Will Showtime’s new dramedy Weeds catch the attention of Six Feet viewers in search of a new premium suburban soap opera? Swap out the mortuary arts meme with cannibus culture, and the formula stays intact: talented actors, top-shelf production quality, intelligent writers, suburban California, premium cable, trail-blazing subject matter, confusing comedy with tragedy.

PSP 2.0 North America Arrives
August 24th, 2005 · No Comments
Yo. I take one short break from playing Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, and Sony goes releasing firmware 2.0 North America on me.Naturally, viewing my own site on this bizzarre ‘cinemascope’ web brower reveals the need for a redesign. PSP Magazines already offers a slim site. It is a whole other browser to consider now, isn’t it?The text input experience was about as painful as a good cell phone, so in effect, tolerable in a pinch, but not ideal. It features some enhanced text input helpers if you really ‘game out’ the controls when you think of typing - use the R and L buttons for cursor control. It’s easy to imagine some youngsters really getting good at typing with this thing, for real.

PSP Firmware 2.0 Update for North America Mired in Delays and Speculation
August 22nd, 2005 · 1 Comment
Sony tells us that they will deliver the firmware upgrade that features the web browser we’ve been promised that should have been there in the first place. It is already available to our counterparts in the mother-country, and apparently even works fine on North American versions, as long as you’re willing to forgo the warranty. Since that didn’t cover dead pixels very well, should it matter? If you think the upcoming Boards of Canada album has been riddled with controversy, reading the forums over at a typical PSP enthusiast site may put things in perspective.

Six Feet Under, 2001-2005, Rest In Peace

In bereavement for the passing of the first great HBO dramedy, we read the obituaries and look into grief counseling. Perhaps you need to put the first song of Ted’s Deeply Un-Hip Mix on infinite repeat as you imagine all of your loved ones die happily ever after.
