Blender videos for Blendtec Total Blender: ‘Will It Blend?’
Here’s a kooky little item I saw on Pogue’s Posts and decided to steal: Will It Blend? The site, created by Orem, Utah based heavy-duty blender maker Blendtec, advertises their impressive Total Blender via David Letterman-inspired viral video...‘North Country’ (2005 Charlize Theron movie)
Honored with two Academy Award nominations in 2006, North Country finally worked its way to the top of my Netflix queue recently. It was a pretty good rental. You’ve probably seen stories similar to this one a number of times. The woman-in-a-hostile-workplace,...Erasing José Padilla, United States citizen
In his special comment about “sacrifice” last night, Keith Olbermann spoke of the way President Bush has been able to “deaden the collective mind of this country to the pointlessness of endless war, against the wrong people, in the wrong place, at...Braunschweiger or liver sausage, Kemen brand liverwurst is best
It was about a year ago that Amy’s sister Donna, who now lives “up north,” stayed with us. She had been instructed by her husband to bring back some honest-to-goodness Braunschweiger, which, like honest-to-goodness Mexican food, cannot be found in...Edward R.

Amy and I visited New Orleans in the spring of 1992 on a road trip through Arkansas and Louisiana, and immediately fell in love with the culture of the whole area, which has had a lasting impact on our cooking, reading and musical tastes. Another road trip in 2003...Where to find music?
It was simple when I was, say, 17. I could tune my radio to 93 XRT and just leave it there to hear my favorite music and some exciting new stuff at any time of the day or night. Now, it’s been years since I listened to WXRT. If I look at what they’re...US broadband speed is slower than Slovenia
I was standing in my nephew’s bedroom a couple of months back, waiting with my sister-in-law for a YouTube video to load before unpausing it. “Is it this slow for you?” she asked me. I believe they’re using DSL from the phone company, but I...‘Junebug’ (Amy Adams movie, 2005)
Junebug (2005) was nominated for one Academy Award®, which is how I came to hear about it, but it was not talked about very much, and it stars nobody whose name I recognize. Now it is one of my favorite movies. It’s the story of a recently married Chicago...
