Usul Has Called A Big One

New IPhone Launches Today


Everyone has been talking about it for weeks, and today it finally was arriving. The 10 year anniversary of the iPhone gives us a second to reflect on how much the tech world has changed since the release of the mobile phone.

So why the Dune clip? Well, it's like the emergence of a mythical creature that only surfaces every so often. Everyone wants to get there first to ride on the epic beast. The worms are the spice, the name is a killing word, and reporters and individuals everywhere are clamoring for their taste of that delicious attention nectar. It's no longer the car, stereo, the PC that is the ever-present status symbol, it's your phone. Bow down and pay your respects you dark souls, that shiny piece of tinfoil is close enough to fly down and try to grab in your beaks today.

The phone is the spice; the spice is the phone.

Don't look away or the moment will be gone in an instance

To Infinity and Beyond

Jane, Get Me Off This Crazy Thing! I give up. You have won, content gods. There's just too many shows that I would like to watch. They are piling up like my trash can, overflowing my queue, running down the street yelling at my neighbors, hanging out at the local bars even. Maybe this is the inevitability of digital media, that everything is available somewhere, and you just need to press play. Unfortunately for me, besides needing to sleep occasionally I also eat, poop, and work. These are the days of our lives. When I'm feeling overwhelmed by not keeping up with the few shows that I do wanna watch, I find myself thinking of a quirky Bob Odenkirk-produced sitcom that never quite got out of the starting blocks, The Birthday Boys. Bob himself made a decent number of appearances, and the stable of likable guys he had on the show are bound to find their way into the funny biz. The one skit that I find myself always sending as clips to friends is the 'Catching
