Every once in a while on Facebook or Twitter, I see a plea for help to get rid of cable and start watching TV shows and movies online. I have been doing this for about three years and wouldn’t go back. But I’ll be the first to admit, it’s still a wonky system that requires [...]

Now that twelve years of reading and watching  is over, I’m loathe to remove the “Harry Potter” link in the site navigation. Thankfully, the Harry Potter documentary will be my rationale for keeping it up there (forever, muhaha). The books have always held a very special place in my heart. I’ve gone through various phases [...]
