September 11, 2001…Do you remember?

Growing up, I can remember adults talking about tragic or triumphant historical events that they had experienced, and how they could remember what they were doing that day…the JFK assassination…the moon landing…and as a kid, I never really thought anything like that would happen in my lifetime. That all changed the day the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986. I was home sick from school that day, and I remember the coverage very clearly.

I also remember even more clearly where I was and what I was doing on September 11, 2001. I was …

Introducing…Demetri Martin

(After Dark content…some language not suitable for work or youngsters or people who are easily offended)

i have seen this comic on comedy central before, but i found this video online a few days ago, and it has just cracked me up whenever i watch and listen to it.

the material you hear is being performed by the comedian, Demetri Martin, and the video presentation was put together by someone out there in cyberspace to add a visual element. i think it works, and i hope you do, too.…

North Dakota Blizzard story from the LVC…

this loyal reader of the Licking Valley Courier couldn’t help but notice a story that had been submitted to last week’s paper, regarding the government’s response to a huge blizzard in North Dakota and comparing it to the tragedy in New Orleans that resulted from Hurricane Katrina.

my response to reading the story was that 1) i got pis*ed…as did my wife when SHE read it… and 2) i figured there was about a 99.99% chance that the “facts” weren’t facts at all, but instead was one of these annoying emails that we all get from people who don’t bother …

IPTV coming to West Liberty…

In a story reported on tvover.net a few days ago, it was reported that Mountain Telephone will be bringing IPTV to its West Liberty customers.  It isn’t clear from the article just when we will be enjoying the features of this new technology, but it could certainly open the doors for some new and exciting features that we haven’t had access to in the past.

It also doesn’t state in the article (and perhaps someone who works with MRTC could add some info?) about how wide an area will have access to the IPTV features.  In theory, anyone who has …

New Music Monday: Buffalo Killers

Just toying with some ideas on this Video of the Day feature…I’m thinking about maybe throwing in a few “theme days”, such as “New Music Monday”, every once in a while. We’ll see how it goes.

To start off with, here’s a little group from right up the road in Cincinnati called the Buffalo Killers. They are going to be on tour this Fall supporting The Black Crowes, so you may want to go check out a show and see 2 really groovy bands. 🙂

Enjoy! (and if you do, and want to hear more, you can check out their …

The Deep South…

Well, Whoopi is now on The View, and she started it right off with some controversy. (why waste time, right?)  She was trying to explain why Vick may not have seen dogfighting as being anything wrong, since it is part of his culture, him being from the deep south and all.  There’s just a couple of problems with this, one of which is that Michael Vick is from Newport News, Virginia.  That’s not exactly the “deep south”, last time I checked.  The other problem I have with her suggestion…and she’s not the only one suggesting it…is that I don’t know …

What is wrong with the kids today?

you know, i never thought i’d ever speak that phrase…and i certainly never expected i’d be talking about “those crazy kids”…but here i am.

listen…i’m not old, at least not what i call old…i’m 35, so i’m not young either. however, i’m still young enough that i like new and exciting music, i know how to operate a computer and listen to an ipod…but i also know how to draw water from a well.

generation X…that is what we are labeled…those around my age. growing up, i really thought my generation was going to be able to make some changes …

Oprah has spoken…

well folks, whiz on the fire and call the dogs.  the 2008 presidential election is now over, before it even began.

i heard this morning that Oprah will be backing Obama in the election.  with her power, and her audience…the other candidates should be VERY afraid right now.  i’m not sure that there has ever been a time in history where someone outside of the whole political machine has had the power that Oprah now has to influence the outcome of this election.

Oprah is on TV EVERY day, she has a slot on XM radio, she has her own …

MCHS on high alert…

Just got word this that Morgan County High School has a few extra folks around this morning in the form of police officers. a threatening note was found in a locker yesterday afternoon, and students were being searched this morning as they arrived at school.

the rumor is that the note, found in a locker occupied by 2 students, someone suggested the author of the note wants to “blow their f*ckin’ heads off”.

WKYT is covering the story, and we’ll keep you posted if we get any more information.…
