It’s 2002. Game 6. Montreal leads the series 3-2.  It’s 6:30pm on the West Coast and I begin watching my TiVo’d game, timeshifted by about 2.5 hours.  About 15 minutes later, my phone rings, “CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?” exclaims the excited relative.
That one was understandable.
It’s 2008.  There should be no such calls.  It might be […]

Holy cow!

Go Habs Go!

My wife and I don’t get food delivered all that often, as we prefer to cook. Partly because we enjoy cooking, partly because we enjoy the taste, party because of the healthiness of knowing what is in our food, and partly for the ecological/sustainability issues around buying local, etc. BUT, when we do […]

Hey, at least it rhymed…
My 15-year-old cousin Jared cowrote, then read aloud an original poem. I’d say it’s pretty impressive for a 15-year-old, but I think it’s pretty impressive for any age! Great job cuz!

Originally I was preparing to write a number on how much I hate music snobs.  You know, the people who glance at your iTunes playlist and make a mocking comment about something you have in there, and then you kinda joke back about “how’d that get in there” but deep down you really like Tiffany’s […]

Hello.  This is my last week as a 1K flyer, and I felt it made sense to give you feedback as to why this is the case.  First and foremost, this is a deliberate effort on my part.  While I absolutely maintain the Mileage Plus program is probably the best of all frequent flyer programs, […]

About a month ago, congress had a hearing on preventing a recession. While I’m not personally believing all the media hype/frenzy about an impending recession, I do think this is a good topic for my elected officers to spend their time on. Listening to baseball players talk about steroids, on the other hand, is […]

This weekend was chock full o great news.
Beyond the Patriots losing the Superbowl…
Beyond me getting two awesome naps…
Beyond me finishing up some really annoying tax paperwork…
A friend sent me a link to a story announcing a potential Arrested Development movie! OMG!  Look at banner!
Seriously, I think AD is solidly on top of my list of […]

Saw this comment on Engadget today:
… I’ve heard a lot of poor reviews of AppleTV, but I think it’s getting better. Still, I’m not a fan of their Nazi-esque ways …
If I may clarify, while Apple may have totalitarian-ish regime, they most certainly haven’t murdered millions of people.  The comparison is terrible.
I wasn’t a […]
