Fun web animated movies

I ran across Bruno Bozzetto's <a href="http://www.thenextwindow.com/exit.php?url_id=234&amp;entry_id=64" title="http://www.infonegocio.com/xeron/bruno/italy.html" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.infonegocio.com/xeron/bruno/italy.html';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">animated movies site</a> the other day. These are cute little shorts by Bruno.<br /> <br /> They'll make you laugh. I especially like the "Europe vs. Italy" and the "Olympics" shorts.<br /> <br /> Don't forget the sound — it's not much, but it [...]

I Love my Home Theater PC

When you finally decide to take the plunge, to leave the world of video cassette recorders for the world of digital recording, you will be amazed. It will change your way of watching television. No longer will you rush to see the beginning of a show. Now, you'll intentionally start watching 10 or 15 minutes [...]

And then the rains came…

Baton Rouge has been suffering from lack of rain the last couple months. It's been hot, muggy, breezy and <i><b>no rain</b></i>. We finally got a heavy downpour this morning and more is forecast for the afternoon and tomorrow. Do you wonder why the rains finally came? It's because this is a holiday weekend! <br /> [...]

BBQ Time

We're coming up on one of the three biggest BBQ days in the U.S. — Memorial Day. According to a recent show, the three biggies are Fourth of July, Labor Day and Memorial Day.<br /> <br /> We're planning to BBQ some pork babyback ribs. Some people like to boil their ribs before putting them [...]

Let’s try this again…

Just visited Wal-Mart — <i>and they still don't have any Star Wars Dark Chocolate M&M's! </i> Or, the milk chocolate ones, either. The helper said they got one shipment and sold out. I guess Target had the foresight to buy the Star Wars M&M's — they even advertised them in their ad last week. Just [...]

StumbleUpon Murphy’s Laws

I’ve been using a neat utility called StumbleUpon to find websites that interest me. StumbleUpon is a toolbar that installs on Internet Explorer, Firefox and Mozilla on the Windows, Mac and Linux systems. You tell it the general topics that interest you (check the matching boxes) and click the Stumble button. StumbleUpon basically works as [...]

Las Vegas — the show, not the city

Thanks to my HTPC, I just watched the Season Finale of “Las Vegas” (NBC, Monday night, 8pm Central Time). WOW! There must have been five cliffhangers there, including the biggie — is it really the show’s finale, or just the season’s? Continue reading “Las Vegas — the show, not the city”

Roasting day again

Yep, it’s summer in Baton Rouge. And, I’m just about out of coffee. Coffee — the ready to drink kind, not the green unroasted coffee kind. If you’ve read my coffee pages on my website, you know that I roast my own coffee. It’s supposed to hit 94 for the high today, and it’s 89 [...]

The Revenge of the Sith

Everybody’s heard the title of Star Wars Episode 3 — The Revenge of the Sith. And seen the ads. And the toys. And the commercials including Star Wars (I love the Yoda / Diet Pepsi commercial). Just got back from an awesome showing at my favorite theater in Baton Rouge, the Rave. They’ve got stadium [...]
