Merry Christmas, Santa Vader

If you need to laugh today...

Star Wars vs Social Ills

Can't help wondering if they had to can Jar-Jar's anti-drug campaign. "Meesa no like whoopie-whoopie pills!"

Parenting is all about setting priorities

Our Canoe Trip down the Delaware River

Thanks to Bowhunter for captaining our little vessel!

New Green Lantern Trailer

Looks far better than the first one.

I needed a Muppet fix!

The Superbowl without all that pesky football

If you're like me and not a fan of American foot, you probably do enjoy the commercials. Well, if either (1) you just want the commercials or (2) you'll be missing the commercials due to scheduling conflicts or loud partiers, all of the major commercials are up on YouTube and ready for your viewing in HD.

Unfortunately, they do not supply any pigs-in-the-blanket to snack on while watching. For that, talk to CRChair.

We're back from our vacation, and wanted to share some of the fun with the Mod-Blog audience. Here are a few moments from the Friday Night Fireworks from Wildwood, NJ.

Not even this could make me ride the NYC subways

This would have scared me silly as a kid

And I'd still have loved it!

Star Wars on your GPS

I'm not a big fan of TomTom GPSes, but this is GREAT.

Giving the Golden Retrievers Equal Time

I wish I had an AT-AT as a pet!

Google TV - Your television with a keyboard

At their annual Google I/O conference, Google announced yesterday their new TV software called GoogleTV. The new product is designed to integrate your television with the Web in such a way that you can easily search for programs (using Google search, of course) and view them on the air, on your integrated DVR, or on the web (at Google-owned YouTube, of course). The new system will be available integrated into televisions or as stand-alone boxes.

The new devices will require a keyboard for input, raising the question, "If you're going to need a keyboard to interact with your television anyway, why not just hook up a cheap computer instead?" It will be interesting to see if it catches on, or is relegated to a "hobby" like Apple's AppleTV device.
