SPAM5000 - The Crap Keeps on Coming!

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

It seems like it was just a few days ago that I announced we had reached over 4000 spam comments that Askimet stopped on this blog. Well, now we’re up to 5000!
Completely ridiculous…

Funny Folks at the New Gym

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

I’ve been attending Gold’s Gym in Pier Village for a few months now (since August). One of the best parts about going to the gym, for me, is the humor involved with the whole trip.
However, since I generally go to Gold’s between 5:30am and 6:00am and stay until about 7:30am, there really isn’t that […]

Monday, October 9th, 2006

When you get a chance, I added some pictures to my online photo album at Google’s Picasa site. You can take a look at them using the URL below:

They’re pictures of an early morning at Long Branch, New Jersey’s Pier Village. Some great shots there.

Book Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Friday, October 6th, 2006

Mainly at my GGL’s urging I started reading the Harry Potter series of books. I have to admit that I read the first two books months ago and now that I’m ready to begin the third one, I figured I might as well post book reviews on the blog about the previous books.
The thing […]

A Clean Inbox

Friday, October 6th, 2006

You know what’s exciting? A clean inbox.
I just cleared out all of my Inboxes from my work e-mail address, my Gmail address, and my Yahoo address. It’s more exciting than that because my Gmail address also catches all of the Usable Web Solutions, LLC e-mails and my Yahoo address catches the huge number […]

Book Review: The Good, the Bad & the Mad: Weird People in American History

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

Sometimes you get a book because it’s on the $2 rack at Barnes and Noble. This would be one of those books. That being said, I think that it was an interesting read, if not necessarily a fun one.
The author, E. Randall Floyd, does an absolutely magnificent job of finding some of our […]

New Benchmark Reached: SPAM4000

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Just wanted to put up a quick update that since I’ve installed Askimet spam protection on this blog, it’s caught 4070 “spam” posts.
That’s 4070 stupid e-mails that I did NOT receive…
That’s 4070 worth of “comments” from bots talking about viagra and other drugs…
That’s 4070 ways that our internet experience (both you and I) is getting […]

DVD Review: Smallville, Season 5

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

It’s unbelievable that the last Smallville Review that I wrote was back in February. Seems like such a long time ago…
If I had to categorize Season 5, I would say that this was the “growing up” season of Smallville. One of the biggest complaints that I always hear about this show is that […]

Movie Review: Jackass Number Two

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

Absolutely hilarious. This movie was just great from start to finish.
The amount of trauma that these men put their bodies through for our enjoyment is unparalled in all of entertainment. There are no performers in the world today like these guys. Yeah, they do some idiotic things, but they are absolutely great […]

“Those Damn College Kids!”

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

I’m sure that the quote above has been screamed day after day inside the homes of delusional residents since the completely rude, completely asshole-ish summer tenants left a few weeks ago and alleviated our local towns of their inherent arrogance. How crazy are things in Ocean Township now, you ask?
Well, remember the stories that […]
