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?)

An unconfirmed, unofficial list of the top earners of Google’s AdSense service.

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.

New and Improved Subscription Services
Made some behind the scene changes on Pulpconnection over the weekend. I’ve been reading Blogging for Business: Everything You Need to Know and Why You Should Care that has some good recommendations. Following the book’s advice, I went back to using FeedBurner to handle Pulpconnection’s RSS feed.
FeedBurner offers an enhanced RSS feed that is more customizable and has additional features. To me, FeedBurner’s a little confusing with all the options they have, but I’m slowly starting to understand the services they offer for free.
So if you subscribe to Pulpconnection’s RSS feed, please do me a favor and update your feed reader with the new URL of:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/pulpconnection
or you can click on the RSS icon I now have in the sidebar area. Still don’t know what RSS is or how it’s a game changer? If Oprah had to explain RSS, it might go something like this.
Second, if you’re not convinced RSS is for you, I also added the ability to get daily Pulpconnection updates via email. Again, thanks to FeedBurner, you can opt in to a mailing list that will send you a single daily email with all the Pulpy updates of the day.

Prices Going Up at SBUX
You know you’re powerless and can’t fight back. What are you going to do now that Starbucks is raising their coffee prices? Stay away or take your business elsewhere? Make your own Frappuccino? Gimme a break! You’re addicted to Starbucks’ caffeinated concoctions and just seeing the sight of that familiar green logo comforts you. You know it, and they know it.
Starting in October, all coffee-based drinks will go up a nickel and coffee beans will go up about 50 cents per pound. But this price hike is only for Starbucks locations in North America. Hawaii Starbucks falls under their International market so we won’t be affected. But then again we’re already paying a higher price for our drinks! A grande caramel macchiato here costs $4.11 and only $3.45 in the Armpit of Cali.
Maybe there should be coffee cap law or something to help stabilize the prices?
A Few Pics
Just a few pics taken awhile back at La Palme Dor Patisserie. Been sitting on my memory card ’til now.
Yum!

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.
