Georgia falling fast; Braves suck on the road.
Saturday, May 31st, 2008 at 7:18 amI am not sure what happened to Georgia. They take the SEC, but went into the tournament on a down note, dropping 2 of 3 to Alabama to close out the season. Then they quickly fell out of the SEC tournament losing two straight to Mississippi and Alabama. Despite the mess, they managed to become […]
Dare I say, living the High Life?
Sunday, May 25th, 2008 at 5:04 amMemorial Day weekend has become one of my favorite times of the year. Three day weekends are great, but this one is especially nice due to the flavors that hit the grill and all the racing action on Sunday.
First up is some serious time with the grill. Saturday ribs, Sunday thick ribeye steaks, and Monday […]
I Still Live
Sunday, May 25th, 2008 at 12:36 amHowever, Diamond Mind Baseball for the PC does not. Such an obvious sell out by one of PC text-based sports gaming’s old guard required a post. Read through the forum for the history of IS management (short for I Soldout to DMB PC fans) and Tom Tippett’s disenfranchisement of DMB PC fans. […]
Braves Hot, Georgia Not
Saturday, May 24th, 2008 at 6:54 amThe Braves quietly ran off a nice winning streak, going 6-4 in the last 10 games to pull within 1.5 games of the Marlines. Chipper Jones is a regular firecracker - .415 AVG, 12 HR, 35 RBI, 36 R, 1.172 OPS. Bobby Cox is having so much fun with this bunch that he […]
Slow news day (or week or month or whatever).
Saturday, May 17th, 2008 at 8:04 amSorry for the lack of updates. Just got back from a nice vacation at Carillon Beach, FL and am now off to Frankfurt, Germany. Should get in some PSP time on the plane and be back to regular posting for Memorial Day weekend.

GTA IV Impressions (ever so brief)
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 at 7:06 pmI spent about thirty minutes with the game Sunday night and came away thinking that this is pretty much the same game as the PS2 version, but with prettier (much prettier) graphics. Not much for first impressions, but that was my initial reaction.
I played several missions, and made it to 2.x% complete. Like I said […]
Three targets, one shot.
Sunday, May 4th, 2008 at 8:06 pmMy new shooting setup afforded me several opportunities today. The half-bath window is perfect. The window has a clear view of the backyard. I just raise the blinds a bit, raise the window, and sit on a stool (not the all popular throne). I can rest my R7 on the windowsill, and the pests are […]
Gran Theft Auto IV … Night Gaming.
Sunday, May 4th, 2008 at 11:55 amI went to Circuit City earlier today to pick up a new phone. I would not have a landline (or new a new phone) except that our alarm system requires ones, but I digress.
I also picked up the kids a couple of DS games - Pokemon Explorers of Time (I think … Good Lord, there […]
Weekend in sports …
Sunday, May 4th, 2008 at 8:12 amWhich is the bigger story?
Big Brown taking the 134 running of the Kentucky Derby from the Number 20 post?
The filly, Eight Belles, finishing second, only to be euthanized on the track right after the race?
Junior just barely missing out at Richmond?
The Hawks forcing a game seven against the mighty Celtics?
Unless Big Brown goes on to […]
Oil, Corn, Lead
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008 at 9:23 pmAll continue to go up, up, up. I had the opportunity to break out the Beeman R7 this afternoon for some fun plinking. Alas, no squirrels, but I do have a nice new setup from the half-bath window that should give me some quality shots from the comfort and convenience of the throne […]
No Metal Gear Online Beta
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008 at 2:00 pmI am not sure how Sony (or Konami) determines who should qualify for the beta program, but I was surprised that I did not “qualify” for a download code. Granted, I am not the world’s biggest online gaming fan, but over the years I have spent a crap load of money on games. And going […]
