Now that’s what I call entertainment Here’s the deal, pal: this is public transportation, so you’re going to have to deal with the public. And it just so happens that some members of the public, like me, enjoy passing the 50 minute bus ride by watching DVDs of kidney operations on their Mustek Portable DVD […]

The Box Of Tomorrow A little box that delivers media? Now I’ve seen everything! Wow! Wasn’t it just a decade or two back that my family got a little box to deliver us content? They called it “a descrambler” I think. Oh, and then before that, there was a slightly larger box to give us […]

Gimme Them Digits Remember how great DVDs were when they came out? Can’t we all just go back to thinking that was as good as it would ever get? At one point in the mid-to-late ‘80s, anybody who was still paying attention to the Atari 2600 was able to buy up armloads of game cartridges […]
