Slow TV. Leave it to the Norwegians. Vikings. Brave. Norwegians! The only people fearless enough and patient enough to broadcast a 7 hour train trip in real time….and enjoy watching the results. I can waste a lot of time “fast”….how … Continue reading

send me someplace strange…

What a job….getting sent someplace different from what you know….to report on it. What a good deal to be able to experience some of these things. Here’s a story about a reporter who goes to Northern Finland to meet a … Continue reading

Snoopy’s House

Awwwww. Nice. When you’re done being a rockstar, this is what you should do with your money. Here’s the YouTube description of this video…. Alban “Snoopy” Pfisterer is still perhaps most well known as the drummer for the rock-band ‘Love’ … Continue reading

Jimmy.

I don’t think that Jimmy Carter is remembered for having a very successful presidency. That’s the feeling I get if I listen to Rush Limbaugh, at least. I don’t want to listen to Rush Limbaugh. Listen to this speech, though. … Continue reading
