James
Words are escaping me right now. I’m sure you’ve already heard at this point about James Kim. I’m at CNET to pick Veronica up. None of this feels real, and all I can think of is how we can help the Kims. The media is outside in droves, but they’re being respectful and staying out [...]
Heavy
I’m just posting this to officially say I’m not blogging here about James Kim — I’d rather be useful and reach Engadget’s audience with that. Needless to say, this has been a pretty shaken-up week. But as if that horrible situation wasn’t enough, then BenQ touched the 9/11-nerve today. I wrote a possibly too-personal rant [...]
Separated at birth: PT and Johnny Depp (part 2)
Ok, the first time it was kinda funny. Now I’m getting a little freaked out. There can be only one. PT, let’s take this Depp character out once and for all. Update: Wow, reader Christine totally found another Wonka lookalike shot (although PT’s countenance doesn’t quite match as well as Ichabod).
Separated at birth: PT and Johnny Depp
I love ya, PT, but don’t deny.
David Bowie, Klaus Nomi, and Iggy Pop in Venture Brothers
Even ignoring the fact that the Venture Brothers was created by those behind The Tick cartoon (one of my all time favorites), namely Jackson Publick, and the numerous insider references the show makes to everything from Adam and the Ants to The Damned, it takes a certain je ne sais quoi for a superhero comedy [...]
Boston, ScobleShow, Lost, etc.
Ah, been a bit out of the game, so here it is! Kinda bummed that my first ever trip to Boston — a place I’ve always wanted to visit — was so brief and packed with work and work-related activities, but it was a interesting, enlightening week spent. The Mobius conference was, as always, a [...]
Welcome, Mr. Littlejeans
I apparently babble quite some bit during our show sometimes — it would appear that during a recent episode of the Engadget Podcast I revealed my long standing plot to name my second cat TiVo (note: the first is named Devo, as in Devo). That didn’t really take with my co-adoptor, so we went with [...]
Quoted in the Times (kind of)
Looks like the New York Times thought to continue (and finish) the dialogue they started about the Bell Labs Holmdel facility. Their original piece about the complex more or less went under the radar, but with a little Engadget juice and a whole lotta love from the blogosphere, turns out the development firm that now [...]
QVC, the ultimate in comedic reality television
Oh, sure, everyone’s seen the QVC dude who “may need emergency surgery in the studio” when he snaps his katana in two on the air, but I can’t decide what it is I find more baffling: the amount of fudged sales pitches and prank callers on QVC, or the fact that people are scanning 24×7 [...]
Please donate to the Ryan Bennett Family Benefit Fund
Randall, my good friend and Engadget’s podcast producer, has suffered a terrible family tragedy. His older brother, Ryan Bennett, father of four, died last week. If you have anything to give, please donate to the Ryan Bennett Family Benefit Fund. Randall, if you’re reading this, you’re a person of amazing strength and courage; everyone’s thoughts [...]
