So, I’m boarding a pug dog for my Mom this week because she’s on vacation. This means, obviously, that I have to walk the little guy which is fine with me. I actually like the dog and I think he likes me, so it’s a win-win relationship here!
Now I have a large, 95% […]

Though it may seem like I’ve done a major amount of video game discussion lately, I felt that it was all necessary as leading up to the inevitable…which is this blog entry.
PCWorld reports that Nintendo’s Wii is the number one selling “next generation” console in the world. This is a huge accomplishment! As […]

As if it wasn’t bad enough that sales of the PlayStation 3 are lagging far behind the competition, word came out today that Paramount and their Dreamworks studio will be dropping support for the Blu-Ray DVD format in favor of the HD-DVD format. This is somewhat big news given that the PlayStation 3 was […]

You can add my name to the growing list of both DS Lite and Wii owners. Over the course of the last few days I was able to get my hands on both of these little prizes and the results have been great so far.
The DS Lite is probably the best looking handheld device […]

The Asbury Park Press ran an article this morning talking about how Governor Money Bags signed a provision into law that can lead to the elimination of non-functioning school districts. What is a non-functioning school district? These are districts where a school board exists, but there are no schools.
For you non-New Jerseyans out […]

Now I may be the only one, but I am completely bored with the crop of Democratic and Republican candidates. If I have to look at John Edwards’ smarmy, sneaky mug one more time, I’m going to flip out. And I can’t stand to watch John McCain struggle through a campaign that has […]

There are even reports that the Wii is on pace to beat Sony’s Playstation 2 in overall lifetime sales. […]

For those of you that haven’t heard, there was a terribly tragic accident last spring at Rider University here in New Jersey. One of the fraternities on that campus had a “big brother/little brother” night and as one of their local traditions, each family tree had a family drink. Sticking to this local, […]

Former WWE & WCW wrestler Brian “Crush” Adams was found unconscious in his home yesterday. He was 44. This is, of course, another tragedy for a profession that has gone through so much turmoil in so short a time. But the only thing that is more depressing about another wrestling star passing […]

This is the second Dale Carnegie book that I’ve read and - just as with the first - what I like about the book is that it actually sticks to the title. Unlike many of today’s “self-help” and “self-improvement” books that simply tell you a philosophy or explain a way of life that is […]

Ugh. This movie had a bunch of really, really funny scenes, a bunch of awkward scenes, and a really shallow storyline. I’m sure that you can guess it already, but Chuck (Adam Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James) are two straight firefighters who attempt to fool the system so that Chuck’s kids get his […]

What a disaster this thing is, huh? Who would have thunk that a bridge would collapse during rush hour? Worse yet - the startling revelation that most of the bridges in the United States are “structurally deficient” is horrible!
Here is a situation that should have no political strings attached to it (although some […]
