Here’s a 50’s sci-fi/horror movie I’d never heard of, but to my surprise Eric knew what it was in an instant — Night of the Demon. It’s also known as Curse of the Demon, and we caught only the last few minutes of it on Turner Classic Movies, so I’ll be watching it here for the first time. But first… It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is on again. But why does Charlie Brown keep saying, “I got Iraq?”
It’s not Halloween without…
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is starting right now on ABC. Will Charlie Brown kick the football? Will the Great Pumpkin visit Linus? Of course not! And we wouldn’t want it any other way.
If you missed the Great Pumpkin tonight, don’t worry, it’s on again Friday night at 8 ET.
Bloomberg’s game changers
A few days ago, tastewar sent me this link on Cult of Mac of a new interview with John Sculley, the former CEO of Apple, who was the former CEO of PepsiCo that orchestrated the removal of Steve Jobs from Apple. By chance last night I caught a show on Bloomberg TV about Steve Jobs that includes comments from Sculley and the editor of Cult of Mac. Here’s a clip about Jobs returning to the reins at Apple, a couple of CEO’s after Sculley had departed.
The complete documentary, along with programs about Jon Stewart and Mark Zuckerberg, is on the Bloomberg Game Changers web page.
All-Ball-Knee fun
Here’s me last Sunday at the Albany Comic Con, with Denro and the Sinnott boys — Joe, his son Mark, and grandson Trevor. It was great seeing Joe getting around with no trouble at all, since his hip replacement surgery. I treated everybody to dinner and we all had a great time!
Joe is a lifelong fan of the Giants baseball team, going back to their years in New York, so he was very happy with their win against the Phillies last Saturday night. Joe’s mother’s uncle was John McGraw, which explains his continued loyalty to the Giants after they moved to San Francisco in 1957. Tonight they play the Texas Rangers in game 1 of the World Series. Friends who know Dennis as a loyal Boston Red Sox fanatic, and not a comic book fan, will be shocked to see that he donned a Giants cap! This proves that Dennis is second to none in his admiration and appreciation of Mighty Joe Sinnott. Considering how much I admire the man, that’s saying something!
Silverlight Test
If you don’t have Silverlight — Microsoft’s embedded video player — you won’t see this fascinating explanation of how to use PowerShell scripting, instead of Remote Desktop, for remote management of Windows. If you have Netflix Watch Instantly on your computer, you have Silverlight.
Rally to Restore Sanity needs to be sanitary…
This coming Saturday I will not be at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in Washington, D.C., but tastewar says he will be there. I’m a bit surprised, however, to learn that the National Park Service has yet to issue a permit for the event…
