Pop Culture Week in Review: September 21-27

I managed to come up with a few things to recap that WEREN’T about Breaking Bad. Don’t worry. This was a week in which the LEAST exciting pop culture news was one of pop culture’s biggest awards shows. Funny, isn’t it? Let’s go ahead and get the Emmys out of the way so we can get to the other stuff. It’s the pop culture week in review for the last full week of September! Read More

Awesomesauce – Roadtrippers

When I was little and we’d make the trek down south to Florida or South Carolina for vacation, my mom would always stop by our local AAA Office first and get a TripTik. These were basically personalized, highlighted maps of your route showing you where to go, local traffic information along the way (always marked on the paper map with a little rubber stamp in the shape of a traffic cone), the locations of gas stations, etc. Now, of course, that service has moved online, but only if you’re a dues-paying AAA member.

Awesomesauce Top 5- The BBC

It should come as no surprise to some of you that I’m a bit of an Anglophile – I will own a MINI Cooper some day when I’m grown up and can afford it; I woke up at 4:30 in the morning to watch the royal wedding live; and (I swear I’m not making this up) I own a coffee cup celebrating Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee. It follows, of course, that I love me some British television. And, when I realized that Time Warner carried BBC America, it was all over. Between good ole’ channel 225 and the staggering array of BBC content available on Netflix, it truly is surprising that I venture out of my house to make a living. The main reason being is the Beeb has been putting out some seriously superior content lately. If you’ve never watched some of these shows, now is the time to start.
