The nominations are in.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King did very well.
I think the biggest shocker is that Cold Mountain did not get a Best Picture nomination. I haven’t seen this film, but it was getting rave reviews so I figured it was a lock for a [...]

So we got about five inches of snow last night through this morning, and the roads are a mess. Some of the side roads I took this morning were actually clearer than the main roads. To top of it, there’s an ice storm on the way.
And what does the federal government do about [...]
Captain Kangaroo is dead.
I remember watching this show as a child and loving it. My favorite part was always Mr. Moose telling knock-knock jokes and the hundreds of falling ping pong balls that would ensue. To a child, this was comedic genius.
Heck, that’s even comedic genius to an [...]
Happy Lee-Jackson-King Day!
It’s just a Virginia thing so no one else really knows what that means, but when I was a kid, we celebrated Lee-Jackson-King Day. Not that there was any actual “celebrating” in school, but that’s what I remember the day being called.
Today used to be the day to celebrate the [...]
13.
That was the number on the thermometer this morning. I know people up in New England would love to have those kinds of temperatures right now, but to me, that’s the type of cold that’s “bone-chilling”, as the kids like to say. With the windchill, it feels like -5.
-5!
Who actually knows what -5 [...]
If you’re going to New York to exchange gifts and celebrate Christmas with your family, you might want to bring the gifts with you.
Apparently, it’s “okay” to have awards and parties spewing hatred and making comparisons to genocidal dictators as long as the person you’re talking about is named George W. Bush. [...]
So I finally decided to hack my xbox.
For those not aware, to hack your xbox, you have to disassemble it, solder in a modchip, and then reassemble it. It’s that easy.
Actually, I had never soldered before and the thought of it seemed quite daunting, but after much research and some practice [...]
How cool are the photos from Mars (especially the color ones)?
It’s difficult to wrap your head around the fact that those are actually pictures from another planet. It’s straight out of science fiction. Maybe we’ll colonize it and start mining it and then people will take virtual vacations and discover that they aren’t [...]
Well, the Christmas decorations are down so that means the holiday season is officially over.
By now, I’m always ready to take them down and get the place back to normal, but it’s a bit depressing as it’s a signal that it’s time to go back to work and join the real world again. I’ve [...]
I’ve posted our photos from the New Year’s Eve Party.
I can’t believe it’s already 2004. When I was a kid, any year that didn’t start with a 19 just sounded so weird. Either it was a time long ago that I read about in history books, or it was some time in the [...]
