For anyone keeping up with my stupid Best Buy saga, things have finally been resolved in favor of the good guy (that would be me). Let me first say that I appreciate comments, suggestions, and well wishes from those of you that have posted. I am sure I would have continued to fight the good [...]
For those keeping score at home, I have been trying to get Best Buy to replace my broken iPod. So far, so bad. I am not going to go into all the gory details, but I will say that on Monday I was told I should know something by Wednesday. On Wednesday I learned that [...]
I got my repaired iPod back last Friday, but unbeknownst to me, the damn thing will no longer output any sound. So I went from a static filled output that did have output, to absolute silence. So I go back to Best Buy last night and give them the run down. Of course the guy [...]
It was a long week on the work front, so pretty much nothing in the way of blogging activities. A few random nuggets: Prince (yes, the purple wonder can still get his groove on) pulled in an astounding $56.5 million dollars in 2004, which was enough to earn him top honors on the musicians making [...]
After starting out on two-stars, I quickly decided that I was actually too good (hurray!), so I had to adjust to make the game challenging. It is amazing to see the difference between two and three starts. On two stars, the game more or less plays at your pace, it some to you, and you [...]
This morning I completed my certification to coach U6 soccer in GA; at least according to the Georgia State Soccer Association.

Last night I finally got to open my copy of Winning Eleven 8 that has been sitting on the table for the last few days. I am starting off my matches on 2-stars, using West Midlands Village, in order to get ready for Ted’s WE8 League @ SGN, but so far I am finding this [...]
Tomorrow at 12PM EST is the start of the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. I know that in the US NASCAR is much more popular that pretty much any other sort of racing. With that said, NASCAR fans should watch because some of your favorite drivers are in the event. “No less than nine full-time [...]
It is hard to believe, but Gran Turismo 4 is almost here. The question is “Will any one care?” I am sure that GT4 will be picked up by a ton of gamers, but the release is almost anti-climatic. Gamers have been waiting for this title for a long (very long) time. A lack of [...]
For many college football fans, today is the day that the Lord has made for football goodness. Coaches can now breath a sigh of relief (or anguish) as their unbinding verbal commitments sign on the dotted line. For fans, bragging rights begin, and spring football cannot come fast enough. Yes, I am talking about National [...]
I am going to do something I rarely do – cross post. In this case I figured it was worth while to post here, my recent post to the Sports Gaming Nation message board concerning Take Two’s newly acquired deal with the MLB. If you have not checked out SGN, it is a wonderful hangout, [...]
