Dear BBC,

You should let anybody in the world give you money for a high-quality stream of your broadcasts.

You require licensing fees of UK viewers, to pay for the content you produce. This is perfectly sensible and fair. But for some reason, you won’t take money from anyone outside the UK. This is probably due to [...]

At the end of the summer, I commandeered the table and demanded that everyone in my family surrender their Apple devices for this picture. It was not planned in advance.

This does not include a couple more macbooks and a couple more iphones that were already packed away for drives home.

And more telling than this? There [...]

I’m going to break my own nose if I do any more facepalms on account of this guy’s sub-third-grade stupidity.

Why doesn’t Mars have a sun? Or a moon?

Seriously, Bill, stop. You’re making all Americans look as stupid as you to the outside world. You could get all of your questions answered with a short afternoon [...]

Snow, snow, blizzard, ice storm, snow, deep freeze, and another nor’easter/blizzard on deck for midweek.

I guess we’re paying for the last few winters, which had been relatively mild by New England standards. Mother nature is good and pissed off this winter.

Hard to believe it’s been 5 years of Frobbing… or it will be at year’s end. Seems like a good time to give it a look-over and maybe bring it up to date a little. Things will basically be on hiatus until the end of December, and we’ll kick off 2011 with a little more [...]

Tim’s dog. Be glad this thing isn’t sharp. It’s bad enough that it’s propelled by twelve pounds of psychotic, apocalyptic fury.

Click for full size, if you dare.

All it needs is a plastic lion on the front and some red, white and blue streamers.

Riding the hybrid is like riding through six inches of water compared to this thing. Not that expensive, either. I’m not, and will not become, a hardcore gear-head, but this is a relatively easy entry into the world of [...]

Bummed because the World Cup is over? Don’t worry, here at the Frob we can help bring you right back into the excitement of things. Please enjoy the sweet melodies of the vuvuzela, which should transport you right back there again like it’s still going on.

(For best results, read the paragraph below over and over [...]

Just think… if I had kept the cable, I could have watched the Lebron James “It’s All About Me” Infomercial Spectacular last night. What was I thinking? Who wouldn’t want to watch an ego-bloated narcissist have his hand-picked “interviewer” lob him softballs before announcing he would take his talents to Miami, dumping his loyal hometown [...]
