High Turnout

It was a proud day in Iraq yesterday as the Iraqi voter asserted himself en masse amidst the threat of death. Turns out President Bush may have known what he was talking about after all, eh?
It’s pretty embarassing compared to the turnout we normally get here…and we don’t have people blowing themselves up for [...]

Roundball

I’m sitting here watching the Hokies get destroyed by the Blue Devils. College football season is over, so it’s time I start turning my attention to college basketball. There hasn’t been much to pay attention to though for Hokies basketball though, except for a couple of seasons in the 90s.
But, surprise, the Hokies [...]

The End of all Things

I just wanted to announce that I have finished reading Lord of the Rings (actually a week or so ago).
Man, that is a long book, but a very enjoyable one. There is a ton that was left out of the movies, but I think both the films and the book are great and stand [...]

You are correct, sir

Didn’t do a whole lot this weekend as I’m recovering from my cold. I’m slowly feeling better, and I think my veins are pumping Robitussin now.
Been watching some good NFL playoff action today. Too bad the blizzard didn’t hit today instead of yesterday because that would have made these games even more fun [...]

I Be Illin’

Well, I was trying to fight it off, but something definitely got ahold of me. I’m stuffed up, head in a vise, just plain sick. That and being pumped full of meds makes for wonderful days at work. Ugh.

Homeward Bound

So my Vikes are on their way home once again, out of the playoffs. Hey, at least they made the playoffs this year, right?
Bah.
I blame Randy Moss’ hair.

She eats her peas, one at a time

I’m sitting here with Monica watching a couple episodes from the Seinfeld DVDs that we received for Christmas. They really did a good job with these things.
I especially like the “Notes About Nothing” that appear during each of the episodes. They really give a lot of insight into the production of [...]

Nice Jobs

Ok, Apple, you’ve got me to buy an iPod, but I’m NOT going to buy anything called an iPod Shuffle or a Mac Mini.
Really, I’m not.
Why do I even care? I’m not an Apple fanatic or anything, but it seemed as if the entire Internet was buzzing over Macworld today. I guess I’m [...]

Peas in a Pod(cast)

Since acquiring my iPod, I’ve discovered something that I would best describe as cable access radio. It’s called podcasting.
Podcasts are basically audio programs of varying length which are delivered to your computer via subscription. You don’t need an iPod or even an mp3 player to listen to them, just a computer. Just [...]

Roustabout

Today, Elvis would have been 70 years old. Tune in to brimon radio to celebrate the birthday of the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll.
Long live the King!
