Five Hits on Thanksgiving Day

Hockey The Flames got spanked in their first game of the season against the Oilers (who almost made me want to cheer with them with what a dynamic young team they’ve assembled.  But then I remembered that only could happen after they’ve sucked for much of the last decade so the feeling passed.)  Topping the […]

Saturday Snap – Bubble Tub at Grandpa & Grandma’s

A recent study found that 80% of kids have an online presence by the age of two.  I’m not sure how they define “online presence” – it could be anything from “someone uploads a pic of a new baby to Facebook” all the way to “parents create Facebook profile for their newborn!” (although obviously a […]

Not sure where I came across it but Atdhe.net allows you to watch a variety of programs online and for free.  I feel like I’m missing something about this site but at any rate, enjoy it while you can – these types of sites rarely stay around long.

10 Things I Thought I Might Blog About Today

Just as TV and video games are changing the neural pathways of kids, I think having a blog has had a similar effect on me. Throughout the day, I frequently think “Oh, that witty comment is something I should blog about” or “Hmm, that idea I came across on Huffington Post deserves sharing” or “I […]

Music Monday – “Darlin’ I had the best intentions/But I dug myself a hole/With a modern invention”

Another in the long list of “Things I Should Post About” is a in-depth exploration of my own views on copyright, piracy and the impact & actions of the  various related industries. But for now, I’ll say that sometimes it’s the exact opposite of what the RIAA would have you believe. For example, I watched […]
