Addicted to Passions and Pulp
From the monthly archives:
As I thought after Week 1, former beauty queen, Shanna Moakler, didn’t stick around too long, eliminated in Week 2 of Dancing with the Stars. She did improve a lot from the first week but not as much as the other competitors. I did like her mambo this week (danced to Kris Kross’ [...]

I couldn’t watch the entire two-hour Dancing with the Stars show last night so instead of doing a recap, here’s some things I noticed.
Lots more skin was shown by the ladies this week. I guess cause they were doing the sensual mambo.
Willa Ford started the show with an exciting dance and all her shaking. [...]

After the first week of selling movies on the iTunes Store, Disney announced they made $1 million (which comes out to selling 125,000 movies). Not bad for one week of sales. Disney predicts $50 in revenue over the course of an entire year.
I did my part last night, pre-ordering Pirates of the Caribbean: [...]

After I just got done poking fun at politicians’ commercials ending with the silly phrase, “I approve this message,” they go ahead and make it work. I’ve now seen or heard two commercials that end with the familiar “I approve this message,” followed by additional words that place this statement in a better context.

Eminem’s charity auction for his custom designed Nike Air Max kicks is underway and his second set of designs has been revealed.
Slim Shady’s initial Air Max 87 and 90 designs are going for about $1000 a pair on eBay, but I think Slim did a better job with his Air Max 93 and Air 180. [...]

I started a series about iPods for Newbies in June but never did post a second article. So here we go. This time my advice is to count your coins using Coinstar. The Tabasco Man talked about Coinstar over on Wayne’s World back in November 05, but the Coinstar system has made [...]

…Or the lost art of telling which way an elevator is going. Had to return some stuff at Ala Moana today and as usual, elevators are now an essential part of our shopping trips. I think we were on three elevators today and at all three times, someone wanted to know which direction [...]

Robert X. Cringely is at it again. This week’s post outlines Apple’s long term strategy with its iPods and iTunes Store offerings. While his column is independently generated and I don’t think he has any Apple insider information, what he says is very plausible and basically makes good sense.
Can Apple “disintermediate” the cable [...]

Had to call Dell today to place an order (not for me unless Dell starts selling Macs or iPods). After calling their toll free number, I had to enter a 7-digit extension! Seven digits?! That’s like a phone number by itself. Wow, I actually had to enter in the numbers slowly [...]

As expected the political pundit, Tucker Carlson, was the first Star eliminated from Dancing with the Stars. Sorry, but this guy simply could not dance. At least he tried, but he was the right choice to go.
Some surprises during the show. Although I missed some of the results, it looked like geriatric [...]

Married in 1992, Whitney fell off the pop scene as trouble brewed in her personal life. Bobby was arrested several times for drug and [...]
