Battlestar Galactica – The Story So Far
Can’t believe the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica is coming up on October 6 already. Seems like just recently I was complaining about the late start of season 3…
To catch you up on all the storylines, the iTunes Store is giving away a free 44-minute video detailing The Story So Far.
Still can’t get enough BSG? Go over to Sci-Fi.com for a Q&A session with Grace Park. (You know she uses a Mac PowerBook?)

Top Google AdSense Money Makers
An unconfirmed, unofficial list of the top earners of Google’s AdSense service.
8. DigitalPoint.com – $10,000 per month
7. Joal Comm – $24,000 per month (author of the e-book What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense)
6. AskTheBuilder.com – $30,000 per month
5. Freeweblayouts.net – $100,000 per month

Man, I’m in the wrong line of business! Even $10K a month is good. The #1 guy at $300K a month rakes in $10K per day. Me? I’m up to $9.16 since I started. That’s 2 trips to Starbucks (even with their raised prices).

Tunes on TV
The radio airwaves are no longer the only place to find great tunes. More and more new material can now be found on the television. And I’m not just talking about theme songs that start the shows. Watch any decent show, and you’ll ALWAYS hear music playing during the highest and lowest points of the show. A perfectly matched tune accentuates the mood that makes a good scene, a great scene.
The USA Weekend, Sept 22-24 edition has an article describing how music critics are tuning to television shows. Many new artists are getting a kick start being featured on a television show and TV soundtracks are now popular buys.
The Best Music Picks are from:
- The OC
- Gilmore Girls
- Grey’s Anatomy
- Rescue Me
- Entourage
The Most Promising New Shows:
- Shark
- Six Degrees
- Heroes
- Knights of Prosperity
- (tie) Men in Trees and Ugly Betty
Of notable interest of this tunes on television rise is music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas. She’s responsible for choosing the music featured on The OC, Grey’s Anatomy, and Rescue Me and is now working on Shark. Impressive.
After watching the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy, I caved and bought the Volume 2 soundtrack off of iTunes. In less than 5 minutes, I was listening to the finest of Seattle Grace Hospital.

Nancy Glass Productions?
After receiving a comment from the Nancy Glass Productions about my Christmas Prank video, I had to take a look at what Nancy Glass Productions is to see if this is a legit request. Whoa! Looks legit with Nancy hosting an XM radio show and previously (weekend) anchoring Inside Edition.
Then found this link about HGTV’s Funniest Holiday Home Videos. Maybe some cruel Christmas humor may be making its way to HGTV??
Rosie’s "Nice Boobs" on Nip/Tuck
I have to admit that after waiting for the new season of Nip/Tuck to start, I haven’t watched a single episode. I even taped over the first episode figuring I could find it on-line. I’m just not in the mood for depressing, demented stories, and after hearing this, I may never watch the show again.
In a future episode, Rosie O’Donnell will be guest starring as a lottery winner who’s getting plastic surgery for her entire family. Good old Dr. Troy works his mojo and Rosie and Christian end up doing some “exploratory surgery.” While shooting this scene on the set, Rosie’s coverup tube top kept appearing in the shots spoiling the footage. The true professional Rosie is, she took off the top and let the girls out. Julian McMahon, who plays Dr. Troy, looked at Rosie and said, “Nice boobs.”
Rosie’s episode airs October 3.

Free Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee from Yahoo
Supposedly, Yahoo will be giving away vouchers for free coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts. How do you get in on this special? Set your brower’s home page to Yahoo.com this Friday, and you’re eligible.
How does this work and how would Yahoo know? I dunno, but seems easy enough to do if you want free coffee. But then, where are the Dunkin’ Donuts on Oahu? The ones in Pearl City and Kailua closed down. Are there others?

Movie Sales Going Well at the iTunes Store
After the first week of selling movies on the iTunes Store, Disney announced they made $1 million (which comes out to selling 125,000 movies). Not bad for one week of sales. Disney predicts $50 in revenue over the course of an entire year.
I did my part last night, pre-ordering Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest for $12.99. Although scheduled for release in December, I got some iTunes credit to spare.
Let’s hope other studios see Disney’s iTunes success and signs on to sell their movie titles on iTunes.
