The worst ideas for businesses

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 31 of August , 2006 at 8:56 pm

I'm going to get some ideas funded.  I seen worse than these get 10 or 15 million.

CNNMoney.com asked a dozen venture capitalists - who get hundreds, even thousands, of requests for funding a year from would-be moguls - to tell us the worst business ideas they'd heard. Most were reluctant to dish, but a few couldn't help but share a laugh about ideas that could never get off the ground.

Inside the Actors Studio- Kevin Spacey

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 31 of August , 2006 at 8:52 pm

Usually he seems to take himself too seriously, but this was entertaining.

 

 



Kevin Spacey does selections from his catalogue of impressive impressions(haha)on Inside The Actor's Studio.

Venture Brothers - 21 and 24 vs Brock

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 31 of August , 2006 at 1:19 pm

I'm posting this just becuase I like this scene.  This is from the yard sale epsidoe.  21 (24?) just bought a lightsaber that Dr. Venture was selling.

Fall Schedule 2006

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 31 of August , 2006 at 12:42 pm

I had no idea some of these shows where still on.


So grab a pen and calendar, draw up a loose outline of your viewing future, and then go shopping for enough canned goods to last you through the fall–because you won't want to leave your TV for a moment!

Prepare For The Fantastic! Chris Yost Talks Fantastic Four!

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 31 of August , 2006 at 11:55 am

So far the art they've show, and the the way the creators talk about the show, both give me a lot of hope that it will be good.  The show starts Saturday.

 



Yost: The characters’ humanity is the best thing about writing them, with their incredible powers a close, close second. The beauty of Marvel’s characters is that, in general, they are you and me. They are real people in the real world, but with super powers. Reed’s about to be dissected by aliens, but is fascinated by their culture. Susan is battling a 100 foot monster, but is worried more about her brother becoming a responsible adult. It’s the end of the world, and Ben is still trying to get the score of the game. And Johnny does everything in his power to avoid becoming a responsible adult.

Travolta’s Lip Lock

Writing by Chris on Wednesday, 30 of August , 2006 at 8:09 pm

Who next?  The Hoff?

 

 

 



WTF?!?! John Travolta has been dodging the gay rumors for years like fellow Scientologist, Tom Cruise. Poor Kelly. Well, we bet she had an idea of all this anyway. So is this why he has his own plane?"

Stormtroopers blast through gender barrier

Writing by Chris on Wednesday, 30 of August , 2006 at 8:03 pm

I can't belive they haven't been doing this for 30 years. 

 

 

 



If you want to check out a very welcome new trend in science fiction fandom (assuming you're a huge geek), then Google the word "Femtroopers." This is perhaps the most celebratory development for horny Star Wars fans since Princess Leia became Jabba the Hutt's barge ho.

List of new Fall TV Series

Writing by Chris on Tuesday, 29 of August , 2006 at 10:24 pm

There are a few I hadn't heard of that sound good.  I've checked out "Live on Sunset Strip" and "Heroes", which both seemed really good.  I also have seen "Class", which was a good filler show. No huge laughs, but I good "Friends" replacement (or a good friends replacement if you are that sad).

 

Of the ones I hadn't heard anything about, there was one I though was interesting. 



"30 Rock"

What: A zany comedy with an inside look at the workings of a New York-based NBC series not unlike "Saturday Night Live."

Who: Tina Fey, a recent "Saturday Night Light" grad, created it as well as stars (as head writer of "The Girlie Show," a sketch-comedy series). Alec Baldwin and "SNL" alum Tracy Morgan co-star.

Why: Just to make viewers wonder why NBC chose this show for fall along with another new series, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," that both seem inspired by "SNL."

Blambot Comics Fonts & Lettering

Writing by Chris on Tuesday, 29 of August , 2006 at 9:18 pm

Blambot has a few cool resources for comics, or just general weirdness including some free fonts with a comic book bent. You don't have use them for comics, but that would be cheating.

The latest one is 'Char':

 

 

my favorite though is 'Feast of Flesh':

About Me

This is it. I'm not looking to become an Internet star, or buy a house off by adsense moneyz. Though I am willing to go with the flow on either.

You may have noticed that I am not a graphic designer. Or a real programmer. Or race car driver, though that may not be as obvious from the site itself. I apologize for any mistakes, ommisions, or eye gouging graphics choices I may have perpetrated on anyone through ths page
