I think I was on a blogging strike for a while

Whew, October went in a flash, didn’t it? So much so that I didn’t realize that I hadn’t posted for the entire month until I looked at the blog yesterday.
Anyway, about this writer’s strike…
I’m not much of a union guy, but I completely support the TV and movie writers in this dispute. As a freelance […]

The interview I did in my socks

Here’s the embed of my Attack of the Show appearance last night. They said I did a good job, so who am I to argue?

Yes, that’s my dusty rack of CD’s (my friend Ken will enjoy seeing his handiwork getting a little TV exposure) and a couple of photos of mine in the background. The […]

Links and another TV appearance… via webcam!

A few notes:

I wrote an article about Newark’s new arena, the Prudential Center, for the October issue of New Jersey Monthly. Here’s the link to the story.

I’ll be on G4’s Attack of the Show again tonight, on a segment called “Blog Watch.” I’ll be talking a little about the new fall season, concentrating on the […]

TV Squad mourns the loss of a friend

Folks, I encourage you to go over to my “main gig”, TV Squad, today. We’re paying tribute to Adam Finley, one of the biggest contributors to the site; he died Thursday morning after he was hit by a school bus while riding his bike. No one found out until Saturday; Adam didn’t have any ID […]

Two burning questions for a late August day…

1) Both Hilly Kristal (founder of CBGB) and Richard Jewell (hero, then suspect in the bombing at the 1996 Olympics) died today. That leads me to this question: do obscure semi-celebrities die in threes? If so, who’s next?
2) Doesn’t new Yankee phenom Joba Chamberlain look like he’s Ricky Gervais’ younger brother?

My latest 15 minutes of “fame”

Here’s my appearance on Attack of the Show last night. Besides the fact that I kept my mouth open the whole time, I don’t think I did too badly. Enjoy!

I’m going to be on TV today… I think

For those of you with digital cable, tune in to G4 at either 7 PM or 10 PM ET tonight; I’ll be on the “geek chic” channel’s Attack of the Show, talking about how networks are dealing with pilots that are leaked to BitTorrent and other places on the Interwebs.
Here are the details; the segment […]

Here’s a link that’s less than six years old

I just realized that the link that I posted for Andy Breckman’s radio show, Seven Second Delay, hasn’t been updated since 2001. So, here’s some more up-to-date links: the show’s blog (which happens to have a link to my article at the top… don’t worry, there’s no quid pro quo deal or anything like that), […]

“Basically, it’s hotter than a snake’s ass in a wagon rut.”

I just came back from a dance lesson (yes, I’m taking dance lessons… more on that later), and the one block walk from the dance studio — it’s over Hennessey’s bar! — to my apartment was just a murky mess. I’ve finally stopped sweating, about 30 minutes after coming back to my AC-bathed home (and […]

Premiere.com and NJ Monthly

Ahh… it’s always good to announce new stuff of mine that pops up throughout the publishing universe. Why? Well, ego for one thing… I like seeing my name in print. But it also makes me feel good because I know a check with numbers and a dollar sign on it will soon be arriving in […]
