The first zeppelin (named after inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, seriously) took to the skies exactly 109 years ago, and though we’re a little sad they didn’t catch on as well as the airplane, we suppose all the flammable gases and whatnot are a plenty good reason. At any rate, to celebrate that 109th anniversary, [...]

We didn’t really watch the Super Bowl this year, but we did watch how the event’s logo was updated into a sweeping, dynamic, green and blue vintage composition from last year’s unimaginative chunky neon red and blue block. We love regularly updated logos (the NBA All-Star Game used to have awesome logos), so we really [...]

Famously, this year advertisers devised one second-long spots for the Super Bowl, foregoing any kind of narrative or gimmick for maximum impact spending slaps. We don’t like this.

Onesie here, back for another edition of Listicles’ weekly sports column Sporty Saturdays. I’ll be honest, it’s been tough keeping up with all my writing assignments amid the recent rush of major pro sports events.

Someone who knows the starting line-ups of The Chicago Bulls for every NBA season during the 1980s is, we think, kind of sad. Likewise, someone who knows by heart the ventilation systems [...]

Onesie here with another edition of Listicles’ weekly sports column, Sporty Saturdays. Since it’s a quiet time for my other gigs like freelance mascot work (most leagues are in their off-seasons right now) and sports writing (most publications are cutting back on freelance sports coverage), I’ve had lots of time lately to catch up on [...]

Perennial purveyor of pop culture listicles and soon-to-be online-only, Entertainment Weekly kept us watching old episodes of The Office all weekend with their latest list apropos the HBO paper company show: Jim’s 17 Best Pranks.
The Office has lost some of its edge in recent seasons as its core dynamics between Jim, Dwight, Pam and Michael [...]
