Stuck On You

Peel and stick is all the rage! I love the graphic impact and the best part:
Temporary and easy to remove.

How Clever: Puma Glow Rider Bike

This glow-in-the-dark bike seems like such an obvious idea that I can’t believe it has never been done before.


The bike, when released this Spring, will be part of Puma’s Urban Mobility line, which are athletic products and programs geared toward city slickers. The Glow Rider’s steel frame is coated in glowing paint that charges during the day and glows when the sun goes down. The bike has also been designed to partially fold – making it easier for apartment dwellers in walk-ups – and includes an innovative, built-in lock system for locking outdoors. No word yet on the price but rumors have it starting at over $1600.

Gone Country

I’ve mentioned a few times how difficult it has been to get hi-def, DVR cable service up here in the mountains. The last time I mentioned it, I was waiting for Direct TV to arrive and when they did, they said they could give me cable but they wouldn’t be able to provide the local channels. Unfortunately, I can’t live without Big Brother, Amazing Race, Survivor, and I suppose even Lost. So I had to give up the dream of super vivid shows when I want them and get regular digital cable (no DVR and not hi-def) from our local cable provider. We’ve had that for about a week now and until Tivo arrives (tomorrow!!), if we want to watch TV, we have to watch what’s on when we turn on the TV and no fast forwarding through commercials. How did we ever survive like this in the last Millennium?

So we have been listening to a lot of music and its been really nice but last night, I was home alone and just wanted to veg out in front of the idiot screen. I lucked out and caught an episode of The Fattest Losers Couple Edition and The Real Housewives of the O.C. reunion. But the real gem of the evening was undoubtedly, Gone Country on the CMT channel.


The premise of this show is “musicians” from various musical genres are picked to live together in a house and find out what happens when people stop being polite and get real live the life of a country singer with the ultimate goal of being picked to record and release a country song. Here’s where it gets fun, the musicians are Sisqó, Maureen McCormick (singer/actor, The Brady Bunch), Julio Iglesias Jr.(not as hot as his brother but apparently he has never been told that), Diana DeGarmo, Dee Snider (I don’t think he is gonna make it), Carnie Wilson, and every body’s favorite TV train wreck – Bobby Brown.

If you haven’t seen Gone Country yet, you have only missed one episode so I highly recommend setting your DVRs to record this one.

Dead Or Alive?

The gist of this post is so simple and obvious that I would be surprised if someone else isn’t already doing it on a blog or other form or media. If someone else is doing it, I’ve never heard of you and, quite frankly, it’s not my fault that you have so little buzz that you’ve remained unheard of to me.

The rules are simple, I post a picture and ask the question, Dead or Alive? then you answer.

This week – actor and star of 80′s SciFi hit, The Black Hole, Ernest Borgnine. Dead or Alive?
