2009 Audi A4

After seeing this commercial I almost want to get another Audi when my lease is up in December. Anyone know who sings this song. I think it is the reason I am drawn to the car.

Early Dave: The Letterman Tapes

This video is a set of clips of different interviews with David Letterman before he went on to CBS to do The Late Show. It may be that I am going to see Conan O' Brien in a week and a half that has me all interested in this sort of thing, but if you have 51 minutes and you like late night shows grab a bag of popcorn and a beverage and sit back and enjoy.

The Office - Weight Loss

Thanks to my local NBC affiliate Channel 3 signal going dead after 21 minutes of the show, I had to watch my season premiere of The Office on hulu.com. I decided to post it on here if you too missed out too.

The Office returns TONIGHT!

Set up the TiVo's for the 1 hour season premiere of The Office tonight at 9PM. I hope you like this show Dan..

24 returns Nov 23

I was addicted to the show 24 a few years ago and then missed season 6 and last year the writer strike canceled the show. Now Jack Bauer returns and this time he is taking care of South Africa, so program your TiVo. (Update) This will be a special 2 hour TV movie to get you ready for Season 7 that will start in January.

Nintendo Wii - My Fear

Almost everyone I know is getting a Wii and it is still hard to find the system in most stores. The other day I was at Best Buy checking out Wii games with both of my nieces and they were showing me different games they wanted and I noticed a few others that were cheap at $20. Did I say a few others, there were tons of crappy looking cheap games and the first thing that came to mind was the gaming crash of the early 1980's.

The main reason for this crash in the early 80's was the flood of crappy low quality games and multiple systems with everyone trying to make a buck and the industry wouldn't be what it is today without the Nintendo NES coming out in 1985 and becoming very popular by making good quality games and saving the day. I never had a ColecoVision, Intellivision, or Atari system, but a friend of mine down the street had one and I remember how bad the games were. Just check out this game, classified by many as one of the worst games of all time.

See, I told you it was bad. Nintendo is on a roll and making a lot of money with the still hard to find Wii, but I am just hoping that the Wii does not create the same problem and make people stop buying Nintendo products. I really like Nintendo for all that they have done over the years, eventhough I do find myself playing the Xbox 360 and PS3 more because of the HD graphics and I know they both have bad games, but seriously, not as many that are on the Wii.

After I starting writing this I found this chart through Google. It contains the average ratings of game reviews on all of the most recent systems. Wow, exactly what I observed by browsing though the BB aisles, but most consumers aren't as observant as I am so once again the game makers better change something before they do figure out what is going on. Here is what you can do, go to Metacritic to find out the average score for a game before you buy it, maybe if everyone can get their friends to do this also, then the game makers will figure it out and stop flooding the market with these lower quality games.

A Horse Named Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Arrrrrr.

Messin' With Sasquatch, Cold One

I love these commercials.

Shoe Circus - Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates

Saw this last night during the NFL season opener and thought it was pretty funny. I hope Microsoft can open their eyes and make their products better than what they have been doing lately. Some may call me a Mac Fanboy, but I still enjoy clever marketing and this commercial did just that by its pure genius of putting Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld in a commercial together.

[update]

David (my commenter) - I think they have good chemistry together. But then again, I am a huge Seinfeld fan and my opinion might be skewed a little.

Also, regardless of what this commercial does for the product name exactly doesn't matter. It is causing an uproar and at the end of the day good publicity, bad publicity anything will make people remember. To the common consumer, which these commercials are directed towards; will remember Microsoft and that is pure GENIUS.

I wanna go fast!

Tivo on the brains

No wonder why I have Tivo on the brain. First I see that Tivo released the new HD XL and now I read that DirecTV and Tivo are developing a new box that will be released in the second half of 2009. I loved my HR10-250 and was very disappointed when DirecTV went to a generic DVR.

Google Chrome

Google has added a new weapon to their arsenal of apps. It is a lightweight internet browser called Google Chrome. I have only been using Google Chrome since yesterday but I wanted to let you what my initial thoughts were. So far it is running fine for me and does everything it should, but I haven't figured out how to print something (probaly hiding from me). The funny thing is that it is different than any other browser I have ever used and yet I find it simple. Now all Google needs to do is sell a cheap and small computer that runs this browser and you pretty much would be set with Gmail and Google apps for word and excel.
