Man painting while on fire

Now, here’s the first video ever posted on the myFOXstl.com blogs. It’s a man painting while on fire, found on YouTube.

HDTV: Cable, DirecTV, Dish?

I’m going to be a newbie to the HD world soon, and when it comes to knowing which providers have the best HD selection and quality, I’m clueless! I need some guidance before I lock in a year-long commitment. Also, I’m looking into the pause live TV feature…is the HD quality as great as watching [...]

Channel 2 News…1984

Messing with RSS feeds the other day, I stumbled upon this You Tube video that plays the Channel 2 News theme music. But someone only had the music, no video. So they creatively added crash video to it. Could you imagine if news opens had this kind of video?! I had to watch it over [...]

Firefox vs. Explorer

Firefox 2.0 and Explorer 7.0 were released within days of each other recently. We started using Firefox at FOX 2 to run myFOXstl.com because it was less buggy.

The Longest Stoplight In Town

If anyone drives in the Marlborough/Affton area, you know about Laclede Station Road and Watson Road (by Yorkshire Plaza). That light is BY FAR the longest I’ve ever sat at. It’s like standing in line at the DMV! Road crews expanded the lanes not too long ago, and I was hoping it would make the [...]

Downloading videos…it’s not the same

I remember the days when watching videos online were easy to download and keep. I have about 5 years of great videos either sent to me through e-mail or discovered on Web sites. In fact, I was going to compile a DVD of those great videos and distribute it to my friends for Christmas! But [...]

Stop Signs are Yield Signs?

I learned the true definition of a city driver when I moved into an apartment in the city a couple years ago. On the way to work, there are three stop signs a couple blocks apart along Jamieson Ave heading towards I-44 (near Mom’s Deli). When I started commuting, I used to make full stops [...]
