NBC is either now phoning it in or really hates me...
We want a Mountain West Hockey Conference…
Saturday, August 16th, 2008For those of you who don't know, I spent the early part of the 90s as a graduate student at Colorado State. Especially in the beginning, I struggled with homesickness. I hated Fort Collins. I hated the crappy room I was renting in a basement. I ...
It’s that time of the year again…
Monday, August 11th, 2008TV Dead Pool. Taking entries all throughout August. I don't know whether to be happy or sad that NBC "saved" this morning's USA water polo game so it could be broadcast later. I was sure it would be a cinch to be on a cable channel this morning. ...
I did not use Photoshop…
Sunday, July 20th, 2008...other than to crop the scan. This is from the July 20, 2008 issue of the Downriver News Herald, which is a thrice-weekly paper in my old hometown. This particular issue covers Riverview plus three other communities -- Trenton, Grosse Ile and Wyandotte. This particular notice was ...
But it really feels like 64.38812 today…

Although I still don't understand why you would point out the stadium collapsed in your own advertising, he seems fine for the ...

We finally have an answer…
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008We've been waiting nearly four months, but we finally have an answer to what festive movement performers are. Apparently, they are stilt dancers from Cleveland. My alma mater, and specifically my division (notice they're not even a "school"), spends money to import Zubaz-remnant wearing, multi-pogo-stick-leaning dancers from Ohio. Apparently, the ...
The 12 Days of No Internet at Home…
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008...have not been pleasant ones. I was given four different "commit" times by Earthlink on when my internet service would be restored. To me, "commit" means "it will be done". Only one commit time should be necessary. I will probably not be staying with them for ...
