UPDATE: The House voted down the bill in question so the digital TV switch will take place on February 17th.

Surely you’ve noticed all the commercials and PSA’s regarding the nation’s switch from analog television signals to digital. It’s become pretty annoying considering it will only affect a very small amount of the population. Well, be prepared to listen to it for another 4 months. The Senate just approved a delay that will set the switch back until June 12th with Congress ready to approve it as early as today. (more…)

Sure the geese were chopped up into a million little pieces, but their target went down.

Any how, I came across this pretty shockingly cool photo (only because no one died) on my blog travels.

In case you missed it, Circuit City has gone completely belly up. The only real competitor to the dominant Best Buy is now liquidating all of its products, and that means sales galore. Right now you can get DVDs (and Blu-rays) for 20% off, video game software for 10% off, and “social video games” like Rock Band and Guitar Hero for 20% off. Unfortunately, Circuit City’s prices weren’t incredibly competetive to begin with, so marking products down 10% or 20% pretty much brings them in range with Amazon’s prices. Everything in all of their stores must be sold though, so you can expect the deals to get better. Just don’t wait too long.

In November, we celebrated our 1-year anniversary. Keeping this site going for over a year feels like a pretty big accomplishment, so Dyna felt like it was time for a change. He spent a lot of long nights designing and building this new look and it’s pretty damn slick if I do say so myself (and I do). We hope you enjoy it and thanks for helping make it a great year for us!

Please let us know what you think in the comments!

As Dyna mentioned in a recent post, we love Apple products. Tomorrow is the big keynote at this year’s Macworld conference so you can expect us to be glued to our computer monitors at 12pm EST reading text updates of what’s going on. The sad part about this year’s keynote is that Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO and all-around genius, is not presenting it like he normally does. He’s the guy that helped introduce the iPod, iPhone, and just about every other awesome piece of gear that starts with a lower-case ‘i’, so having someone else present the keynote is like having stand-in parents hand you your gifts on Christmas morning.

We usually like to keep things light and funny around here, but this is a story I’ve been following pretty closely since I live a couple of miles from where the Anthony family lives. If you haven’t kept up on this story, the Orlando Sentinel site has a pretty detailed recap of what has happened. (more…)

I saw this one on Yahoo! News and couldn’t resist. According to the description:

Uganda’s police warned male bar-goers to keep their noses clean after a probe found a gang of robbers had been using women with chloroform smeared on their chests to knock their victims unconscious.

I just want to see the bar where it’s cool to stick your face in some chick’s boobs.

(Yes, I know they mean after they leave the bar…just let me have the joke, please.)

You may remember back in February when I posted about a crazy bereaved woman who decided to clone her recently deceased pit bull, Booger (chuckle again). In the most awesome twist of fate ever, it appears this nutjob might just be a wanted woman. (more…)

Now I hate social networking sites.  I had to build one for a job once and vowed never to use one after that awful experience.  With that said I will have to give a thumbs up to Facebook for giving a middle finger up to China.  Communist China informed Facebook officials that it would turn off access to the site if it was not given censoring power to its China based users.  Well that didn’t go over to well and head honcho, Mark Zuckerberg, told them in a non direct way to fuck off.  So as of July 2nd many china based users started to report issues of connectivity to the site.  Now there is no actual confirmation that the Chinese government is causing these problems but I’d just have to assume their hand is some how involved.

Hats off to Facebook to sticking it to the Communist Man.

I wanted to pass along a fond farewell to one of comedies greatest, George Carlin.  He is hands down one of the greatest cursers of all time.  He brought swearing to a whole new level.  I’ll leave you all with a video of one of his most famous routines.  If you don’t know that this video is NSFW then you have no idea who George Carlin is and should watch the video.
