Greek Gods and the Romans Who Copied Them

Monday, April 30th, 2007

I have absolutely no idea in which category this post belongs. It’s just something I wanted to put together so I’d have my own personal reference, so there you go.
My interest in this topic began back when I played Dungeons and Dragons. All these crazy creatures were captured in a book called, Deities and [...]

(A Few) UK NCAA Tournament Games on DVD

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Do you ever get your hopes up? I sure do. All the time. Seems like it’s genetically coded into my DNA. Yesterday I heard that Amazon was selling every NCAA Tournament game on individual DVDs! I was astounded!
Then, I thought, “Yeah, I need those.” Then, I thought… “I need to tell everyone!”
So today I [...]

Hillary Condems Imus, Hillary Accepts Money from Voice with Same Message

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

It’s what we’ve come to expect from so many of our politicians. I really can’t decide who I think would be worse for our country, Hillary or Obama.

“Before you book your extrastellar flight to 581 c, a few caveats about how alien that world probably is: Anyone sitting on the planet would get heavier quickly, and birthdays would add up fast since it orbits its star every [...]

Dark Side Failing

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Far be it from me to take joy in other’s troubles… uh, ok maybe sometimes, like right now! The Triumvirate of Evil has fallen on hard times and I couldn’t be happier. Let’s review their troubling situations.

The pond scum that is the Lakers don’t appear to be in that much difficulty only down 2-1 to [...]

Bulls Playing With Fire

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

I wasn’t intending to blog on the Bulls v. Heat series, until I saw this photo on ESPN. Insane! So many times the Pros play without the passion of the college game. Not these guys.

WordPress Upgraded!

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

I’ve been running a blog or two since 1996. Early on it was all manual. Then, I came across MoveableType and considered myself blessed. Then I started seeing more and more sites move to WordPress. Should I take the leap?
I mean, I’m semi-savvy but by no means a programmer so where do I turn [...]

Big Company-itis
That’s the question really: “How long before the average consumer sees Google as the ginormous capitalistic entity that it really is?”

Dubai Considering a Rotating Skyscraper

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Now, here’s something you don’t see every day… or in this case, ever.
Leave it to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates state known for wild architectural endeavors, to be the planned home for such a tower. The $350 million Dynamic Architecture building, a project of an eponymous Florence, Italy-based firm led by architect David Fisher, [...]

Mr. White Is Dunk Nasty

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Not that this is so timely or important to you, but rather than bookmark it for myself, I’ll toss it here. James White throws down some of the nastiest slams in the history of the game.

Survivor: Fuji – Week 10

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

Whoa Nellie! Big time backstabbing going on in Fuji! Didn’t think Dreamz had it in him but he double-crossed his 4 Horseman pals like a true crochet master. Learned it on the streets he did.
I could have sworn Earl’s team would have taken a serious hit with Michele leaving. So what does he [...]

Best Sports Quotes of All Time

Friday, April 20th, 2007

I’ve been amassing these insane quotes over the years and keep meaning to post them here. Well today’s the day! I don’t know what it is about sports that bring out the inner idiot in people, but some of these are just incredible.
If you have one that you think deserves to be here, send [...]

Is It the Truth That You’re Defending?

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

I don’t find myself on the same side of the issue with Penn and Teller very often. But in this case? Nail… meet hammer.
This so makes me think of:
Go ahead, grab your picket sign
And you can find out what you’re protesting later on
It sure feels great to be a part of something, doesn’t it?
Just [...]
