I realized a fun local tie in to your movie watching is to pay attention to films that prominently feature blurbs by CBS/CW’s own Mark S. Allen. One such piece of crap is “August Rush,” which I’m embarrassed to say I rented with the wife. We thought it would be a charmingly flawed popcorn rental, … Continue reading “MSA Reviews: August Rush”
Today’s Bee reports that Haagen Dazs is donating $100,000 to UC Davis to help find out why honey bees are disappearing at alarming rates. (OK, so I grew up watching Leonard Nimoy’s In Search Of and being frightened about the impending killer bees, and now the nice bees are vanishing? What gives? I want to … Continue reading “Product Placement”
A photo of Tom Brady is a blog post’s ticket to Google success Two free events coming up this weekend that I wanted to make sure to mention. First of all, don’t forget Saturday is Museum Day.

Local blog, Flippers in Trouble, received a mention recently in a Forbes.com article about the best places to flip a home. Watching asking prices drop on flipper properties–those bought and sold within two years, according to real estate agents–has become a sport in the Sacramento real estate blogosphere. By filtering official Multiple Listing Service (MLS) … Continue reading “Chicken Little 2.0”
First, I should point out that these are my views. I’m sure others share them, but none of us Sac Rag contributors should ever be construed to be speaking for the rest. I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m enjoying watching the Bee squirm after their Slavic Evangelical accusations in the Singh case have all but dried … Continue reading “Breton backpedals on hate crime case”
Sorry for the lapse in entertainment recommendations last weekend. We hope to make it up to you with a prime time, Sacramento-sized deep fried bucket of weekend entertainment: FRIDAY– Perhaps the greatest musician to come out of Berkeley High School, and a former Sacramento resident, Charlie Hunter and his ultra funky 8-string guitar (that’s 3 … Continue reading “Watcha Doin’ This Weekend?”
