A few months ago, Steve posted about a television series which, at the time, appeared unusually to be receiving its first airing on the Sci-Fi channel. By that time, the series was up to something like episode 6 and it didn’t seem like a good idea to start watching at that point. I now am [...]

MediaGuardian.co.uk | Media | David Remnick on the cancellation of The West Wing … education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don’t need little changes, we need gigantic changes.

Yesterday morning, I thought I would let my daughter (2) watch “Shrek 2” Why is that DVD makers make it so time-consuming to play the blasted film? You can’t just slap in the DVD, press play and walk away. You have to wait while it plays some stupid THX introduction, and a few corporate logos, [...]
