The Lies of Locke Lamora: Audio Book

August 12, 2009

I just finished one of the most interesting books I’ve “read” in a while. I say “read” because I actually didn’t read the words, as such. I actually listened to the entire, unabridged book, word for word. Sure enough, I “read” the book in its entirity. Honestly, I’ve always thought audio books where pretty cool [...]

August 11, 2009

My thanks to the veritable flood of emails which informed me the website was down recently. Took a little tracking down but I’m reasonably sure we have killed the problem.

Movie: The Hurt Locker

July 26, 2009

Just strolled in from watching The Hurt Locker. An impressively intense movie, it follows the trials and emotion of a three-man EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) squad in 2004 Iraq. Filmed in an indie, gritty, camera shake kind of style, the theater experience is impressive but not required. This movie will translate easily to DVD because [...]

It Pays to Be a Winner

July 19, 2009

Though I’m a golf fan, I rarely watch the weekly tournaments on TV; however, I always make the exception when it comes to the four golf majors held each year. The first, The Masters, is always my favorite and essentially ushures in golf season. The U.S. Open is always a great challenge and fun to [...]

Admin Issues

July 14, 2009

Been a little while but I suffered a code failure on the backend of the website. Took me a little time to track it down and figure out why it happened. Took me off-line for a while. However, back for some completely unimportant and edgy commentary on pop culture normality.

Little Poker Action

June 27, 2009

Sure, I enjoy a solid, friendly poker game now and again. I have some Paulson’s Top Hat & Cane chips (pictured), some KEM playing cards, and a home made poker table to slide those cards across. Always a good time and worth the effort. So, six of us played a quick Texas Hold’em style tourney [...]

2009 US Open Golf

June 26, 2009

I’ve been an avid golf fan for years. Picked it up while overseas and brought it back home with me. I have a middle-class set of clubs, some old but fabulous technology in my hybrids, driver and woods, and a putter that finally made me happy. All in all, I enjoy the game; however, I [...]

Skype

June 24, 2009

Sure, I’ve heard of Skype. Many magazine have extolled the virties of these excellent voice over ip client. It is free, the quality is excellent and on and on they prattle. Honestly, I was convinced long ago but I’d never actually taken the time to download the client, install the thing and check it out [...]

Kris?

May 20, 2009

Yeah, I let network TV wash over me now and again. Yes, I watch American Idol. Just took in the finale. Great 2-hour show, building anticipation for the big event. Stars, more stars, and then … then … Kris won. What the … ? Adam was clearly the superior artist; not even close. What a [...]

New Star Trek Redefines the Genre

May 12, 2009

Sure, I’m counted in the Star Trek closet club. I watched the original, errr, not originally. I enjoyed Star Trek the Next Generation. Star Trek Voyager happens to be one of my favorite TV episodes of all time — what an ensemble class with some great plots. As for Star Trek movies, First Contact rates [...]
