What’s happening to the series Heroes from a very good season 1 to a very terrible season 2 to a very mediocre season 3 is hard to watch.

I think these are some of the contributing factors:

  • No decent writers to out do a unique season 1 story line
  • The need to show all of the ensemble cast in each episode
  • Being a commercial success in season 1 perhaps opened  the door for too many chefs in the kitchen
  • Unbelievably, the show picked up many simply bad actors

We should just let Heroes fade away…

“Loud ‘N Clear - the personal sound amplifier that looks just like a cell phone headset.” Like looking like a cell phone headset is a good thing.

“Isn’t he cute?” was what they actually said in the commercial. LOL!

I’m actually very proud of my country right now…

Not that it did the right thing… but that it is capable of doing the right thing.

Mrs. Palin came to town, on the “Straight Talk Express,” as I was leaving work.

I’m glad I wasn’t wearing my moose horns hat. PaPow!

Looks interesting. Sort of a 3D platform-builder game.

When filling out a resume for my first professional programming job. When all I had were a couple of months in a restaurant, a summer in a factory. It took all the flowery language a 19 year-old can muster, but I still couldn't fill out an entire page. That's when you got to resort to intramural sports, and a stint with Campus Wellness for extra credits.

Yeah, the above intereview reminded me of that.

OK, it’s really an ad, but I actually rewound and watched it again. No, I’m not looking for a phone, but I like their ad format. This has much potential to other stuff… Hmmm…

Is it even possible to do 100 push ups in a row? I never thought so. Until I heard about hundredspushups.com. They promise to train you to do it within 6 weeks or sooner.

 

So, what you’d do is to take the initial test. Since I could do 24 in a row, that places me at rank # 3, that is week # 3 on the 6 weeks schedule.

So, this is my week 3 schedule based on the initial test. I’ll see if this program has staying power :)
