Here’s a random fact I just read on Emerils.com. Both the macadamia nut and macadam road surface are named after the same guy, John Loudon McAdam. Yesterday he would have been 249 years old.

CFH is back!!!
For those of you who enjoyed watching The Screen Savers and Call for Help on ZDTV/TechTV, I hvae GREAT news! For the past year or 2 Call for Help 2.0 has been on the Canadian version of G4TechTV. (This network is NOT owned by Comcast, the company that bought the American version of TechTV and turned it into G4 while firing most of the staff.)
The new Call for Help show is really a mix of Call for Help and the Screen Savers. It’s hosted by Leo Laporte still, but he also has 2 co-hosts, Amber MacArthur and Andy Walker.
While this show is available in Canada on G4TechTV Canada and in Australia on the HOW TO Channel, it was not available in the United States. That is changing! Beginning on 29 August, Call for Help can be seen on G4 at 1100 EDT weekdays!!!
I’m setting my DVR right now! Downloading the torrents of the show was becoming tiresome.

Cooter says it’s crap
The Dukes of Hazzard is a classic show. Ever since it’s been back on television on CMT, my DVR has been working overtime recording it for me. But what prompted it’s sudden comeback is the new motion picture that’s been made. I honestly figured it was probaly going to be terrible since all of these movies usually are. Bow I have someone else’s opinion to back up my hunch.
Cooter from the REAL Dukes of Hazzard seems to agree and he’s actually read the script! Check it out at cootersplace.com.
