This enables me to once again bemoan how chronically underappreciated Max Headroom continues to be to this day. In all seriousness, if there was ever one television series that proved itself to be more and more precient with each passing year, I’d like to know what it was. Okay, so maybe we all got hooked to our computer monitors instead of our television screens, but how many people are using the same screen for both now? Matt, you are missed as Max Headroom, and I…
Seriously, what is with all the people who make the computer operating systems of our time remaining so freakishly young-looking well into middle age? Steve Jobs seems to be the only one who doesn’t seem to mind showing some beard stubble and a little grey in his hair. Dick Clark has nothing on these guys.

I just hope I get over this bug in time to enjoy the start of winter vacation. Still,…
It’s Tom Waits’ 58th birthday today. Happy birthday, Tom, and on that note, let’s go lickety-splitly to the friday5.org Friday Five. 1. What playground game do you remember most fondly?None of them, really. The playground where I went to public school, and more specifically the kids in that playground, are the reason why I have a chip out of one of my front teeth (and a good part of the reason why I started going to private school). 2.
