    Verizon to buy AOL

    ISPs buying content and media outlets is not great news from a net neutrality standpoint, but I don't know if AOL has any properties that they haven't already run into the ground. I haven't read Engadget since AOL bought them and all of their main editors bolted for The Verge. I'm pretty sure...

    That is cool, but what are they going to use it for exactly? Do they have some sort of computerized fertilizer application that is going to use these pics to decide how much to apply where?

    It's been 24 hours. I'm officially bored with deflategate again.

    Bill Simmons leaving ESPN.

    What are the chances that he gets fired the same week that Brady gets suspended for deflategate. There have to be some conspiracy theories forming in Boston about this.

    The churches would have changed the time on their services. Preachers know they don't stay in business by trying to compete with NFL football.

    Mad Men

    Well, if it makes you feel better I listened to a Matt Weiner interview on Fresh Air this week and he pretty much said any symbolism in Mad Men is coincidental and he's tired of people asking him if stuff was intentional.

    Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck

    I really liked this movie, particularly all of the remixes/covers of the Nirvana songs. Definitely takes me back to the 90s. It's pretty crazy that they were able to get all of those notebooks and home movies and shit too. I'm surprised that Courtney let them shoot her lit like that. She...

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    I will always associate Jennifer Jason Leigh's tits with the psycho in "Single White Female" but Miami Blues sounds like something I could get behind.

    Smartphones

    How much data do you use? I always tell people to just let the grandfathered plan go. Most people have access to wifi most of the time anyway and they are going to take that plan from you sooner or later once there are few enough people with it that they don't give a fuck if they get mad...

    Mad Men

    I was coming here to post the same thing. Pete's story was great this episode. I really hope there is something like that for Peggy in the finale. I'm kind of surprised that Betty is so serene about her impending death. I'm not sure if it's noble or just more of her being selfish. The...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Jesus I would never come here for relationship advice. She sounds like she is depressed. Probably at least in part because of you and your no marriage stance. When people love each other in this society they get married, and no amount of you standing on a soap box and blow-harding about it...

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Dude. That movie is at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and it's the *worst* movie you've ever seen in a theater? I will give you credit that you were a teenager and it probably went over your head but if you still feel that way your taste is questionable.

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    I wanted to see Meg Ryan's tits. I did. It wasn't worth it. Trying to get some of my money's worth I walked across the hall into the second half of Scary Movie 3 which was equally horrible. Definitely the worst 3 hours I have spent in a movie theater.

    Season 1 was a totally different game, and to some extent Richard Hatch was the only one that was really playing. There were people in S1 that were literally voting for people in alphabetical order.

    I did not use the crash guard. It looked cheesy so I didn't bother but I guess I should have. Soldering a couple wires is well within my abilities so maybe someday I will have to try to get it going again and see if I can reduce my level of suck.

    Podcasts Misc

    If you're looking for sports podcasts NFL network has a couple I like. The ones I listen to are "The Dave Dameshek Football Program" and "Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah". Dameshek's is sort of comedy and football talk from a fan's perspective. Daniel Jeremiah is a former scout and he...

    I watched S1 and was totally addicted but then for some reason didn't watch again until Season 15 which I liked just as much as S1 and haven't missed an episode since then. I don't know what made me stop watching it after S1. I vaguely remember watching the first episode of Australia but then...

    The Hubsan is what I have. One of the motors spins at a different speed than the rest so it won't fly at all anymore. I understand that you can replace the motor and I think I even have a spare one somewhere but I haven't taken the time to figure out how to do it.

    I have different colored props but when they're 1 inch in diameter and 50 feet away it's not that obvious. I have thought about painting the whole front or something.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    I think it's a bit early to call Bortles a bust. Very few QBs look great in their rookie season, and I don't even count RG3/Wilson/Kaepernick in recent years because what they did as rookies wasn't exactly quarterbacking.

    I bought a little $60 quad copter and I can't fucking fly that thing to save my life. I was pretty good at the little helicopters but the fact that you can't tell the front from the back screws me up and then after you crash it 10 times it's broken. I also almost lost it a couple times because...

    Man, most rumors are saying 4-6 games. I'm all for making people in Boston miserable and especially Azeth but that is pretty crazy if true. I thought it would be one game, two at most. Honestly I would have been fine with him being fined $30K or something. I'm pretty sure every quarterback...

    This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Tarantino needs to put Sam Jackson out to pasture. I loved him in pulp fiction, but he's kind of become a parody of himself now.

    EW.com asked Jeff this question and he said that if either of them wins then they will not be eligible for next season and votes for them will not count. Also, I don't remember many of those players and seeing pictures of them with their hair combed and shit is not helping much.

    I didn't expect Caroline to flip on Tyler this early but it was a smart move. If she winds up sitting next to anybody but Mike I think she wins.

    My best work lunch was once when we drove 40 miles to go to Zachary's pizza in Berkeley. Left work at 11, got back at 4 PM and met the secretary in the hall as she was leaving for the day. Sometimes it was nice working in a place where nobody gave a fuck.

    This week's girl seems delightful. Whether she is a good survivalist, she seems like she would be nice to hang out with for 3 weeks. Not bringing a fire starter is such a big fuck up. The primitive fire making techniques are all terrible. I guess this blows my theory about the items being...
