Update:  I’ve been making use of the policy below for years, but I had read this past week that it was discontinued on September 1st. This is a major bummer to me, as it was a great deal which I’ve gotten much money back from. Perhaps that is the reason they stopped doing it. I […]

I don’t often talk about politics, mostly because I know the kind of conversations that usually come after it. They’re generally not good. However, I feel compelled to say something. PEOPLE THAT VOTE FOR SOMEONE BASED SOLELY ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN OR THEIR PARTICULAR GENDER REALLY PISS ME OFF. I know way too […]

I was a fan of the original Iron Chef show from Japan, and watched Iron Chef America for a time. It’s a respectful enough sequel to the original, unlike that fiasco with William Shatner. Anyway, I guess I should have expected this. A videogame based on Iron Chef. But I wonder how the heck it […]

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 […]
