We've gotten away with hits almost that bad in our no-checking D League hockey. Lame. Let's not go so far to protecting the head that we get stupid now, ok NHL? Update: The NHL properly reversed the call the next day. Letang won't be on the hook should he actually get a game misconduct later […]

97% at Rotten Tomatoes? 92% Audience rating? Seriously? I liked it, but 97%?! That's astronomically high. On a pure percentage scale, I give it a 70% or so, meaning I like it more than about 70% of the movies I've ever chosen to watch. 🙂 The most interesting part of the movie was almost trying […]

I'm looking forward to this. There will be coarse language, raw emotions, maybe a bit of gore if there is an injury. That might be off-putting to those whose uncensored moments would be beamed into people's living rooms, but the Penguins see great benefit to participating in an HBO "24/7" reality miniseries in December and […]

So, the fifth season of Dexter kicks off in a bit, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm not looking forward to the inevitable bullcrap about dealing with Dexter's wife's death (her name escapes me at the moment). I like big plot twists like that, but I dread the inevitable drawn-out aftermath. And can anyone […]

Here's My iTunes Ping account (if you'd like to "follow" me). I promise - since I don't do much with new music or music in general - that I won't flood your screen with comments or purchases. 😉

Desktop pictures (wallpapers), .ics, Excel, and other formats, all available now for download from the Penguins site.

Any fall TV shows you plan to watch? I can't say that there are many (or any?) that I'm looking to watch. I'll continue to watch Bones, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Chuck, Fringe, 30 Rock, Castle, and a few others. I'll pick up a few shows like Blue Bloods and give […]

I really like the opening credits for Covert Affairs on USA. The song feels rather "spy-like" and the opening animation is reminiscent of some old-school spy type stuff. The song and animation go well together. And yes, I do watch the show. It's bad, but it passes the time when my wife's asleep and I'm […]

Uhm, yes, please! (I don't know if embedding a Facebook video will work, but I hope so.)

DirecTV has a new "Parental" thing which uses common sense media to let parents know about the shows. Big Bang Theory is rated "Iffy for 13+" ((Does that mean it's not iffy for 13 and under?)) and carries with it the following descriptive blocks: Parents Need to Know: Parents need to know that htere's a […]

Pysanka - also called Ukrainian Egg Decorating - is an art form that consists of building up layers of wax over progressively darker dyes before melting the wax to reveal the final design. As a kid, I learned about pysanki in about sixth grade, and that winter and part of the next year I spent […]

That's what I'm jokingly calling it. I don't have a thousandth (or perhaps a millionth, but who can measure such things?) of the hockey talent Sidney Crosby's got, but I scored the overtime game-winning goal in a 4-3 championship game, just like Crosby did at the Winter Olympics, and it feels good. The game was […]

The score is now Crosby 2, Ovechkin 0. And I'm sorry, but hockey involves more than just scoring goals and racking up points. But I digress. Despite the title, I wanted to talk about the USA vs. Canada game. I think that, if the U.S. was to lose, this is the only acceptable way (for […]

Today's a bit of a "free day" in Scottsdale. We don't have anything to do until tomorrow. Well, nothing terribly serious, anyway. The four of us wake up and shower at about 6:30. Four being me, Dave, Steve, and Charlie. We head out to a Starbucks where, when I order a bagel, they don't even […]
