Anyone been spending time looking around at all your friends and maybe getting a little jealous of decisions they made and you skipped?  Like Michael Jackson used to say… You are not alone.

Nick Baily – my brother and occasional contributor to POPTEN sent this to me last night… super timely andRead More

Wolfenstein, Imperfect and Bizarre

The best part about playing Wolfenstein is that I got to jump into one of my favorite universes, and get to kill some Nazis in brilliantly gory ways.  Unfortunately, this installment of the game graphically is missing some undefinable soul. ‘Id’ commonly makes great shooters, and I’m not quite sure what happened here. It’s not that the… Read More

1. TV Glee

I was so pleased by the pilot last spring, but was completely unsure if the concept could hold over multiple episodes.  I suppose it’s a little too early to tell, but the first few shows have held my interest, put a huge grin across my face, and sparked a little hope inside of… Read More

Sexy social media factoids presented with flashy motion graphics reminding us that the future was yesterday.

Sounds like Monday morning at PopTen.

Virtual gold?  MMO-huh?  World of WTF-craft?  Who are these people?

Well… they’re everyone, actually.  At least according to Second Skin, a fascinating documentary about the world of online gaming.

Computer games have come a very long way since the original days of Oregon Trail (isn’t there an online version of this game now?), in which the average… Read More

88 Lines About 44 Pumpkins, or Don’t Let Me Down Billy Corgan

September 17, 2009 Linkature View Comments

I remember the moment very clearly.  My brother and I are in LA the day the Smashing Pumpkins’ newest CD is released.  I run into Best Buy and practically frisbee the disc to the cashier.  I tear off the wrap and jam it in my car’s CD player.  Ten minutes later I take it out, never to… Read More

Last night I was attending a meeting for which I had to take notes and I was taking aforementioned notes on a computer that was connected to the interwebs. Bad idea? Probably. I probably shouldn’t admit that I was reading celeb gossip and news articles, but I was. The question of our generation is definitely WHAT DO… Read More

10 Songs For 100 Days Of Oil Spill

Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More

Old Spice Love Affair

Unless you have been living under a rock, you are quite familiar with the body (of work) of Isaiah Mustafa. Mustafa is a former wide-receiver in the NFL, and currently has a talent contract with NBC. He might be better known to you as The Old Spice Guy (heretofore known in this post as OSG). But just in… Read More
