Random Musings: FREAKS AND GEEKS, Kris Allen, Disney & More!
2009-07-23 01:08:00 Continuing our trend of highlighting TV that makes us feel really old comes a photo that this TV Addict snapped while watching our latest summer obsession FREAKS AND GEEKS. Can you guess the two big name guest stars that join John Francis Daley’s Sam Weir (on right)? If so, we’re officially impressed. Ways in which you never ever want to start off your day: By being told that you resemble Samm Levine’s Neal Schweiber from FREAKS AND GEEKS. Needless to say, we’ve had better Wednesdays. After Friday’s 90-minute crossover event WIZARDS ON DECK WITH HANNAH MONTANA netted the Disney Channel 9.2 million viewers, making it TV’s top scripted telecast this year among kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14, any guesses as to how long it will take the marketing mavens at NBC to unveil THE OFFICE ROCKS COMMUNITY? I mean Tobey Maguire we can live with. Heck, we’ve even gotten the occasional Joshua Jackson on a good hair day. But Neal Frakkin’ Schweiber!?!?...

Random Musings: ENTOURAGE Edition
2009-07-13 21:32:00 While critics and fans alike have pretty much declared the gang from ENTOURAGE — as Bruno might put it — so 2007. This TV Addict — understanding full well that nothing ever really happens on the show— remains unapologetically head-over-heels in love with Vinnie, ‘E,’ Turtle and Drama. Seriously, nothing gets us ready for a busy work week than an endless barrage of insults from one Ari Gold on Sunday nights at 10:30PM. That said, last night’s less that stellar season opener did leave us scratching our head for a multitude of reasons. Not the least of which is why on earth the show — which is known for its fairly realistic portrayal of the inner-workings of Hollywood — would allow for an episode to air with such outdated references to a now ‘TONIGHT SHOW-less’ Jay Leno and a MY NAME IS EARL-free Greg Garcia (whose series was unceremoniously dumped by NBC this past May). Adding to last night’s curious case of the unentertaining episode ...

Random Musings: MELROSE PLACE, Simon Cowell, NIP/TUCK & More!
2009-07-02 02:04:00 Who told Ashlee Simpson she could act? Her laughable performance is a weak spot in the surprisingly strong MELROSE PLACE pilot. Is Simon Cowell really worth $144 million a year? And if the show truly believes the nasty Brit is the big draw, what does that say about us as an audience that we tune in to hear him being a jerk? Can a show remain relevant if it airs two years after filming? Guess we’ll find out when NIP/TUCK’s final episode — taped in early June — finally airs… in 2011! Does the world really need TWO fragrances from Patrick Dempsey? This one’s easy: No. Next? Is there anything more disturbing that “slash fiction” in which STAR TREK’s Spock and Kirk get it on? Yes. The downright nightmare-inducing scenes depicted in Hustler video’s line of classic-TV-inspired porn, including a threesome between TREK’s Spock, Kirk and Uhura and a flick titled EVERYBODY LOVES LUCY in which… well, let’s just say that when...

Random Musings: BETTER OF TED, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER & MELROSE PLACE
2009-03-19 16:03:00 As if this week’s years-in-development-million-do-llar rebrand of NBC Universal’s Sci-Fi Channel to SyFy (a name that was coincidentally coined by friend of theTVaddict.com Michael Hinman over a decade ago) wasn’t evidence enough that Hollywood has officially run out of original ideas, check out these two eerily similar marketing campaigns for ABC’s new comedy BETTER OFF TED and ABC Family’s signature series GREEK.

Some Friday "Meta" Musings
2009-03-13 22:59:00 I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine about the topic I?m about to address, and I thought I?d share some of what we discussed (I?ve tried to find a way to work this into a post, but I?ve been unsuccessful).To begin, I should point out that there are a lot of people out there doing good work when it comes to organizing others into a consensus on a particular issue (I immediately think of folks like Michael Morrill at Keystone Progress when I say that, individuals who haven?t let up one inch since the election, as well as MoveOn.org and other business-related advocacy groups). And I personally think there?s always more that I can or should do, despite the fact that working on this site consumes a lot of time (as well as trying to generate stuff to keep people coming back to the Wordpress site).But I?m a bit concerned because, based on my observations (which may not be completely representative of what?s going on ? I hope not, anyway), it seems that those opposed to what Ba...

Slumdog Musings
2009-02-01 20:41:00 One just can't get enough of Slumdog Millionaire. Everything and everyone involved with the film have suddenly become mighty busy what with the media keeping a watch on their every move. Last heard Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were really getting cozy somewhere in a public place. Hmm...is it publicity or...?Meanwhile, Freida is being trained to walk on the red carpet at the Oscars by none other than Kate Winslet. Can you believe that? Lucky girl. Although Dev Patel would have loved to be trained by Kate Winslet.In all these accolades and glory lies also a story which is not so rosy. There was a recent controversy that the kids who played the younger versions of Jamal and Salim and Latika were not paid enough. But from what I have heard is that they have been paid much more than they would have earned here in Mumbai and also their education is being taken care of by the producers. It is actually the fathers of the children who are trying to create some sort of situation to rake in mor...

Random Musings: Digital TV, Donna Martin, Donald Trump & More!
2009-01-09 16:30:00 You know all those really annoying commercials about the switch to Digitial TV that we’ve been forced to endure for the past year or so. Well, get ready for a lot more of them. As Broadcasting & Cable reports this week that President-elect Barack Obama has pressed pause on those pesky little issues like fixing the economy and the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan in order to ask Congress to delay the proposed DTV (Digital TV) transition date past the February 17 deadline. Begging the question, if America can’t manage a relatively simple switch to Digital TV that has been years in the making, what chance does Universal Healthcare have? We’re just sayin’. According to ">E! Online, Donna Martin is indeed heading back to America’s favorite zip code. Which means it’s time for this TV Addict to offer a little bit of free advice to the ‘brains’ behind the new 90210. Ready? Because here we go in 3… 2… 1… Fans are neve...

Random Musings: BROTHERS & SISTERS, BOSTON LEGAL and GREY’S ANATOMY
2008-12-08 19:05:00 ARVIN SLOANE IN DA HOUSE On the off chance Sol and Tommy are having trouble formulating a plan to rid Walker Landing of the duplicitous and some might say borderline evil Holly Harper. We’ve got five letters to get the ball rolling: WWASD (What Would Arvin Sloane Do!) ABC, YOU’VE BEEN SERVED Even though some might say we’re equally culpable for completely ignoring the genius that is BOSTON LEGAL over the course these past four seasons. This TV Addict would like to use this opportunity to shift the blame to the real guilty party, ABC. I mean it’s almost as if creator genius hyphenate David E. Kelly was sending some sort of cryptic message to the proverbial powers that be when he had Betty White’s Catherine PIper sue the networks during last week’s penultimate episode for failing to cater to anyone outside of the 18-34 demographic.

Random Musings: GOSSIP GIRL, ELI STONE & TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR C
2008-12-03 16:23:00 Memo to all current and future “Mean Girls.” If the best plan you can come up with to humiliate a rival girl at your upcoming Christmas, Holiday and/or Snowflake Dance is to highlight her smokin’ hot body in front of the well, the entire student body. You may want to consider going back to the drawing board. We’re just saying — by shining the spotlight both literally and figuratively on a barley clad Vanessa during Monday’s installment of GOSSIP GIRL, the Constance Meanies and Little J not only delivered the most PG wardrobe malfunction ever, they ensured that Vanessa is now etched in the fantasties of virtually every boy and probably more than a few girls at school. Dear DirecTV. Now that you’ve successfully become the coolest satellite provider on the face of the planet by helping co-finance a third season of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.

Musings on Dual Loyalty, Judaism as Zionism, and Anti-Semitism
2008-11-10 12:17:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Always-perceptive commenter James Schipper makes some astute, terse and cut to the chase comments on my post, The "New Anti-Semitism". In it, he moves beyond the typically vulgar anti-Semitism that much modern anti-Zionism descends into and offers a perfectly logical explanation for the dual loyalty accusation leveled at Jews.He also brings up some very difficult questions about the differences between Judaism and Zionism and whether there is really any difference at all.Schipper: If criticism of Israel = anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism, then we should be proud to call ourselves anti-Semites.What is really wrong with Israel? It is not such a bad country for Jews, or even for the Arabs in Israel proper. I would rather be a Jew in Israel than an Arab in any Arab country. Israel was born in sin, but so was every country in the Western hemisphere. I...

Random Musings: ELI STONE, 90210 & HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3
2008-10-29 17:40:00 The Good: From Weathersby Posner & Klein’s original and inspiring mission statement to “serve the public good and honor the public trust” that was scribbled on a napkin thirty years prior (Bartlett for America anyone?), to the master class in acting put forth by Victor “Where’s My Emmy?” Garber, “good” doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings when it comes to last night’s installment of ELI STONE. Especially now that we know that Eli’s future includes making it all the way to the Supreme Court alongside friend and mentor Jordan Weathersby. (And yes, in case you’re wondering, this TV Addict’s jaw is still partially on the floor following last night’s shocking final scene involving Maggie Decker siding with the evil that is Posner & Klein.) The Bad: 90210. Whose committee of showrunners don’t seem to “get” that fans are not in the business of caring about couples they’...

Random Musings: KNIGHT RIDER, Mena Suvari & HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
2008-10-21 21:53:00 As much as this TV Addict would like to agree with Maureen Ryan’s assertion that the only reason NBC President Ben Silverman picked up KNIGHT RIDER for the entire season is because “KITT has taken over NBC!” I can’t help but feel that a car running a major television network is somewhat ridiculous. Which is why I’d like to take this opportunity to post theTVaddict.com’s very own theory that let’s face it, makes way more sense. Brace yourself… because Ben Silverman is obviously a Cylon and renewing KNIGHT RIDER is all a part of his secret pro-machine agenda. Flipping through this week’s fantastic issue of Entertainment Weekly featuring a sneak peak of J.J. Abrams STAR TREK re-boot, this TV Addict couldn’t help but notice an advertisement for Lifetime’s SEX AND LIES IN SIN CITY, starring Mena Suvari. Begging the question: What happened to the young actress who broke onto the scene with scene-stealing turns in AMERICAN...

Well, that would sum up my previous week.Sometimes I wish I could just pick up some remote control (does this sound too much like Click?)and press the pause button.Despite the hectic planning and stuff that should be in motion for the upcoming nuptials, strangely I find myself uninvolved.Probably because I'm away from where all the action is?Some part of me is glad that I'll be back just in time for the event.Yet...

It's taking awhile for reality to sink in and the implications of what's to happen.It's like, I'd be sitting around and suddenly the realisation that some things will never be the same again will kick in.I'm freaking out at the thought of that.Maybe I'm just scared of change.I've been thinking...

Random Musings: CRUSOE, THE OFFICE, 90210, 30 ROCK & TV Guide
2008-10-17 23:07:00 Is anyone else still scratching their head over NBC’s decision to offer up a FREE iTunes download of 30 ROCK’s season premiere a week early when you purchase the October 27th issue of TV Guide Magazine? I mean don’t get me wrong, this TV Addict is all for free iTunes downloads, after-all, who doesn’t love free stuff [see today’s previous post.] I’m just not so sure that TV Guide was the right strategic partner considering that the once mighty guide now finds itself in such dire financial straits that it was recently sold for $1 [no really, one dollar!] That and, I’d hazard to guess that the people who still use TV Guide as a “Guide to What’s On” include some of the few remaining folks who are old enough to remember when 30 Rockefeller Center was built. Not exactly NBC’s desired demographic. Paging Entertainment Weekly… anyone? With the one caveat being Michael wanting a “Golden Shower” of his very ...

Random Musings: 90210
2008-10-02 02:02:00 As SMALLVILLE fans know all too well, the CW is never slow to jump on a product placement opportunity. Which is why this TV Addict has spent the better part of Wednesday scratching his head as to how the fledgling network completely missed the ball when it comes to 90210 and the loads of cash they could be making from the incredibly obvious cell phone tie in. Let’s face it, if Emmy’s were given out this early in the season for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama, Kelly and Brenda’s cellphone carrier would most definitely have to be considered a top five candidate. Thanks to brilliance that is Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and/or AT&T’s cellphone network [See how easy that was? To paraphrase 30 ROCK’s Tina Fey, can theTVaddict.com have our money now!?], 90210 showrunners Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah have managed to keep fans, not to mention Kelly and Brenda connected to original cast members Brandon and Dylan without (a) having pay them or (b) having to beg, p...

Random Musings: TERMINATOR, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER & THE BIG BANG THEORY
2008-10-01 00:12:00 Just as God no doubt intended, this TV Addict spent his Rosh Hashanah afternoon off by enjoying a mini marathon of Monday night television. With, in the spirit of the holiday, a side of Apples and Honey. HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER Even a song courtesy of Dr. Horrible himself, Neil Patrick Harris wasn’t enough to save last night’s far from stellar installment of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Not only did Marshall’s quest for the perfect burger hit a little too close to home, with this TV Addict’s all-time favorite Burger joint located thousands of miles across the country [see: Splitz in Whistler, BC]. I couldn’t help but find Barney’s shameless love affair with his company’s new client, the fictional Goliath National Bank somewhat depressing considering the economic crisis millions of Americans currently finding themselves in.

IMPORTANCE OF WEB HOSTING
2008-09-13 09:22:00 As I have promised, I made this in continuation with my previous post about understanding web hosting. So, just a quick review, web hosting is the physical storage of files like hard disks on computers where huge files can be placed. Web hosting companies provide servers in which data are stored and smooth connectivity to the internet is guaranteed.Then why the heck it's very important to businesses? Well, that is a question We will tackle now.There are so many things why web hosting is important to businesses. The first thing is that people tend to rely on the internet regarding convenience. When you have a website for your business, it will be easy for you to post your products. It looks like you have an online shop where customers can select what they like. It is also very convenient because your business operates 24/7. You can also accept payments off line via Paypal or credit cards.Web hosting varies from prices to security. One thing you have to be careful though, you need t...

CREDIT CARD APPLICATION
2008-09-10 18:12:00 There are things you need to consider when applying to have credit cards. Of course, you need to take a look at your credit rating. The better rating, the better chances of acquiring the best credit card option. You also need to consider that when applying, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are okay and good to go. The authority to issue all credit cards simultaneously rests with the issuer(The bank or the financial institution), who will first ensure whether you have a reliable financial background and you are in good faith.You should also compare different features the credit card options have: fluctuating interest rates, Annual Percentage Rates (APR s),credit limits, fees associated, penalties, billing cycles, grace periods, specs for cash advances and balance transfers, rewards, and other implied costs. If I were to choose, I would rather go for a low interest credit card.You also need to choose a card that best suits you. You may select from personal credit cards to busines...

LUCKY YOU!
2008-09-07 11:13:00 I like Eric Bana. I might have not watched all of his movies (I just actually watched one, and it's incredible hulk) but his acting style is considerably one of the best among Hollywood male celebrities.One of his movies that I wish I had watched on a wide screen was "Lucky you". The film was about a guy (Eric Bana who plays Huck Cheever) who is very skillful as a Poker player but fails to translate his talent into his love life attempts to win the World Series of Poker while earning the love of a Las Vegas singer, Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore). There is one obstacle though as his rival on the game is his father (Robart Duvall), the poker legend who left them years ago.I wonder if the thrill is the same if they play the game on the internet. Will Huck feel the same tension? Will the prize be bigger? Lucky us! Flipturnriver.com gives us a wonderful shot on the hottest Poker games around the net.

FULFILLING FULFILLMENT
2008-09-04 18:29:00 Tracking the orders for the item has never been easy. It is okay if customers will just ask about the tracking information but once they can not locate their item, that's how the waterloo starts. You need to consider multiple factors in locating the item. First, you need to check the record for the fulfillment date of the order. (Fulfillment stage is where the customer has already paid for the order and the item/s will be ready to be shipped out from the seller's warehouse.). You also need to check how many days will the item will be shipped out through the order fulfillment section. These ship out process usually happens within the business days so you have to check your calendar for such.Obviously, you also need to check the carriers of the item. It can be through USPS, FedEx, UPS, UPSMI, and FedEx Smart post (and DHL sometimes). then you can check if the item is still on its way or if it has already been delivered. If it had already passed the delivery date, you still have to c...

Well, taking the fact that they're rich and famous, you should expect that their pads are as gorgeous and stylish as far as your imagination will take you. My favorite then was Ricky Reyes's.Aside from the fabulous interiors, the celebrities also showcased their prized possessions.

Gustav, Katrina Musings
2008-08-29 20:47:00 I have spent the last couple of days preparing for Gustav and having panic attacks. I really have no idea what I am doing.I really don't want to be here during a hurricane and I really don't want to sit in my car with my girls and my pets for hours on end in non moving traffic off to parts unknown. I checked the hotels for 600 miles and none are available. The closest hotels I could find were in Tennessee. Some of my friends are leaving tonight to miss the traffic and they already have hotel reservations. I could make a reservation and go hang out in Tennessee until the storm hits. I could stay here and wait to see where the storm is going to hit. They are now saying it will hit in Western Louisiana and we wont get wind over 50 MPH here. In that case it seems prudent to stay home. If I chose to stay home, to wait and see and only evacuate if we get the order to evacuate then I will have to evacuate with the masses. Another friend told me that during an evacuation it take...
LIfe at the mountain....
2008-08-25 04:40:00 It has been eight years since I was selected as one of the lucky few to enter the Philippine High School for the Arts. Of course, as the name says, the institution is aimed to hone the selected students' skill in their particular Art Major. Like me, my Major is Visual Arts. The school is located at one of the peaks of Mt. Makiling. Obviously, our place is quite secluded and high. The view was very nice. Since we are on a mountain, the only time we can go to our homes is during weekends. Dormitories and food were provided for our stay. I can say that living on the mountain is a different experience especially if you came from an urban area. You listen to the tune of the cicadas roaming around the trees outside your room, you hear the giant lizard's grunts to signal that a rain is approaching, and you also share spooky stories with your roommates in the glow of the lamps during midnight. Speaking of lamps, each and every student has a unique one. We were required to use it (just i...
TRADE SHOW GALORE!
2008-08-23 05:20:00 I am so happy I experienced even for once to attend a Trade show. I remember when I was still in college, our Dean invited me to go with him to the Philippine Trade Center to witness the different Filipino made products being showcased to attract foreign market and subsequently, for export. Our Dean was also invited there to conduct a seminar regarding Franchise Management. I was so astounded as I entered the hall. I never expected to be as grand as that. The trade show displays are so enticing that you would really visit each and every stall. The products vary from food to handicrafts and furniture. The hall is also filled with people from different parts of the country. The stall that gathered so much attention was the SPA booth. They had these huge banner stands that really attracted visitors. They have a miniature spa (and they even put bermuda grasses to make it look real!) in which people can have try. I figured out then that you really need to make your stall very presentab...
LEGO MANIA
2008-08-22 12:20:00 Oh my, oh my.. How I love my childhood days. I might not be as athletic and active as any normal child during that time (Yes, I do not know how to swim nor ride a bike that time--shoot.) but I can say that I am not a total loser because I have lots of cousins and friends whom I can come up with alternative toys and games (those that not require expensive toys,biking and other extremes). Also, my mom made me surrounded with lots of amazing "detachable" blocks to rollick at."Detachable" blocks eh? Haha! I am talking about Lego. Thanks to my cousin who enticed me to have one too. He handed me a catalog and it was Outrageous! There are lots of stuff like people and trees and all things that you can think of! I was so intrigued that I persuaded my mom to go to the mall with me to buy one. My first "real" Lego then was a mini castle with a glowing ghost and a knight riding on a horse! I did not become contended with that set so I eventually bought another one, then another one, until I ca...

Southern Fried Musings
2008-07-22 14:34:00 It's not so hot here in the deep south, unless you go outside. Yesterday, we had a ton of errands and seemed to get only far away parking spaces. Living a sheltered life, from air conditioned house to air conditioned car, I had no idea it was hotter than an oven out there. We only have two weeks until school starts. The other day Jeff said something, I wasn't really listening, and it included bla, bla, bla eight years of marriage. I looked at him like he was crazy. Have I really been married eight years, seems like just yesterday. Actually he is exaggerating, it wont be eight years until November. Lily is five and starting kindergarten, Jeff and I have been married for nearly eight years, and our Mandy is just shy of 18. Didn't I just graduate from hight school last week?

Old News, New News
2008-06-21 19:23:00 So! After all the music criticism I’ve done, I’ve received at least three whole requests for me to complement some music.

Musings of a former analyst
2008-06-19 02:00:00 Morning all, Welcome to my new blog, where I'll be musing upon the weird and occasionally fascinating world of security information and event management (SIEM). Before we start, though, people might have a few questions that I'll try to answer right now. Didn't you used to be an analyst? Yep, I used to cover the SIEM space for Forrester, as well as a bunch of data security and architecture topics. However, all good things must come to an end - I was certainly approaching the end of my shelf life in that world. It was a privilege, though, as I got to spend a huge amount of time talking to people about their security priorities and looking at how that translated into requirements for new tools and ways of doing things.

Pilipinas!
2008-06-09 09:05:00 I took that picture from inside my car while I was waiting for the light to turn green. It’s a shot of Katipunan Ave. without the usual traffic. The man walking on the island (you can only see his back) was selling Philippine flags in different sizes. I don’t know if it’s the fact that ... |
