XXX, on a small screen near you
If you thought it was hard to keep pr0n from your kids now, just wait until Playboy and the rest start sending it to their cell phones.
Place the State
I love these things! Score: 94%, Average Error: 12miles, Time: 316 seconds. Would have been darn-near perfect if it weren’t [...]

Tally ho! I’m back on top in Tribe66486. Does that mean there’s at least 6,600,000 people playing? Surely not. Anyway, it’s good to be the Biscuits.
Wow, was I right about predicting intrigue last week? Stephanie’s performance at Tribal Council was the kind of thing that Kasparov would be proud of. Janu’s pout-fest only thwarted her [...]

My Dad is great. He knew his first-born son would be out-of-town on business during his birthday so he flew down to surprise him. Not too many fathers would book a last-minute flight and those atrocious rates just to spend some time with his boy.
So after work yesterday, I picked him up from the airport [...]

Today I received an email from one of the Yahoo! groups in which I am a member. It came from someone who lives in the Ukraine. I’ve not seen it reported in the mainstream media but in less than half a year Internet usage has grown by 60% in that country. Any idea what’s driving [...]

Were you taught that because of the 1st Amendment you were allowed to say anything you want? If so, your teacher should be sent back a grade, or two. There are limits to free speech. The popular example is that you can’t yell “Fire!” in a crowded movie theater, but there are many more.
Today on [...]

While heading to lunch, eating and then traveling back I had the opportunity to listen to the Al Franken show on Air America. I never thought Franken was funny back on SNL and with some of the extreme things he’s been saying lately, I can’t say I’m a fan, but I wanted to give him [...]

Here’s the final piece of an interview with hostage Roy Hallum’s family. This is a follow-up to last weeks post regarding Part 1 & 2. It’s truly a tragedy that the MSM gives so little airtime to issues like these.

If you’ve never been to TheOnion.com, go now. Why are you still here?!? Wha…? I said, if you haven’t been, then you should go. Off with you! Begone! Huh? You’ve been? Oh, ok, let’s move on.
Each issue of TheOnion has it’s share of lame articles but I’ll be tarred-and-feathered if there’s not a gem in [...]

Pope version 265, code named Benedict XVI, was formally installed today outside St. Peter’s Basilica. I didn’t know that’s how they did it. Hopefully, everything went well, no nasty calls to tech support or anything. I wonder how many discs it took?

There are fun games, and then there are fun, addictive games. I might need to call-in sick tomorrow because Guess-the-Google has me in its powerful grasp.
The game is simple. Just try to guess the keyword that matches all 20 of the images in the montage. But it’s harder than it looks. Plus the clock [...]

How can you not like Redemptive Stories? They’re all about the underdog, the against-all-odds story where a regular person defies all obstacles to do something spectacular.
We all get too much in the way of crisis, tragedy and calamity, so my hat is off to Steve Hartman and CBS for putting some effort behind these [...]
