Derek Anderson Likely Out For Season
National Football League Blogcast, NFL Blogcast
The Cleveland Browns’ luck has gone from bad to worse. Any quarterback controversy officially ended last week when then-starter Brady Quinn’s season ended with a injury. He had replaced Derek Anderson nine games into the season and the “Brady Quinn Era” had begun. Now, no sooner did Derek get his starting job back than his season looks like it’s over after he suffered an MCL sprain today during the 4th quarter of a miserable 10-6… More »

Is There a New Phone in Microsoft’s Future
I’m one of those weird people who really don’t expect or need my phone to do much else than make phone calls. That was until I ditched my PDA (a Sony Clie at the time) and went with a PPC-6700 SmartPhone running Windows Mobile. I quickly discovered that having a completely mobile device with full Internet connectivity, ability to natively open and use Microsoft documents, and to synch between my main laptop computer without much second thought was a… More »

LOL Killed His Career in TV
I’m sure we’ve all experienced that time in our lives where we’ve been in some situation where we shouldn’t be laughing, or at least not out loud, and we just can’t get ourselves under control. Check-out this video of a Belgian TV host that can’t keep from laughing at his guests on a talk show about surgeries gone bad. It turns out this little bit of laughing fit ended up costing the host his job and killed the show… More »

More Testosterone In Older Men Does Not Boost Physical Performance
…if you are already in good physical shape. A recent study showed that older men between the ages of 44-60 did not show any boost in physical performance. They did show muscle gain and strength; however.
Healthy older men who given large doses of testosterone show increases in muscle mass and power, but no improvement in physical function, a new study shows.
This was likely because the men in the current study were “unusually fit for their age,” Dr. Thomas W. Storer… More »
MMOtaku’s first taste of Rohan
I was supposed to post this article under a different title, somewhere along the lines of “What’s next on MMOtaku’s plate,” or something like that. But it just didn’t jibe with my current thrust to make future stories more search engine-friendly.
Anyway, this posting isn’t about search engine optimization. It’s about what I’ve been doing these past two weeks aside from nitpicking at my misadventures in Zhu Xian and ranting about wanting to quit Perfect World without actually leaving. Hmmm, that… More »

The X Factor 2008 – Ruth & Britney Go Down
Down to the last five in The X Factor 2008, and no real surprises about who went. Ruth Lorenzo was booted off the show for having the least amount of votes to save her, and if we’re honest, it was well overdue. Yes, she has an impressive set of lungs but Leona, she’s not.
Each of the contestants sang two songs, one by Ms Britney Spears, who performed in the results show, and one other. The judges final vote has also… More »
End Of Month MMA Wrap Up
Wow, November is over all ready and the end of 2008 is right around the corner. Where the hell does the time go? We’ve seen some exciting fights this year and it can only get better…or can it? To me it seems that some promotions are shooting for "Super Fights" to draw cash instead of singing matches with people that deserve a title match. That’s nothing really new though, is it? Anyway, I have a few things and link of… More »
