The Three Stooges

I just don’t get it.  I search around the Internet and all I see is negative reviews about this trailer.  Everyone is saying it’s unfunny and simply awful.

I grew up on the Stooges.  Every morning before school I would be up a 6:00 AM watching the Stooges.  I have a number of episode on DVD and have spent more New Years eve nights then I’d like to remember, ringing in the New Year with Moe, Larry and Curly.  (I know, it’s kind of pathetic)  I would consider myself a Stooges expert.

I had very low expectations for this movie but the trailer is hysterical.  Each of the actors impersonations are dead-on and all the bits seem to work.  Why do people hate this so much?

I know that nothing will ever replace the original, but this looks like it will be a lot of fun.  Mellow out everyone.  If you don’t want to see it, stay home, but I’ll be there opening night.  I can’t wait for this.

Here is an amazing video, taken from a helmet cam, that shows what it’s like to climb a radio tower.  It scares me just watching it and I can’t imagine what it must be like doing this for a living.

I recently installed a Roku HD-XR streaming media player and had a minor problem with the network setup.  Since I was able to figure out a solution to problem, I want to share it here to save anyone else some time if they run into the same thing.

If you’re not familiar with the Roku, it’s a streaming media device that allows you to stream a number of different Internet channels to your television.  You can use it to view or listen to content from Netflix, Amazon Video, Pandora, TWIT, MLB.Tv and a whole lot more.  The list of available channels is growing all of the time.

Connecting the device to your television is simple enough, simply connect audio and video cables from the Roku to the appropriate connections on your TV.  The type of cables you use will vary based on the type of television you have so you will have to consult your manual.  It should be fairly straight forward.

The Internet connection may be a bit more differcult for most people.  You have a choice of connecting the box using either a wired connection or a wireless connection.  If your television is setup anywhere close to your Internet connection or if you don’t have a problem running cable throughout your house, the wired connection is the way to go.  In most cases this will be faster and more reliable.  Roku …
