Bizarre Foods – Travel Channel

Andrew Zimmern

About 6 -8 months ago I had given up on TV. I canceled my cable and gave away my TV to someone who actually watched it. My life improved dramatically. I vowed never to watch TV again.

Now that some time has passed, I realized that not everything on TV is utter crap. I have found a few shows that strike my interest and if I’m lucky, I might learn a thing or two. Some such shows are Survivorman, No Reservation, and last but not least Bizarre Foods.

I hope to one day (soon) travel the world and see amazing things. Guys like Andrew Zimmern are the thing of envy. All personal feelings of envy aside…Bizarre Foods just doesn’t help motivate me in my conquest to tour the world but it can be quite hilarious to watch him eat some of the stuff he eats.  I know I’d have trouble stomaching half of what gets put into his gullet. The other have just looks so damn good!

I hope the folks at the Travel Channel and Discovery keep up their great work on educational Television. Even though I don’t own a Television I always find a way to keep up on the latest of Bizarre Foods and a few other choice programs.

Rap Video Sponsored by Seagate

Totally rad rap video. I knew I should have been a rapper. Nerd rap is a totally untapped market.

“Wanna burn a disc? How bout’ a DvD?”

That’s right boys and girls. I have not been a good little boy. I guess I know what I’m getting for Christmas. Nothing but a lump of coal. I guess the good people over at HBO don’t take to kindly to people taking full advantage of their high speed cable connection.

I recently spent about a month living down in California and just couldn’t go without a decent cable connection. I did what anyone would do and ordered internet from Charter Communications. Since they are so kind as to not limit how much bandwidth I use (unlike the nice people over at Bend Broadband) I go crazy. Downloading anything and everything I might like. By that I mean all the latest linux distros, watching shows on Hulu, and many other various forms of LEGAL bandwidth consumption. Read the rest of this entry
