    Charlton Heston has died at 84!

    I attended a local book signing for In the Arena: An Autobiography when it was released.

    American Idol - Season 6

    I thought She's Leaving Home was very good. In fact the whole Sgt. Pepper Medley was very good. -Gary

    Melinda's performance last night was one of the best I've ever seen on AI. Even the band seems to play better when she performs. Regards, -Gary

    HTPC, necessary?

    Lee, I’ve been kicking around the same question for a year now and finally took the plunge. I just built my first HTPC. My knowledge of PCs is limited so I started with a stock PC HP Pavillion model A1616N (PC only) PentiumD 820 Dual Core 2.8 GHz 1 gig memory 300 watt power supply...

    THE SOUND OF MUSIC presentation on Dec.23 ABC

    I began capturing The Sound Of Music and after two commercial breaks I stopped the process. It was painful to watch such careful framing destroyed by ABC's cropped version. The greatest disgrace came a bit later, while singing Do Re Me, two of the Von Trapp children were singing their...

    coffee stains my teeth

    from the mind of Rodney Dangerfield: ...and my dentist is no bargin either, I told him, "Hey Doc, my teeth are all yellow." He told me to wear a brown necktie. -Gary

    American Idol - Season 5

    My humble opinion: Taylor is the best entertainer Idol has spawned to date. If he doesn't get poisoned by unyielding record executives, I believe he will succeed to high levels because he appeals to many demographics. He can be a double threat both in the recording studio and more...
