America's Got Talent was on with its premiere episode of the season tonight and featured a whole new format where the acts who try out do so not just in front of the three judges but also a full theater of people.
I love to know folks are reading my articles and, on the surface, Link Love seems like a great idea. It is basically taking a tip from the blogosphere and implementing a technology called "trackback" or "pingbacks" where you are informed when someone else links to your blog post.
If you use a lot of windows on your desktop and need to rapidly resize them at times then I have found "the tool for you.
A "Vote for Change 2008" bumpersticker was affixed to the wall in the bathroom stall scene in the final episode of House on Fox networks two nights ago. Fox is often decried as a bastion of conservative thought and speech (particularly their news channel).
Few people will dispute that most choices are not simply choices between "best" and "worst" but rather, due to the various consequences each decision inevitably lies somewhere in the middle.
I happen to live in West Virginia (after a long strange journey). Actually, I live in Huntington, WV right on the Ohio, Kentucky, WV border and I have to say, since I moved here in 1996, this has been the most interesting day of primaries I can remember.
I just discovered this whole Google Earth Race thing on the 7th Leg so hopefully you won't mind if I am a little tricky with my question. I hope this isn't too hard or obscure. Rules:
I don't seed much so I think it would be a good idea to get other peoples opinions on this idea.
This summer there looks to be a series of good movies coming out. I get like this almost every year and end up not seeing any of them but I always hope to see a few. This year's lineup however looks a bit better than any of the recent summers I can remember.
Last Friday I was presented with an unusual opportunity - I could go to the Troy Brown Fantasy Football Camp for free. Someone had paid but couldn't attend so I got to fill his slot.
The Indie Rock Spotlight has been on a hiatus lately and for that I apologize. However, I am back this week just in time to introduce you to a band whose first full length album is about to be released - The Courteeners.
I signed up for a Twitter account a long time ago but I have never really seen much value in it. Perhaps it is because I live in a small town, or maybe it is because I have no social life, but really the micro-blogging aspect just hasn't made much sense to me.
Don't ask me why you would want to do this - I have no idea. However, a request came through my newsvine mail asking me to crank out a bookmarklet that would enable a user to vote on all comments on an article/seed via a single click.
I developed, and have been maintaining, a few wordpress plugins for a few years. In the past I have employed a variety of different tactics for distributing those plugins.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend a question and answer session with Senator Clinton in Huntington, WV. The session was held at the local American Legion post and was attended mostly by members of that post.

I just tripped across the group in the past week which really forced me to vault them to the top of my list for bands to spotlight.
A few months ago I posted a review of the financial management site mint.com. In general I gave it a very glowing review because I really liked it. I still do. However, I was turned on to a different site today that, while not as refined as mint is even more powerful.
The Bush administration is currently pushing 27 nations of the European Union to agree to an unusual list of demands regarding Transatlantic flights, in order to gain or retain "visa-free" travel to and from the US.
Before anyone gets to excited this is not a review of the upcoming movie of the same name. Instead, it is a review of the fantasy series by the author Jude Fisher. The series consists of three volumes; Sorcery Rising, Wild Magic, and the conclusion The Rose of the World.
Malcolm Middleton isn't really a band but a guy. His name just happens to sound like a TV show - he didn't even change it for publicity sake. Malcolm is a guitarist and has a history of playing in various punk bands throughout the 1990s.
While there are some good bands to be found amongst the mainstream there are hundreds and thousands of bands that are overlooked by the majority of the population. I listen to a lot of music by a lot of bands however, I'm going to focus this column on "Indie Rock" bands.
Police in Portsmouth Ohio are saying a teacher and one other person have been shot in Notre Dame Elementary in Portsmouth, Ohio. Portsmouth is near the southernmost part of Ohio and lies just across the Ohio river from West Virginia.
I'm not a Catholic but my wife and kids are and the Lenten season is upon us. My eldest daughter has to pick something to give up for Lent - I typically tell people I gave up Catholicism for Lent about 20 years ago but most of the Catholics I know don't find much humor in that.

I will get back on the ball next week!
