Day 26: Mego’s The World’s Greatest Superheroes
Published by November 30th, 2009 in 1102xmaS. 2 CommentsNow, I have to admit that Stretch Armstong was very cool, and I had one growing up. But when I saw the commercial for Stretch Armstrong’s arch nemesis Stretch Monster I was sold, I think the music sealed the deal. I’d already fallen in love with the Creature from the Black Lagoon by then, and [...]
Right now I’m enjoying a cable comma. And one of my favorite parts of cable is looking at how they are programming channels. To me HBO is shot right now, nothing interesting whatsoever, given I hate Curb Your Enthusiasm, and find Larry David about as unfunny as they come.. The channel I constantly find myself [...]
Back in 1978, this was without question my single favorite toy of all time, and in my opinion the greatest of the Kenner Star Wars toys back in the day. A given it’s pure awesomeness it in many ways remains one of my boyhood toys closest to my heart. The trash compactor filled with foam, [...]

Keep in mind this, as well as the Motel Hell clip I blogged early this [...]
A Yawp for Help! Describing Whitman in the World
Published by November 23rd, 2009 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsMeghan Edwards is a student in the Digital Whitman class here at UMW, and she has come up with an extremely interesting idea for a final project that takes advantage of the social networking tools we have been using this semester. She is interested in getting as much feedback as possible on how the world [...]
I just saw a part of Made of Honor (2008)—couldn’t stomach the whole thing—which is a derivative romantic comedy that is nothing more than a vehicle for the “dreamy” Patrick Dempsey. I have been musing about the scene and how bloggers are portrayed in Hollywood, and when I searched the phrase “bloggers portrayed in recent [...]
George Meadows from the Education department here at UMW just turned Martha and I on to MapLib. It’s a tool that basically allows you to add web-based images to the site and lay the Google Maps interface on top of the image so that you can add markers to a customized map. More than that, [...]
