Crosby’s View, courtesy of David M* Inevitably, I get asked the question “Who’s better, Crosby or Ovechkin?” Probably because it’s widely known among my friends and acquaintances that I’m a solid Penguins fan. It’s a hard question to answer, really. Burnside and LeBrun tried to answer it recently during a series of articles around the …
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfqDVP_0O0c&hl=en&fs=1] I’m going to go prepare for the arrival of Palpatine to the White House.
FIOS installed. Rate confirmed. Though the installers were two hours late, I was up and connected by 2 p.m. And they did a nice and clean job on the installation, so I can’t complain there. I will be writing a follow-up letter to Mr. CEO, however. I can’t help but think that if the “peon” …
After some long back-and-forth and multiple phone calls (and retelling the entire saga at least three more times), it has been decided I am worthy for FIOS at an equal rate, with an additional three months reduction (of about 50%) plus free installation. And when told the earliest install date was Oct 15, the nice …
So according to one department, my DSL is connected and functioning. Yet I can’t connect to the internet. After some digging by the tech people, it’s discovered that no, actually, there’s no DSL order attached to my line. I need to call sales to ‘add’ the order. Which I’d done back at the beginning of …
100_5800 Verizon Truck, courtesy of rememberwhatgodhasdone I’m sure many people are wondering where the heck I am these days. I’ve been unavailable by phone and severely limited in my online time since our ‘big move’ two weeks back. Well, settle back, kids. I’ve got a story for you. In fact, I’ll let you read the …
Back in July of 2007, one of my friends, Brian, organized (with the help of a couple others) an impromptu ‘East Coast Commandothon’ Battletech event up in Gaithersburg, MD. Originally I wasn’t able to go, but managed to swap schedules with my work and drive up to the store for six hours of hyperactive BattleTech …
Watched Red Dawn a while back. What of it? Just enough unbelievability in it to make it a less-than-serious movie, but a great mind-sink to just lay on the couch and wander. And as I half-watched, I realized why I kinda don’t like it. It’s not because of Patrick Swayze – though I will admit …
Chateau D’if, courtesy of meuh Finished the abridged Count of Monte Cristo not too long ago (abridged…yet still 600+ pages…and I’m flummoxed to find a complete unabridged work, as there are two major plot threads I remember that are missing…) and the following questions popped into my head, as I am wont to do after …
courtesy of swishphotos My entertainment complex hasn’t changed all that much since my humble beginnings with the audio experience back when I was a teenager. (Isn’t that when most guys get involved?) Of course, by that time, I’d been “indoctrinated” with piano lessons since I was 5, impromptu drum lessons by my uncle when I …
