If you’re a Gmail (or Google Apps Mail) user, then you’ve probably seen this lately. A few months back, Google pushed out a newer, “faster” version of Gmail, which by all accouts is faster. It appears (to this non techie programmer), that some of the things are done in javacript locally, then “pushed” (of sorts) […]

Since I live in Dallas, and have the hell of living in Cowboy land, one majorly huge lifeline for me is the NFL Sunday Ticket package on DirecTV. It allows me to watch pretty much whatever game I want, so I get to see all the Eagles games (I’m from Philly), and Steeler games (wife’s […]

I’ve been married to my wife now for 11.5 years. I’ve known her for almost 21 years total. While I love her a lot, it’s always nice when someone else seems to notice that. A couple of weeks ago, we received a card in the mail at home. Here’s the text contained in the card: […]

Here’s a story I sent via email to several of my church members on Monday. I had quite a span of three days thinking about Jesus, God, & the Holy Spirit in my life. Check it out: I wanted to write some of my friends from church and let them know of a powerful thing […]

A friend of mine (Eh, eh, eh…) tipped me off to this link today. It’s a story that doesn’t seem to want to go away. The Tom Cruise in Star Trek rumor that has been flying since the first moment JJ Abrams took over control of Star Trek. That issue aside, you have to love […]

If you spend any time watching movies, then you’ve seen the graphic below. It’s the Film Ratings Board’s image that shows up in front of all trailers. That’s why I’m writing. See the text there? “The following preview has been approved for all audiences by the Motion Pictures Association of America”. I have a few […]

With the new series of Doctor Who starting in less than two weeks now, I thought I’d revive a post I made on another forum about ages of the actors. Was talking to a friend of mine who asked me how old David Tennant was (he’ll be 37 on April 18th), and it reminded me […]

I signed up for XM Radio back in the Spring of 2005. The reason I did it was because of their 24 hour baseball talk channel, dubbed “MLB Home Plate”. They run several things on that channel. Primarily it’s various talk shows. But the biggest bugger has been that it’s not on the XM Radio […]

The official launch of the new season of Doctor Who in the UK has been formally announced as April 5th. I’ve known about that for a couple of weeks now due to a source I’d rather not name, but it’s nice to see it pubicly out there now. UPDATE: The official Series 4 trailer has […]

As the two or three of you who regularly read this blog might remember, back in February of 2007, I had a problem where my original Xbox 360 died. My original Xbox 360 was bought on January 1, 2006, and lasted until February 3, 2007. At that time, I had been just out of warranty, […]
