Pretty Soon, There’s Gonna Be A Lot Less To See Inside THIS Box

Once again, the best laid plans of mice and men oft times go astray, especially when this man was intending to muse about a mouse of a project that dropped yesterday on Netflix (more on that–but, pinky promise, not all that much more–in a tad).  But then as has tended to be the case more

‘Tis The Season To Dump Data

It actually hasn’t been all that long since I was last choosing to spend extra time in my office around this time of year.  In my line of work, it was all the more necessary as we frequently rescheduled oft-postponed vendor presentations to the last full week of the year–which most willingly went along with

No Boos. Just YAH!!!!!s

NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site, The Double Overtime.  Please visit it regularly for coverage of media, sports, politics and life. I was literally on the cusp of the purported target demographic that ESPN was going after when it took full advantage of the demand for additional channels that the advent

Brave New Globes?

You would have been justified in calling me out for somehow completely missing the announcement of Golden Globes nominees that as per usual of late took place in the wee small hours of the morning in early December.  If you’ve been a regulat reader. or at least someone with nominal Google skills, you’d note I
