was dull) an… Read More

The news this week that Seth MacFarlane’s show The Orville is moving to Hulu comes as a surprise to some, but not to me at all. I think of it more as a sign of the times, and somethi… Read More

Pretty awesome news. If you haven’t gathered, I am a pretty solid fan of science fiction and I particularly enjoy the Star Trek universe (for the most part). I have certainly been en… Read More

One of the most bizarre situations in the Trump Presidency (among so many other truly bizarre things) has been The Donald’s attacks on social media. There is a whole narrative out the… Read More

I deleted my twitter account today. It’s probably not a big deal, a couple of hundred people will be following one less account, some tag games will have one less person taking part… Read More

It’s taken me a few swings to get this article written. It’s sort of a weird topic, one that was started by an online discussion I was following for a bit. The simple question… Read More

Wifi is a pretty amazing thing. While there are different versions, the format itself tracks back almost 2 decades. It’s relatively robust, not exactly secure in some ways, but a cri… Read More

For Sci-fi fans and Trekkies, 2017 has been quite the banner year on TV. We didn’t get just one new show, we got two. Star Trek Discovery has been the talk of the town, and even more… Read More

I will admit that I don’t go to a ton of movies, I am not someone who plans to see every new release. But as a father with pre-teen, certain movies are a total no brainer, or at least… Read More

Formula 1 (aka F1, Formula One, the house that Bernie Built) is perhaps the highest of the high end of auto racing. Teams have no limit to the amounts of money they can spend, the people th… Read More

I have been a fan of Elementary since it came to air 5 seasons ago. I like Jonny Lee Miller quite a bit, and I can tolerate Lucy Liu. The show has generally proven to be smart and biting… Read More

2016 was certainly a year for the record books in F1, but not exactly for all the right reasons. The good news on the racing side is that 2016 saw a first time champion in Nico Rosberg, who… Read More

I guess I have become a binge watcher. After binging my way through 7 seasons of NCIS Los Angeles, I figured I would shift to something else. I had heard and read some good things in passi… Read More

Without a doubt, the new show The Grand Tour has been one of the most awaited shows for the relatively new Amazon video streaming service. It’s also one of their biggest productions e… Read More
2016-12-08 11:09
I guess it’s not a binge in the sense that I am not sitting here 24 hours a day ingesting NCIS Los Angeles. However, that said, I am nearing the end of season 7 which will allow me to… Read More

About 4 or 5 months ago, I was travelling with my wife, and as often happens after a long day trip, we settled down to see what was on the hotel TV. By chance, we came across an episode of… Read More

Elementary is another one of the TV shows that I particularly enjoy. There are plenty of reasons, and I discussed before how Elementary makes you feel smarter. It’s an intelligent sh… Read More

It’t not often that I get the perfect time, but my article about the Slow and Painful Death of CSI Cyber seems to have been more prophetic than normal. Without a couple of days the sh… Read More

I really, really want to like CSI: Cyber. It came with such promise, the spiritual and physical successor to the original CSI Las Vegas series, it got a good push with a premiere inside the… Read More
