In the old days, if your kid fell in a hole you reached for them. Today, you reach for your camera phone! đ
A classic SNL musical performance confirms that controversy inevitably becomes commodity… “Radio, Radio” – Elvis Costello
The second team to make it to the Stanley Cup Final was decided tonight as the Los Angeles Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks in overtime of Game 7 of the Western semi-final. The Kings will meet the New York Rangers, starting later this week. To celebrate another Stanley Cup, here’s an amazing video featuring a montage of every […]
Jimmy Fallon is getting all the viral love for his Tonight Show clips while David Letterman (who would’ve likely been a viral star if YouTube had been around in his early days) is doing things in a more traditional way and not aiming for online buzz like his younger counterparts – Jimmys Fallon and Kimmel.

Hard to believe it’s been a year since a very important milestone in my life. Yes, it’s exactly one year ago today that I got my Most Liked post ever on Facebook!
