RIP George Carlin

I was very sad to hear that George Carlin, one of my all time favorite comedians, passed away yesterday. He died of heart failure at 71. I was really looking forward to seeing his act in July - he was coming to perform in San Jose. Now, I will never get to see a legend in comedy.

Here's a link to one of his notorious acts - NSFW
The seven words you can't say on TV

Called it: Helio is dead

I thought I blogged about how I thought Helio was a lame company, but I failed to find the entry. Must have kept it in the old noggin. I figured it was time for Helio to die. The whole company was trying to piggy back on MySpace. Peace out, lame business.
