Are You Ready For “The Look”

If however, you want to argue it all started with The Original Amateur Hour, check your pulse and let me know the last time you talked to Cole Sear. In the 10 years since … Continue reading
Things I Hate – Part XXXVII
Share First of all , when I say hate, I don’t mean the all consuming, visceral, stomach churning,blood pressure pounding, temples popping, fingers pounding on the keyboard hate. It’s much worse than that. I’m kidding, it’s not that at all. My fingers are in fact dancing gingerly across the keyboard….while my stomach is churning, blood pressure is pounding and my temples are popping. Second, I don’t know if … Continue reading

CenturyLink – Good Riddence
Share Looking to save some money, late last year I switched from Comcast (aka XFINITY) to CenturyLink. I ended up with the 12Mb option, which actually gave me a consistent 11.4Mb, (download speeds).

ShareIt’s been months, many months, since I’ve last shared my thoughts, hopes, inspirations, dreams, drivel (often all in the same post and often indistinguishable from one another). It’s time to fire up the random thought generation furnace, stoke it with the fires of logic and reason and feed the creativity engine with the hot coals of hyperbolic rhetoric. It’s time to get back to work. Watch This Space for updates … Continue reading
SportyPal Goes Pro
ShareIt’s been a while since I wrote about SportyPal. However, March has come in like a lamb so I pumped up the tires, strapped on my helmet and started riding. Since my last use of SportyPal, they have released a “pro” version which, unlike the non-pro version, costs money for some added features. I downloaded the “pro” version and went for a ride. Like the … Continue reading

The Recession is Dead, Long Live the Recession
Share I’ve been writing this blog for a few years now and have yet to write anything political. I’ll keep that trend by saying this is more about economics then politics. The Recession is Dead, Long Live the Recession It’s what has been called the worst recession since the Great Depression which began with the Wall Street crash in 1929. I’m not going to go … Continue reading
