Excuse me? Since when is that a sport?
You know one of the casualties of the National Hockey League lockout was their exposure on ESPN. ESPN decided that when Hockey returned that they weren’t going to pony up what the NHL wanted, and decided to go without the Coolest Game on Ice. Hockey already suffered from terrible ratings as it was, and the […]
An Update
My wife just informed me I didn’t update my blog in over a month now. So here’s your update, honey.
Another Year, Another Hour
As I sit here writing this, it’s 5:40AM, and I’m sitting at an IHOP in Rockwall Texas. I had my laptop with me as I was taking it to work later this morning, and I turned it on, and discovered that the IHOP here offers free wirless internet. So you know I had to jump […]
Cars
How about some organic fuel? June 9th can’t get here fast enough for this. :)
I watch a lot of Nazi documentaries
Joe SieglerLast night I couldn’t sleep. I had finished reading a book, and wasn’t ready to hit the pillow yet, so I flipped on the TV. I was’t expecting to be up long, so I didn’t watch any of the recorded things on my TiVo. So I flipped. I landed on the History Channel. There’s lots […]
Dumb Spam
You know with the real flood of email I get (about half a million pieces in 2005 alone), every once in awhile something happens that make me laugh about it. The other day I was looking through my spam, and saw this. It just struck me funny. Spammers use bots to insert names and phrases […]

Welcome to Operation Mindcrime
I remember now. I remember how it started. I can’t remember yesterday, I just remember doing what they told me. April 4th – it’s coming! And I can’t wait. I’ve been waiting for this album to be released since 1988 when the original came out. Also, Ronnie James Dio is Dr X – that’s so cool, […]
Olympics: Women’s Figure Skating
Last night I watched and enjoyed something I usually detest and run away from. My wife was watching Women’s Figure Skating, and I decided that I needed to spend some time with her doing something she liked. Now granted, I was’t glued to the set, as I did have a baseball magazine with me, but […]
A change in my IM client software
I just today switched IM clients. For awhile now I’ve been using Trillian Pro. Been with them for awhile. Yesterday I started looking at something else due to the ICQ protocol problems Trillian has had over the last week or so. What’s #1 to me is my IM client has to be multi-protocol. There’s NO […]
