Hurricane Irene NBC Nightly News

NBC`s Nightly news with Brian Williams is my favourite newscast. Since Hurricane Irene is headed directly for 30 Rock, HQ of NBC News, you might forgive this Saturday's episode to be a tad hurricane obsessed.

Naked Against the Power of Hurricane Irene

Funny video I found on Youtube thanks to the #StormPorn Twitter hastag (hat tip @jeffjarvis for that hashtag).

"You Are All Going To Die" (Irene to NYC)

Alternative title: Jersey Shore, RIP.


NBC Nightly News had an hour long hurricanecast tonight in-lieu of news. NASA has a nice hurricane Irene photo. 90% chance of tropical storm winds hitting NYC this weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Seach iRobot, But Do Not Search iRoboto

There was a time when I unsuccessfully tried to make money peddling
iRobot on Myspace. So I feel for whoever decided "seach" was a word.
Truly ironic, because they avoided using a URL (that people can never
remember and ALWAYS get wrong). Telling people to search is a good
idea, as long as they are not confused by the "seach" typo and also
remember how to spell iRobot (not iRobo, iRoboto, or Roboti).

Top Gear On 60 Minutes

Top Gear is the one non-girl show on BBC Canada. In the UK, half of Top Gear viewers are women! That makes sense, since about everybody in the UK is watching (slight exaggeration). Anyway, I used to fork over $2.75 a month for the privilege of watching the show on BBC Canada. When I cut my cable last year, I actually paid iTunes for the privilege, à la carte. Since, I've contented myself with reruns on Netflix (with the occasional splurging on a special in the PlayStation store).


This is what 60 Minutes had to say about Top Gear.
