Interesting Mergers
Sirius Satellite Radio has officially bought XM satellite radio, which is brilliant for the company, as they will now hold a large enough subscription base to turn around profits. It is also brilliant for all users, because programming will eventually combine for a more complete service. The FCC allowed the merger with an appointed official to watch all moves the company makes, especially the...

Random Points of Interest
NBC has announced that Jay Leno will be retiring from the Tonight Show on May 29, 2009. They have officially named Conan O’Brien as the successor. (This is good news) Jimmy Fallon will be tried out in the Late Night spot. (THIS IS GREAT NEWS) Jimmy Fallon sucks, but this means more and more people will no longer care about the second NBC spot, and they will discover CRAIG FERGUSON who is...

Sometimes I wait a few days after posting something you should really see, just to give it more time at the top of the page. I considered waiting two days before my next post to give myself break and to highlight my review of “You Have to Burn the Rope.”
I am incredibly happy that I have already found another example that is inspiring me to write a full review. I was looking at the...
You Have to Play This Game
Because “Computer games are getting so hard these days…”
Kian Bashiri of Marzapan.se has performed a public service by creating “You Have to Burn The Rope.” Dan Hopper of BestWeekEver.tv called YHTBTR the “greatest online game I have ever played.”
OK, so they’re really kidding. It’s not the greatest game ever, but following in the footsteps...
The FotC Breakdown
“On August 17, 2007, HBO announced a second season for Flight of the Conchords, originally set to premiere in 2008, but which has been postponed to January 2009. Prior to the announcement, Jemaine Clement stated in an interview with The New Zealand Herald, ‘they [HBO] are interested in doing another series but we have to think about it.

Graphic Novel Review - Bookhunter
Because librarians absolutely love to stock anything that has to do with libraries on their shelves, I was able to find an extremely awesome graphic novel at the SoPo library.
I was immediately drawn to the simple art style of Bookhunter, and the compelling and funny concept. Combining the quiet world of libraries and books with the more exciting, action-packed world of CSI crime drama,...
Kongai!!!
I finally got my e-vite to the beta testing of the Kongregate’s new collectible card game, Kongai. Believe me, I can go on and on about how much I love the Kongregate system of flash gaming, I even wrote a full article about it at one point, but everything has been leading up to this point, and it is beautiful.
You see, Kongregate uses a levels and acheivements system to encourage the...

Webcomics
The author of Copper, a phenomenal webcomic that I would describe as a grown-up Calvin and Hobbes with some stunning full page graphics (as it is made by a graphic novel artist), hasn’t released a comic since October of last year. Reportedly, he is sitting on top of three sketches that need to be worked on to reach the final completed form. He’s been overrun with making...
