‘Lost Girl’ is a Canadian TV show on the Showcase Network. I got interested in it last year and have seen all 13 episodes of season one and 12 episodes of season 2, so far. Apparently it is a hit in Canada, because this year it was extended to 22 episodes, and recently was [...]
By llsee, on December 26th, 2011 Two years ago, I wrote a couple of posts about ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’, the book and the Swedish language movie (movies, there were 3). Since I wrote my entries all three movies in the trilogy have been released in the US and on DVD. In fact a new DVD release has the [...]
By llsee, on September 15th, 2011 Eventually, one’s true nature is revealed. Although I was not an early adopter of the cell phone, I did get one, thanks to my job, relatively early in their life. I had the responsibility to procure cell phones for my company, so naturally I needed to have one for testing purposes. In those early days [...]
By llsee, on May 19th, 2011 *UPDATE* I had to replace the Youtube Video, cuz the original I posted is no longer available. Too bad because it was a good 720P quality.

By llsee, on May 15th, 2011 There are a lot of reasons to dislike horse racing. First, it is a sport of millionaires for millionaires. That may be a simplification, but it takes a lot of money to own and race a horse. While I know people who own horses, I’ve never met anyone who owned a thoroughbred.
Secondly, the only [...]

For 6 seasons now, I have been watching the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch. In case you haven’t heard about it, Deadliest Catch, puts cameramen aboard several Alaska crab fishing boats, and follows them as they fish the Bearing Sea for King and Opilio(or snow) crab. Of course the catch seasons are [...]
By llsee, on July 8th, 2010 I found a funny new site, at least new to me… and funny to me:
The site is called GraphJam.com and it is just a lot of graphs that illustrate some funny truths and the silliness of graphs. Take a look. Oh in case any Apple cultists take umbrage at the graph, let me [...]
By llsee, on January 14th, 2010 One more gaga entry and then we’ll close the topic. I was questioned about why I like Lady Gaga. So, here are 2 exhibits that I found interesting.
