Gentle panning ariel shots of small brown people splattering about in front of a huge stage, flashing lights beside iconic figures on giant screens and illuminated, joyous faces bobbing amidst flailing elastic arms: this is how I recall televised coverage of our summer music festivals. I've been to a few festivals but have lost enthusiasm for them lately. The main events always seem to sell out before the idea even pops into my head, the tickets are always frightfully expensive and the... more...

The term "Keep Austin Weird" has become overly used, and some would say Austin "weirdness" is growing increasingly hard to find, with the mass influx of those from other areas bringing their normality to town. Luckily with events like Spamarama, the shrine known as the Cathedral of Junk, and the annual Eeyore's Birthday Party, the city's weirdness shines. In 1978, David Arnsberger, Dick Terry, and George Majewski shared some beer and an idea- they were bored of ... more...

There is an ever-increasing demand for creative and educational toys from, both, children and parents alike. The toys are no more considered as time-pass objects and now are looked up to as an interesting and creative teaching-learning medium. Almost everyday there is a new toy in the market that offers competition to the existing toys. For the sake of competition and also because of the demands made by the consumers, toys have acquired new characteristics. Electronic toys have become more popul... more...

Did you know that the Barbie dolls launched way back in 1959? Since then they have sold over three billion dolls to date. That's a lot of Barbie in the world - one between two for every single man, woman and child living on planet Earth at this moment. Every single person in the UK could have fifty of them if they wanted. In fact, if we took every Barbie doll that had rolled out of the factory since their inception, they would stretch right around the globe not once, not twice, but a full t... more...

I used to have a Rubik's Cube when I was younger. The damn thing nearly drove me up the wall. In the end, I did manage to work out the fastest way of solving it. I'd just peel all the stickers off and place them on the right sides. Either that or, with one good twist, it was possible to unclip all the sides and reassemble the cube in finished form. There was nothing in the instructions to suggest this was against the rules, and personally, I considered it a demonstration of my genius -... more...

Who said there's no such thing as a free lunch? The truth is, there are still some places in this world where you can get truly free stuff, without working hard or paying anything. One of these sources of free items is test drive offers. Did you know that you could go into a car dealership, test drive a car, and they would mail you something free? Everything from a steak dinner for two to a $100 gift certificate to an upscale kitchen supply store. And yes, it would be to... more...

When it comes to the cribs of the rich and famous, none are complete without the home cinema projector. And let's face it, if you have the average two up, two down a home cinema projector system is going to look a little silly crammed between the wall and the door frame. You'd get a stiff neck trying to watch all the screen and your nan would drive you crazy shuffling backwards and forwards with cups of cocoa. So, these state-of-the-art entertainment systems are best left to tho... more...

It is only really in recent years that the idea of ball pools has taken popularity, and until very recently, these were really just to be found in adventure playgrounds and activity centres rather than in the home. However, very recently it has become possible and affordable to buy equipment for home based ball pools, and of course, these are proving to be very popular with children. It has to be said that children of toddler age enjoy ball pools, and even those many years older have just as muc... more...

In 2001, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant created what is considered one of the funniest British television programs of all time called The Office. The series lasted for two seasons and a two part Christmas special. The series followed a documentary format, although the entire pretense of the show was fictional. The show was noted because of its emphasis on characters that functioned like regular (in some cases not so regular) people with desires, flaws, mannerisms, and traits that wer... more...

Magicians today are a far cry from their ancient predecessors. Instead of pulling rabbits out of hats, the magi were guardians of Egyptian kings. Throughout the ages, magic and the magician has evolved greatly and today's illusionist is more of a celebrity than a mystic. In this article, we'll meet the masters of sleight of hand who have laid the foundation for today's renewed interest in the unknown. Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, who opened an illusion theater in Paris in th... more...

In June of 2004 a comedy show entitled Arrested Development was broadcast on the Fox network. The show was done in a mock documentary format, very similar to the show The Office, and followed the lives of the members of the fictional Bluth family, who lead excessive lifestyles well beyond their actual financial means. The family is selfish, greedy, overly materialistic, vain, underhanded, sneaky, and deceptive and yet the audience cannot help themselves but fall in love with them. In fac... more...

TBS is nearly infamous for its lack of original series. In fact, almost everything that comes on the channel is a cancelled or licensed series that uses reruns several times over. They've used Family Guy, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, Sex and the City, and Just Shoot Me until anyone who watches the channel on a daily basis has no need to purchase the DVDs for the series. However, there is a silver lining to all of this, and that silver lining is the TBS original series 10 Items... more...

Of late, there have been very few examples of historical fiction in the film industry that go beyond just 200 years. Not very much history is explored in films, especially not in the action genre. However, this could be about to change. Director Roland Emmerich, the director who brought us the films Godzilla, The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow, Stargate, Universal Soldier, and Independence Day, brings us a vision a life in prehistoric times with the new prehistoric action film 10,000 B.... more...

Blackjack is one of the most popular card games in casinos today. With the simple formula of whoever gets 21 or the highest number wins, the game is easy to play and is one of the few card games in which the player has just as much of a chance of being the winner as the dealer. Or at least it would seem. The new film 21 is based on the true story and book Bringing Down the House based on the exploits of four MIT students who were brought together and went to Las Vegas where they attempte... more...

Christmas trees, fruit cake, presents, carols, bickering relatives, and the sound of an adult telling a bespectacled eight year old boy You'll shoot your eye out! These are some of the most important things of any holiday season. If the last piece of the aforementioned Christmas merriments is unfamiliar to you, then many would say that you have not received the full Christmas experience. That line comes from the Christmas classic, appropriately titled, A Christmas Story. It is the t... more...
