The last post, on Loveline, made me want to revisit some other things I miss about music, specifically on the radio. And traditions in general. I’ll get to the radio part, eventually. I imagine like other folks, after major changes in your life, like moving to a new city, or getting a new job, or…
Loveline
Building on the last post’s theme of everything going to streaming, late night radio also feels like one that suffered a lot, too. Specifically for teens. Loveline was a touchstone of teenage life. And I mean the core team of the show with Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla. The show played late at night when…
What happened to TV?
With the writer’s strike ongoing, I’ve been wondering about the present and the future of TV because it’s been going down a sad path. And streaming or FAST channels aren’t to blame. Algorithms are. No one wants to take risks when a calculated move can be safer. But we’re all guilty of that. Right now…
The Rise and Fall of Loot Crate
The lock-down from Covid provided for a lot of businesses to fail, and others to rocket into the stratosphere with success. Loot Crate was one of those I assumed would have actually found a way to become even more relevant in a world where people were yearning to fill their day with any little bit…
Mastodon
Unless something radically changes for the better, I’m off Twitter. Sorry. I just can’t condone using an environment that toxic. If you need to reach me in a social fashion, you can find me here or @theChrisGlass@worldkey.io TOOT ON!
What Happened to PlayStation’s Whimsy?
I have no clue where this is going to end, so bear with me. For a number of years, I used to get really excited during Christmastime for video games. It meant time off from school, and a slew of new games to play, especially with family. Usually it was a way to discover some…
Toys R Us
As I start this, it’s close to midnight on Thursday, June 28th, 2018. Tomorrow is the last day that any Toys R Us is operating in the United States. I guess it’s still around in Canada, but for all intents and purposes, it’s gone. There’s a litany of reasons, but I don’t want to go…
Consistency
Okay. At this point, I’m just going to get back into a flow on this, making sure it doesn’t get abandoned, even if it’s just screaming into the silence.
Sweet Christ
Okay! The nightmare is over! I might actually start making use of this space now! Not sure what to do yet. Feeling like more of a theme park bend. But I still have the Steam Keys to dump…
Alive
I’m still active. I’m still sitting on a lot of codes. Not sure what’ll happen anytime soon. But I just wanted to post just in case my site getting hammered by Eastern European spam bots were only doing it because my site said that I hadn’t posted recently. I hate spam bots. I also hate…
