change is in the wind

Got a few new changes to the ole' blog. As you have probably noticed there are some ad's now on my blog. I am looking for more sponsors who are looking for a place to advertise their services. I don't think they are very intrusive so I'm looking for people who would be interested in buying some ad space, you can contact me for rates and all that.

There is now also a suscribe link on the sidebar for RSS feeds so you can get my new updates on your site or blog instantly and even get them on your blackberry/iphone. You can also now search google directly off this blog (it will open the results in a new window) and will find search results relevant to the things I talk about in the blog as well as the entire web. I had zero expectations when I was making this blog other than a place to vent my creative frustrations. It's good to see that the site is starting to pick up some steam. If you have any comments or suggestions about the layout or content of the blog feel free to hit me up. Ideally I'd like to eventually move it off blogger and get my own domain so if you can help with that let me know.

Update: Comic Con

I did a story on Comic Con the other day and this is a great source for more info on everything that was debuted and talked about at the event:

Sirius XM

Huge news in the media world as the Sirius/XM merger was FINALLY approved last night by a 3-2 vote from the FCC. They waited til a little bit before 9 pm to announce the decision and everything was hinging on Republican Deborah Tate who finally cast the final "yes" vote. This is a much needed merger in the world of satellite radio as both companies were hemmoraging money and even with a merger its not a given that they can still succeed. Fans will now be able to get Howard Stern, NFL, Nascar, MLB, Oprah, and Opie and Anthony all in one place.

It will be interesting to see how this merger falls out as people will need to buy new receivers to be able to get both services and I'm sure there will be all sorts of contract issues. Also the companies have a number of requirements they must meet from the FCC such as a number of minority oriented channels and a $19 Million fine for the FCC dealing with XM's equipment which was breaking an emissions rule. I'm sure Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin will also be handing out many pink slips over at XM. More info on this as events warrant.

Comic Con 2008

The annual San Diego Comic Con is well under way right now and lots of great movies have been announced and shown in further detail. The G.I. Joe panel happened yesterday and the movie seems to be shaping up much better than anticipated and will in theaters August '09. Frank Miller has a new movie called "The Spirit" which stars Samuel L. Jackson and a bevy of hot chicks (Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, and Jaime King). Benicio Del Toro is doing a Wolfman movie and the make up looks very realstic. Kevin Smith has a new comedy starring Seth Rogen, who imo is getting very overused as an actor and isn't really THAT funny. But the movie shows promise as its about a couple who gets into the business of porn making. "Zack and Miri Make A Porno" opens October 27th. The biggest movie of Comic Con seems to be Zack Snyder's graphic novel adaptation "The Watchmen." The first look at this movie was in the trailers before The Dark Knight and looks very interesting. You can find out more about the Watchmen panel here.

There's also a story on The Dark Knight expecting to make $73 Million this weekend and may actually give Titanic a run for its money as the highest grossing movie ever. Titanic made $1.8 Billion worldwide. It's also set to hit the $300 Million mark in 10 days which has never been done before, the only thing that came close was Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest which did it in 16 days.

Rush playing Rush

This is a video of the band Rush trying to play their own song "Tom Sawyer" in Rock Band, and failing miserably. Pretty funny to watch:

Bloomin' Burger

Outback has introduced the new Bloomin' Burger which looks better than sex. This thing is making my mouth water just looking at it. I'd love to go to outback order this burger and then proceed to shove it down my pants.

Dark Room

Some horny students at the IT University of Copenhagen have designed a game for the Nintendo Wii which simulates sex. The game doesn't have any graphics and is rythem based similar to your "guitar hero" series. Perfect for a get together of 4 or 5 men sitting around on a friday night, speakers set to 10.
