Family Guy + The Shawshank Redemption = WIN
Last night, Boston sports was in full swing with the Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox all playing at the same time. It was worth it, as all three teams won, completing a Mother’s Day Sweep. This concurrence of Boston sports made me miss Family Guy, and it turns out it was a great episode. But, […]

To all the bloggers amongst my readers, the video below is a must watch. It’s a short video from CBS by Josh Landis and Mitch Butler which shows the concept of blogging is not really as new as we think. It’s a fascinating video and it’s less than 3 minutes long. In fact, I’ll say […]
