It’s not hard to find books these days if you’re looking for them, but sometimes you just need a little extra help to find the best possible books and the best possible book deals.  There are many reasons to give away a book, including as part of a lending library to encourage Amazon Prime purchases, […]

Are you a Snapchat user?  Or, rather, is your child a Snapchat user?  If you’re not sure of the answer, or if the answer is yes, then you’d better pay attention.  Hackers leaked 4.6 million phone numbers for Snapchat users in a move designed to shame the company into taking better security precautions.  The hackers […]

It’s one of the longest-running holiday traditions out there.  Since 1955, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) have tracked Santa Claus on his yearly journey.  What started out as a single call ages ago has become one of the most popular events in the country.  While the tracking method has changed, the tradition remains. […]

Chaz Stevens is something of a crusader against Christmas, what with being a self-described “militant atheist” and all.  He’s pretty well known around the city of Deerfield Beach, Florida, where last year, he complained to the city that their manger scene was against the separation of church and state and was given permission to erect […]

Remember when the TV show Family Guy showed some major plot bravery and killed off one of its major characters, swearing up and down that it was for real and that it wasn’t just some kind of publicity stunt?  Well, it’s some kind of publicity stunt.  That’s right, Brian Griffin is back thanks to the […]

With every new bit of information, the sequel to Man of Steel sounds more and more like a possible prequel to a Justice League movie.  As if Superman wasn’t enough of a draw, Warner Brothers and Zack Snyder added Batfleck to set up a potential World’s Finest-style Batman Versus Superman movie.  Now, I guess because […]

When it comes to video games, there’s the Call of Duty games, and then there’s everything else.  For whatever reason, Call of Duty has struck a chord with fans and, no matter what might be added or where the series might end up, gamers keep lining up to do more shooting and running and shooting […]

America doesn’t have a long history compared to the rest of the world.  You can walk into pubs that are as old as the United States in England, but that’s not to discount just how old America is.  In 1640 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, printers turned out 1700 copies of a book called the Bay Psalm […]

If you haven’t watched this weekend’s episode of Family Guy and you’re offended by spoilers, just turn around right now and head in the other direction.  Otherwise, read on. From struggling afterthought with a cult following to massive hit to target of protests and bannings, Fox’s cartoon series Family Guy has been through a lot […]
