Bill Eisenhauer Writing code since 1980

Culture

Movies, music, and the odd thing that stuck with me.

Stephen Colbert teaches Sunday School!

13 February 2008

If you aren’t watching The Colbert Report, you are truly missing out. Even as the Writer’s Strike has raged on, Colbert has still entertained. This is perhaps some of his best work as he chats with the author of The...

Discovering The Colbert Report

5 June 2007

While on vacation, Suzanne and I stumbled upon a 30-minute political satire TV show called The Colbert Report which produced quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. And after reviewing all the content on Wikipedia about the show, I can’t help but...

Grizzly Man

7 March 2006

One of the cool things about relationships is the inside jokes that you share.  Through the years you collect them and some stay forever, while others have a limited shelf-life. One of our latest ones was born from the documentary...

“Lost” did not disappoint…

22 September 2005

SPOILER ALERT:  Read no farther if you haven’t seen the first episode. The season premier of "Lost" did not disappoint last night as there are now new questions and more intrigue.  We now know a little bit more about what...

“Lost” Returns

21 September 2005

We are just hours from the season premier of "Lost".  If you aren’t on board (ever so slight pun there) already, you have two options.  Watch the hour-long catch-me-up show that airs prior to the premiere tonight Tivo tonight’s premier...

5 Blades!

14 September 2005

I didn’t think it could be done, but they’ve found a way to add a fifth blade.  Take a look at the Gillette Fusion.  I didn’t happen to read if it vibrates, though.

What was Samuel L. Jackson reading?

13 September 2005

At the risk of tending toward a gossip columnist, I’m going to do just that. As previously mentioned many entries ago, we flew from Dallas to Oahu on American Airlines on August 26th. We were lucky to sit first class...

Music Tie-Ins with Hurrican Katrina

13 September 2005

I guess I’m the only one who didn’t see anyone else relate Hurricane Katrina with the precosiously named 80’s band Katrina and the Waves. Not too take this too far, but as I was readying for my jog yesterday, I...

If Pei Wei were a website…

13 September 2005

…it would be perfect (in my opinion). Many of the weblogs that I read daily discuss how easy websites are to use.  And I’ve read many books on the subject as well.  To me, its almost an art form to...

Lost: Stranded with no new Episodes

20 April 2005

I’m so addicted to "Lost" right now and they are killing me with their break from new episodes!  This is now the third week in a row of repeats.  If "Lost" were a drug, I’d be in a fetal position...

Lost — the TV show

3 April 2005

As Suzanne and I were preparing to leave for Kauai last September, I thought to set up the “Lost” pilot for Tivo. I did so mainly because I had heard that many of the scenes were filmed in Kauai. While...

Where are the Wonder Twins?

16 August 2004

Suzanne and I were discussing all the movies lately that have involved super heroes and their villains. There’s Batman, Spiderman, Catwoman, The Hulk, etc. And now the trend is to combine them to make super-movies — kinda like Alien vs....

Aliens vs. Predator — A Blast from the Past

15 August 2004

You see the title and wonder how can Aliens vs. Predator be a blast from the past. Well, it reminds me of my college days when my dorm buddies and I would gather in a dorm room and play a...

Norah Jones has a new CD

14 February 2004

On Tuesday, Norah Jones released Feels Like Home. I think I’m in agreement that it doesn’t have the magic of her first CD, but it sounds pretty good to me. I’ve listened to it probably a dozen times already and...

Good Books!

6 January 2004

I have just finished two of Dan Brown’s books: “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels and Demons.” I read them in the order listed, but if you read them, read the latter first as that’s the predecessor. I don’t have...
