  • FOX’s North Shore is No More

    In case you hadn’t heard, FOX officially cancelled North Shore. At a cost of about $2 million per episode and with the return of its rather low ratings, is anyone really surprised? The show was two episodes short of it’s scheduled twenty-two episode season. FOX has replaced North Shore with their new show, Point Pleasant;…

  • Sneaky FOX Preview

    Here at the station, we get advanced copies of upcoming shows so that we can familiarize ourselves with show before it hits the airwaves. Well, I guess that’s the reason, anyway. Last night I watched the first two episodes of FOX’s upcoming show, Kelsey Grammer presents The Sketch Show (be sure to check out the…

  • Sisna Sucks

    At EWU, we were given the ability to connect to the internet for free via a company called Sisna. Everyone I know that used Sisna complained about how crappy they are. At work, Sisna provides us with web space (they may also provide us with internet access, but I’m not sure). Before I go on,…

  • Cromulent Avoision

    Has anyone else noticed that the FedEx logo has an arrow in the negative space? How long have I been staring at that logo and never seen it (the answer, by the way, is since January of 2000.? Today at work, Ben (the guy who secretly added his initials to my work webcam) pointed that…

  • Visit to the Set of End Game

    Yesterday, Tom Dineen and I visited the set of the film End Game, which is shooting in Spokane until late March (or so). The film stars Cuba Gooding Jr., James Woods, and Burt Reynolds, among others. Yesterday they were shooting a few scenes at a local hospital, so Tom and I went to check it…

  • Google Maps Failure

    In what I hope to be a one-off type of thing, Google Maps had a bit of a problem earlier.

  • >>>>>> FW: Some email thing

    My mum just forwarded me an e-mail and the it began with the line, “IF YOU DON’T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.” Have you ever noticed that a lot of forwards start off this way? And more often than not, it’s really not something worth reading…

  • Year of the Rooster

    I meant to post this yesterday, but I got busy with stuff and forgot. Gung hay fat choy! I always forget that people here don’t celebrate the same holidays as I’m used to, or if they do, they don’t celebrate them in the same way. When I said gung hay fat choy to people here,…

  • The Super Bowl Girl

    I found her! Like an idiot, I didn’t realise that, since we aired the Super Bowl, we would have an air check of it! Sure enough, there she was. In my opinion, the director didn’t stay on her long enough. If you watch (she’s right near the final two minute mark), she opens her hoodie…
