iFart Mobile
Today's site is going to be bit controversial. We deliberated quite some time before deciding to post it. As you undoubtedly know, the iPhone is much more than a cell phone. It is a complete mobile computer with email, web browsing, contact management and so much more. Ever since the... Read the story »

Pilobolus on Conan O'Brien
Ever heard of Pilobolus? I hadn't, but I am now a fan. Pilobolus is a dance troupe who perform in front of a backlit screen, so that it's their shadows that you see. And what they make those shadows do is simply amazing. Today's FamilyFirst pick is a routine performed... Read the story »

Removing Scratches from CD's and DVD's
It's happened to all of us. That CD that you absolutely love suddenly develops a skip. Or perhaps a song on it simply refuses to play altogether. Or a DVD that you've watched over and over freezes in mid-frame. What now? Toss the fubarred disk in the trash and go... Read the story »

Lonely Pictures
Our country (that is, if you happen to be an American) has grown in population by leaps and bounds. But still, many areas have escaped the insanity of rapid growth. In fact, some areas are depressed in economy and outlook. But through all adversity, there is always something positive to... Read the story »

Corn-Fed Venison?
Mmm, venison... Fat-free venison is delicious and much healthier for you than a fat-laden ribeye. Still, there's just a touch of gamey taste there sometimes. What if... You captured a deer, fed it corn for a couple of weeks, then enjoyed some fine CORN-FED venison?... Read the story »

All I Need, in a Natural Sense
Sure, I'm an old goat, but I still appreciate good music by current groups. For example, my 20-year-old has turned me into a Counting Crows fan. And while I haven't sought out any Radiohead, their song All I Need sounds pretty darned good. Today's FamilyFirst pick is a video of... Read the story »

Harmonica Solo at Carnegie Hall
Carnegie Hall. Home of classical music performances extraordinaire. And in today's FamilyFirst video, home to possibly the most amazing harmonica solo you've ever seen. I play a little blues harp myself. It doesn't sound good, according to my friends. Just imagine what my enemies say. But the musician spotlighted in... Read the story »

Fake or Foto
CGI used to mean Common Gateway Interface. That's geek talk for executable scripts that run on a web server. That acronym still applies, but CGI has come to mean Computer Generated Graphics. CGI has gotten amazingly sophisticated. I recently watched I Am Legend, and the CGI monsters and monster dogs... Read the story »

Truemors
Heard any good truemors? What, never heard of a truemor? Well, let the website itself do the explaining: The purpose of Truemors is to democratize information. We made it so that people don’t need to be a journalist or even run a web site or blog to “tell the world.”... Read the story »

Richard De La Font Agency, Inc.
I stumbled on today's FamilyFirst site, as I do so many others, by accident. I intended to do a column on Bill Cosby. But in looking for a site on him, I stumbled onto the one run by his agent. And once I started looking at the various acts that... Read the story »

Caves.org
I was very fortunate in that I was able to spend two wonderful years living on a big farm in southwest Missouri when I was nine and ten years old. It was out in the middle of nowhere, twenty miles from town. We had foul-smelling sulfur water (which I got... Read the story »

The Logo Game
One thing's for certain. No matter how old you are, you grew up with advertising. Ancient ruins prove advertising is as old as human society itself. And the business is thriving more today than it ever has. We've all been exposed to corporate logos over and over again. So, how... Read the story »

Live Television from Around the World
Here's to the idiot box. The boob tube. The glass-eyed monster. I'm talking about the TV, friends, and today's FamilyFirst site is dedicated to the media that feeds the box. Specifically, it's dedicated to streaming audio on the web. It has collected streaming TV from all over the world in... Read the story »

Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics
Ah, the movies. Filmdom is where things take place that only happen in the movies. Whether it's living happily ever after, or visible laser beams. Today's FamilyFirst site takes a poke at the physics of the movies, which is mostly bad. The site is called Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics. Here's... Read the story »
