Looking Ahead
Alright, so this month has been a bit slow for me and I have really had to cram in a few posts since I have been swamped with test upon test.

As for right now, I am currently headed to Atlanta. Be back on Sunday!… More »

eBay Boycott Aftermath
If you didn’t know, eBay sellers held a boycott a little while ago. See my eBait article to find out more.
During the first three days of the boycott, Medved.net, a third-party Web site that tracks eBay’s listings totals, reported a decline of about 17% in the number of listed items available for sale on eBay. The number of live items jumped a few times during the remaining days of the strike but currently sits at around 13 million, 10%… More »
Nintendo games I miss playing most #1: Adventure Island
Sure, Super Mario Brothers may be the best game that I’ve ever played on the console known as the Nintendo Family Computer, at least on this side of the world, on both counts, but nothing beats the fun and excitement that Adventure Island gave me when I was young … er.
Here I go again, looking for old games to fan the flames of youth in my 30-something body. Well, I’ve found a site that will enable me to sate this… More »
Oh Crap Situation 14: Cell Phone
So I made the last “Oh Crap” 12 again because I wanted to skip over 13 (no one called me out!)… because I can be careless sometimes, too.
So you are talking to a big lead for your business, and you rely on your cell phone as your main method of communication since you are always moving. You are trying to sell your new line of bottle openers to some outlets, but for some reason your cell phone keeps cutting out. … More »

Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
Cleveland Browns QB Derek Anderson wasn’t a free agent for long. After turning down a three-year, $20 million deal from the Browns before the free agency signing period began this morning, Derek agreed to a multi-year deal with the team today. Why he waited a couple of hours beyond the deadline is beyond me. Apparently, there was some interest from another team(s) in order for him to turn the deal down in… More »

It’s a Small-ville World After All
I always swear there are only ten actors in all of Vancouver and you can prove this by looking at any TV shows made up there. Take Supernatural and Smallville:
Jensen Ackles (Dean) did a whole season as Lana’s boyfriend Jason on Smallville.
Emmanuelle Vaugier was a werewolf on SPN’s Heart and Dr. Helen Bryce on several episodes of Smallville
Julian Christopher was a doctor in “In My Time of Dying” on Supernatural and Dr. MacIntyre in six episodes of Smallville.

Maria Sharapova Wannabe Gets Booted for Grunts
In our previous post, we promised a return to the usual snark. We weren’t a-bluffin’.
Move over, Maria Sharapova. There’s a new Queen of Scream in town.
Ah, well. Here’s proof that our astute observations deserve a hearty self-congratulations. (Pfft–as if there’s never been a hint of smugness on this blog). A 9-year-old tennis player got tossed from an Australian club for—wait for it—grunting too loudly. And not tossed for the day. Banned.
That’s music to our ears, in a manner of speaking.
Why,… More »

The Kentucky Wildcats, who are only one game behind Tennessee in the race for the SEC Eastern Division title, suffered a major injury blow on Friday when stud freshman Patrick Patterson was diagnosed with stress fracture in his left ankle. Patterson will miss the rest of the season.

Will The Simpsons Take The Horror Route?
Could the next Simpsons film be a horror movie? Fans of Fox’s TV show, The Simpsons have long revered the nifty Halloween specials offered up via the yearly tradition of the Treehouse of Horror episodes. They are Halloween-themed episodes designed to scare and delight with twisted fun. According to Hank Azaria, having the next film consist of “three fantasy or horror stories” would be a great idea. Seeing a film this way may not be my cup of tea,… More »
Don’t Forget Andre Woodson
Andre Woodson did well during the year…but things are falling apart a bit. I, for one, believe that Woodson has the skill to succeed in the NFL. Of course, there are a lot of other guys we need to watch as well. Check out what Todd McShay had to say about Woodson and others:
