50 years ago this month, a lanky 23-year-old young man from the small town of Kilgore, Texas went on Soviet soil and conquered an entire nation–truly winning their hearts and minds–at the height of the Cold War, a mere six months after the Soviets launched Sputnik I to start the space race–not with military might, […]
Tomorrow, Thursday Dec 13th at 9PM EST (8PM CST/6PM PST, 2AM Dec 14th GMT) I’ll be a guest on Dr. Anonymous’ Holiday show, broadcast (streaming) live on BlogTalkRadio! Dr. A., myself and other panelists will be discussing (viciously debating…heh) various holiday songs, movies, favorites, and other festive topics. There is a call in […]
El plazo para mandarme sus obras para Grand Rounds ha terminado.
(Translation: Like MC Hammer, it’s too late for a comeback.)
I want it. Badly. Of course, to play it, I’d need an XBox 360.

The 1975 JC Penney’s Catalog. I definitely don’t remember this one, but my childhood was full of dreaming of getting things from phonebook-sized catalogs, like the Sears Wishbook, to smaller-sized but no less desirable merchants, such as Radio Shack.

“Well, it didn’t help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn’t speak like I’d just […]
This is true–although their existence has been known for some time now, the data is finally confirmed that these two entities are indeed black holes, the most powerful physical phenomenon in the known universe. The gravitational force exerted by a black hole is so massive, that not even light traveling at velocity of over […]
From the Bling h2O website (written with ‘h’ because the apparently the Hollywood elite don’t know that there are no lowercase letters in the periodic table):
Bling H2O [note the inconsistency of the logotype presentation] is the inspiration of Kevin G. Boyd, Hollywood writer-producer. While working on various studio lots where image is of the utmost […]
This is a major departure from my usual posting, but I love Soviet-era culture. It’s not a “Oh, what a wonderful time it must have been during Stalin,” way but rather a never-ending fascination. I also love anything dealing with the CIA, KGB or espionage in general; I’m a total sucker for a […]
