Who knew Predator could inspire brilliant tunes? ArnoCorps
In her article last week, Salon’s Drew Grant asked the question “Who knew “Predator” could inspire brilliant tunes?”
Answer: ArnoCorps.
But back to that in a minute.
In my opinion, Grant really isn’t asking the right question.
I’ll ex/… Read full post »
It was a Tuesday afternoon. I was at work. After a long meeting with my team, I returned to my desk in our open fishbowl office and stole a moment to check my Facebook page, as I do a couple… Read full post »

Silicon Valley Farming in the Great Recession
I grew up on a farm. Well, that's not technically true. I grew up in a suburb in Sunnyvale, CA, but it felt like a farm. Our humble tract home right off of Wolfe Road and El Camino had a big backyard, nearly a third of an acre, and… Read full post »

Warehouse 13: Imagine a Greater X-Files Ripoff
Warning: spoilers ahead.
The newly rebranded SyFy Channel's new tagline is "Imagine Greater." I have a pretty good imagination, and I can imagine a better show than the new series, "Warehouse 13".
They got me hooked on the teasers with the promise of C.C.H Pounder, Det.… Read full post »

X-Rated White Sangria Margaritas Recipe
This cocktail punch is two drinks in one: white sangria AND margaritas. Oh yeah. It's X-rated because it uses X-Rated Fusion Liqueur, my new favorite beverage.
I made these margaritas for a birthday party and they were a huge hit. The recipe is loosely based on the… Read full post »
Burn Notice is back: Summer's here
The title caught my attention at first. What the heck is a Burn Notice? What I found was an awesome summer spy show that combined the action, intensity, and production values of 24 with the camera-winking wit of Xena: Warrior Princess. It even starred Bruce Campbell… Read full post »
Confidentially Lost on 24
The FOX drama 24 is a guilty pleasure for me. I especially enjoy the cast lead by Keifer Sutherland, and “story told in real time” format, which allows for the endless cliffhangers I’m a total sucker for. The show was prescient when it presented us with a fabulous portrayal of an… Read full post »
