24 Season Six, Finally Here!

In my humble opinion, the best show on television is "24". I'm a pretty late edition to the 24 bandwagon as I just began watching Season One a couple days after Christmas. Needless to say, after staying up all night to watch the entire riveting 24 hours of the first season, I became instantly addicted. Since then I've rented all five seasons on DVD in order to catch up for the premiere of Season Six which began tonight. After watching the premiere it looks like this is going to be the best season yet.
I think part of the reason the show has had such success and popularity is the Americans want to believe that there is a place like CTU, and a guy like Jack Bauer who is out there trying to protect us. Plus the non-stop action/adventure and gripping suspense don't hurt either.
Drudge Report has info about the new season and it's real life impact here. Kiefer Sutherland gives a great interview about his character and the show here. I've even stumbled across a cool Bauer blog, blogs4bauer, lots of info and trivia. Get ready to enjoy a wild ride this season!

For those who still don't believe that Islam is a religion of violence, check out Obsession the Movie. Here is the trailer from You Tube.

The Counter Ad to Michael J. Fox

The stem cell research debate is heating up in Missouri, Claire McCaskill used Michael J. Fox in this recent ad to promote her position on it. In response, a host of celebrities have countered with this ad viewable on You Tube.
I would post the video directly on here but for some reason I cannot get You Tube to link to my blog, I'll have to keep working on that I guess.

Frontline: The Last Abortion Clinic

PBS' show Frontline is doing a documentary called "the last abortion clinic" on the pro-life movement in Mississippi. I was interviewed for the program over the summer while walking in Jackson, MS. The show is scheduled to air tonight at 8:00 pm CST. The link for the show can be seen here.

Blogs In General

Are blogs not the most fascinating pieces of information on the Internet right? Everyday in the news you see and hear more and more people talking about web logs and how they are changing the way people get their information about every subject imaginable, from the war in Iraq to instructions on programing your VCR. The blog community at large is probably the fastest growing online community. Of course the problem with all this new information that is being spread throughout the blogsphere is tracking down the right information that you may be searching for. Well, there is a website designed specifically for searching through the vast array of blogs. This website is called Technorati. I first found out about this sweet little blog search engine while reading Forbes Magazine last month. Since then, whenever I'm trying to find something online, not only do I automatically punch in Google or Ice Rocket, but I now have a more efficient way to search through the ever growing throngs of information among the vast assortment of blogs that previously was not readily available through the more conventional search engines. Of course while on the subject of blogs we all have to talk about our favorites, the one or two that we just keep going back to because there is always something new or interesting that always captivates our attention. I would have to say that for me that one blog would be blog maverick, written my Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, star of the TV show The Benefactor, and the founder of HDNet amongst other things. This is one that I find myself surfing to at least once a week because there is always something interesting to read, whether Mark is commenting on how the team is doing, the business and technological environment, politics, or just life in general. I would definitely recommend checking out his site, I don't think you'll leave disappointed.
