Presidential Debate Thoughts

These are going to be running thoughts on the debate…


Debate Shmebate

10 things they don’t want you to know about the upcoming Presidential “Debates.” Apparently there is a 32 page contract full of clauses ranging from the size of the dressing rooms to permitted camera angles.


Coming Very Soon…

In the next few days I’ll be temporarily moving over to scamcity.us


Front Row Finale

With the infamous 4-1 (.800) record hanging in the balance, me and Robyn took in one last regular season game at Turner Field… This time, though, Phil and Erika came along to join in the fun.


Halfway There

SpaceShipOne completes the first of the two runs needed to claim the Ansari X-Prize. They now have two weeks to do a second run in to space inorder to bag the $10m prize money…


Yahoo Embraces RSS

Jeremy Zawodny describes how Yahoo’s “My Yahoo!” is ditching personalization and embracing aggregation and syndication through RSS and Atom feeds. Not only that, but it get’s a new look to go with it… I’ve already played about with mine, requires more news feeds though…


Virgin Galactic

To infinity… And beyond. Richard Branson sets his sights on the stars with the birth of Virgin Galactic…


Virtual Scabs

Drop the puck, the hockey season is back on… Virtually… G4TechTV makes sure the NHL season isn’t entirely lost…


Hurricane Conspiracy Theories

Everyone has a conspiracy theory about the recent spate of hurricanes rocking the state of Florida, the funniest being the way the state voted in the Presidential Elections in 2000…


Here We Go Again…

Voting arrangements in Florida do not meet “basic international requirements.” Just a little bit of history repeating…


All Good Things…

It was only a matter of time, but my 100% record at Turner Field (the only thing I held dear) has finally succumbed to the L column with a few weeks left in the regular season. On Thursday there, we went to see my 5th game (Robyn’s 6th), both sporting a fine 1.000 season record, but the Cincinnati Reds had other ideas…


Lucky Number 13

The Atlanta Braves beat the Florida Marlins 8-7 to win their 13th straight division title. It would have been much better if they beat Cincinnati the night before as I was there, I’ll post my recap over the weekend at some point…


Politicians Lie… Numbers Don’t…

Politicians lie, but numbers don’t. How does the economic record of Bush, Jr. (and Sr.) stand up against Clinton’s on Unemployment, Job Creation, the Stock Market, and the Budget Surplus/Deficit. No one statistic paints a true picture, but taken together, life under a Bush is dark and not very prosperous.


Dumped!… The Auction

Ever wanted to be an Associate Producer for a movie? Well now you can be, thanks to “Dumped!… The Musical” and eBay, your name in the credits for only $20…


The Wind Done Gone…

We watched “Gone With The Wind” last night as Erika has recently read the book and the “sequel” Scarlett, it was also the first time I’ve actually sat through the whole 3 hours 53 minutes of it…
