Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
First off, I hope it goes over in February, and not June. Folks have been saying it’s coming for years, the February date has been known for quite a long time now. What are you waiting for, people? If you didn’t notice by now, go dark. Meh. Anyway, the question I have is this. In […]
I’ve been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: City Folk lately. I was hooked on this game in the last iteration on game consoles (that being the Gamecube version). This new one is mostly the same, and that’s a disappointment, but there’s enough small stuff changed that it doesn’t feel 100% like the old version. […]
Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been a big fan of major league baseball for ages. So it was with great joy that I got ready for January 1st, 2009. That was launch day for the MLB Network, a new 24 hour baseball channel. So I was rather excited to see that launch. Especially given […]
Once again, the fact that the United States has its collective head up its ass over the issue of sexuality comes up again, and has made me want to rant about it. This time it raises it’s ugly head in the form of the August 2006 issue of the free magazine Baby Talk. The cover […]
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: […]
