March Madness is one of my favorite times of the year. So why should it end, just because the month is coming to a close? Most assuredly not. So I ventured to find an appopriate, uh… condition for each month to come and we can celebrate year-round! [In case it isn't obvious, this is purely [...]

Today Terri Schiavo passed on. There has been an incredible amount of discussion on this and related matters for the past several months; which is a very good thing. I’ll just briefly list what I’ll be taking away from this experience.
Whether to live or die is a decision that should be left up to the [...]

Well, my strategy worked marvelously, I must say. While others shied away from the guaranteed negative points, I embraced them, as well as, the additional 94 points. If I had stuck with my existing lineup I would have only received 16 standard points. Instead I garnered 110 and I’ve moved up to 2nd in my [...]

Look, I’m not a prude, really I’m not. You’ll have to take my word on that. But after tuning in for the last 20 minutes of this season’s The Bachelor, it has to be on its last leg. Why else did they get this guy? To reference Seinfeld, he’s a mimbo. So they surround him [...]

Mark Cuban is a bright fellow. One must be to accomplish all that he has. David Goldenberg (a contributor to the piece) passed along an interesting interview with the Internet-insider who knows a thing or two about using the Internet as a broadcast medium.
This is particularly relevant given that the Supreme Court is [...]

Anyone who’s rented the latest action-thriller from Blockbuster knows that DVDs are fragile objects. Who wants to drive back to the store? Or worse, have to mail it back to Netflix?
Unlike the floppy discs, which protect the data covered disc with a retractable “door”, DVDs and CDs only use a thin reflective layer of polycarbonate. [...]

How would you like a watch that can receive news broadcasts and stuff? And it’s only $150! Sure it’s made by Swatch but how cheap-looking could it be? Oh… very cheap. The idea sounds great, we won’t have to have those extra pool of minutes from our mobile company but if you think about it, [...]

I’ve received enough comments about the difficulty of reading white text on a black background to force my hand. (Not much of a shove, as I love designing.) So today I release the newest version of 21st Century Paladin.
As many of you may or may not know, I’ve been posting thoughts, links and pictures to [...]

Today I saw one. Bathed in the glow of electric light was this… this thing of complete and utter beauty. One must see it, touch it, dare I say, handle it to appreciate the ecstasy such a device affords. Reviews are largely glowing, so the only question is, “When will you get yours?”
I guess I [...]

Ace of Spades is talking about Timmy Haag who last year went on the war path. [Note: Harse language.]
How come we’re not hearing about this stuff? CNN should be ashamed. Certainly they could squeeze in an hour or two for an American hero amidst their almost non-stop coverage of the latest Hollywood trial and their [...]

No, no, no. Not Iraq, the war between Basil and that droopy-pants wearing know-nothing Sortapundit. The details are a bit sketchy but I think they traded baked goods and Twizzlers to seal the deal.
Maybe I’m new to these cyberfights but I expected more dead pixels.

Very few states love their hometown heroes like Kentuckians. They build online shrines commemorating the people and their stats. They boast one of the country’s most active online community, called aptly enough, Wildcat Faithful. They build charts and tables of stats and… ok, enough about me.
It’s an undisputed fact that in Kentucky basketball is king. [...]
