I need some trophies for a silly "Ryder Cup-like" competition I'm holding in October. One main trophy with four little separate trophies (for each of the winning team members). Does anyone know where I can find such a trophy? Locally? Online? I am not sure where to begin. Ideally, the trophy would be somewhat cheesy, […]

Carey and I went to the Pittsburgh Pirates ballgame last night. The Buccos won 5-3, despite Lloyd McClendon and José Mesa's best efforts to produce a different outcome. Carey and I were seated a bit further back than the last time we went, but on a very similar line. Last year I had only my […]

Question: Longhorn is apparently going to be known as "Vista." Do you like the name? My Answer: No. And the funniest comment I've read today was "Hasta la vista, baby!" 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Question: How is Islamic Jihad different than the Christian Crusades? My Answer: I'm paraphrasing the question, but I saw it elsewhere and thought it might stir up some opinions. So go ahead and share 'em, eh? You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Question: What was your favorite book as a child? My Answer: Where the Sidewalk Ends, by Shel Silverstein. No, that's not an affiliate link - it's just underlined. My mom attended some conference for parents of smart (I hated the term "gifted") kids while I was at some science fair or another, and someone recommended […]

Question: How far are you from the nearest beach? My Answer: Seven miles (five or so as the crow flies). Lake Erie (duh). I'm not quite as close as I was in Florida where I was four and two (and to a much bigger body of water). You are encouraged to answer the Question of […]

This is just a test of some acronym script I've got going here. Let's see if it recognizes DVD or HTML or MP3 or WYSIWYG or some other acronyms like PDF and JPEG and GIF. FAQ? That should be easy. It doesn't seem to work. Even after changing the &lt; and &gt; to < and […]

This interview with Ask Jeeves reminds me of that time Gabe fought with Eliza after we pitted two Elizas against each other.

Question: What's the largest sporting event in your town? My Answer: The Erie Seawolves are currently the top draw, but that may be changing soon - they may be heading to Holyoke, MA. That'd be a pity - Jerry Uht Park is a great place to watch a baseball game, and the Seawolves have done […]

Question: In honor of iCal Day, what calendaring application do you use? iCal? Something else? My Answer: I use iCal. But my scheduling app requirements are pretty darn simple. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Carey and I had our wedding reception/housewarming party today. Most of my side of the family didn't show. My parents, my (maternal) uncle and his family, and my grandma (also maternal) were there. My sister and her husband and all of my dad's side of the family failed to make it, and only one (thank […]

Question: As well as you might know me, how would you recommend I spend a $40 iTMS gift certificate? My Answer: I'm looking to discover some new music. I like R.E.M., Live, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and bands like that. I'd rather not explore entirely new realms of music, but tunes along the lines of […]
