Rotten neighbors

Posting complaints about your neighbors is just one part of what's known as on-line shaming. In June, ABC7 told you about people who embarrass their friends and enemies on the web in our special segment "Cyber Smearing." Now, a cybersmearing site that attacks "rotten neighbors," is at 41 million users and counting.

Nerdcore

I feel at home at hip hop shows. I am in my element. I am around people who love the same kind of music I love. This past Wednesday night, however, for the first time in my show-going life I was at a hip hop show as an outsider. Nerdcore rap was something that I had only vaguely heard of, all I knew of it was rap with a whole lot of references to video games, Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars, the Internet and comic books and oh yeah this MC Frontalot guy was considered the "Godfather" of it all.

Dancing with the stars winner

Log on tonight just after 8 for a sneak peek at who wins the finale of "Dancing with the Stars." The ABC couples dance show, which pairs celebs with professional dancers, has thrust fan favorite Marie Osmond, dancing with Jonathan Roberts, back into the spotlight. Will she take it all after her "doll" routine on Monday?

Geechy Guy

This bit from the Bob & Tom show is definitely worth the time it takes to download. It is from a comedian named Geechy Guy. I actually heard this tonight on a re-run of the tonight show from the 90s. Pretty funny stuff.

Tamarack Resort

Tamarack Resort
After opening a limited amount of terrain Thursday, Tamarack Resort has shut down the lifts again. Tamarack combined snow from a few smaller storms with man-made snowmaking to open up terrain on West Mountain to skiers and snowboarders for the holiday weekend.
