Question: When you are talking about more than one medium, as in television, radio, internet, magazines, what is the correct plural? I have been hearing the term “mediums” more and more and it is upsetting me. Is not the correct plural “media?” Is this avoided in this day and age because of confusion with the noun “media” as in the fourth estate? Is this not a...

Hey everyone: I just wanted to make you all aware of some of the positions currently available here at TBG. Obviously, more positions are available, but at this time, these are the focus. And, since you are all such great hire, what better way to find new great Barbarians than through the ones we already have. If you know of anyone that would fit the bill for the following positions, please let me...
Before I go to bed, I’d like to take a moment to wish Factory Communications, Limited a happy 30th anniversary today. Brian unknowingly gave nod to the occasion tonight by playing New Order and, for the last song, Love Will Tear Us Apart, itself turning 28 this June. Though he did not do the four or five-fer, a he often does - no OMD, James or Happy Mondays this week. Still, though, 30...

And, of course, let’s not forget Coachella. Not the most amazing lineup, but solid enough, and Coachella is a good time if you rent a house, even if the lineup isn’t everything you wanted. And, hell. I’s 1992 all over again: Portishead, The Verve, Spiritualized, Love and Rockets. Or is it 1982? Kraftwerk? Roger Waters? Still, though, I am there The “lesser” bands are solid – The Breeders, Stars,...

Dude got a little crazy in the end there, but his life story and his whole experience was one of the most fascinating lives out there. I’ve been a “fan” for years, (albeit, like the rest of them, one who had to disavow his completely offensive politics of his later life), but man. Nothing but… fascinating. And the last year or two with the renunciation of citizenship, the...

It’s nice that it does flickr and rentals, but until it has some sort of DVD/Blu Ray player, and a DVR, it’s just another box in the living room that I don’t need. And what’s worse, is the only changes are interface-based, so now my Mac Mini is behind on its interface again, and I hope I don’t have to wait A YEAR for FrontRow to catch up with the interface on the...
