St. Patty's Day - another excuse to get drunk. I wager that there will be thousands of people who will drink more alcohol today than I've ever had.

So I've had the Kindle 2 for a week. And I read the fairly long user guide. And that's about it. I just haven't had the time. I don't see that changing much any time soon. Over the summer, things might be different, but right now's an awfully busy time of year. P.S. If GolfWeek […]

When I was a kid, it seemed as though my family knew just about everyone that lived around us - our neighbors. They talked to most of them. Today, I don't know many of the neighbors around me nearly as well. It may be a symptom of many things - more time spent together as […]

I recently held a contest at another site of mine. People had to correctly answer six product-related questions in order to be eligible, and one of the questions was phrased in a mildly tricky fashion. The product was a rangefinder, and USGA rules recently allowed rangefinders to be used - at a tournament committee's discretion […]

March is colorectal cancer awareness month, and you can help.

I didn't even know that "simple.wikipedia.com" existed until xkcd told me. What the heck? Is it Wikipedia for morons? The Simple English Wikipedia is for everyone! That includes children and adults who are learning English. So it's for children, adults learning English, and morons. Got it. 😉 In all seriousness, that's kind of cool, particularly […]

Someone needs to hire a "proffesional" spell-checker.

I really couldn't care less that T-Shirt Hell is closing. In my opinion, their shirts weren't so much funny as they were shocking. While I think an occasional shock is good, on the whole, the shirts did more to encourage negative vibes than positive ones, and it's for that reason that I never bought a […]

I didn't watch the inauguration today, and I was surprised at how many people did. I love to watch history in the making, but history in this case was made back in November, not today. Today was but a formality.

Literally a sign! I took this picture at my local bank, a National City branch on 26th Street. We were there to close out a mortgage line (we're consolidating) and noticed this sign. National City was recently bought out by PNC - the final approvals just occurred, as far as I know, and many of […]

By far, one of my favorite things about the holidays are chocolate covered cherries. And peppermint ice cream, but less so. For $0.99, you can pick up some truly awful chocolate covered cherries, but even those are good in limited quantities. The really good ones you pay for, naturally. I have but one question, though: […]

I think I might like to try my hand at learning to ride a unicycle. It can't hurt anything and it might be kind of fun.

The "Vanguard" - a college-age vigilante justice group - was featured in the plot of last night's episode of Numb3rs on CBS. Looks an awful lot like the Rivet icon, no? I joked with Brad that we should sue CBS for copyright infringement, but hey, at least we were kind of on the "good side."

As I write this, Mike Komisarek and Andrei Markov still lead the NHL All Star voting for defensemen. Carey Price is still the leading gaolie. Three Habs still occupy spots 3-5 for forwards, only recently being overtaken by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. The game's being held in Montreal to celebrate a centennial, so I […]
