Wigan?!

The good news is, Liverpool had their marquee players back. Torres, Kuyt, Gerrard, and Benayoun were all there to attack. Sotirios Kyrgiakos made his first start in a month on defense, and even Glen Johnson showed up in the second half.
The bad news is, none of that mattered. They were out hustled and out scored [...]

Death on TV

Is it okay to knowingly broadcast somebody’s death on TV? I may be numb to most violence on TV, but something about showing an actual death just doesn’t sit well with me.
I read online today that Georgian Olympian Nodar Kumaritashvili died in a tragic Luge accident. He appears to have been going upwards of 90 [...]

New Site

The domain registration completed this morning, so I’ve been working on transferring files over and fixing broken links.
The blog is the only working subdomain so far, which means my aplastic anemia site still needs to be moved. And I haven’t re-pointed feedburner to my new RSS feed yet.

Champions League here we come!

Liverpool beat Landon Donovan and Everton today, 1-0. It was a pretty dirty match, with Everton thug and Belgian Afro Ambassador Marouane Fellaini getting most of the cheap shots in against Liverpool. He himself escaped a red card on a stretcher, keeping the game total down to only two.
Dirk Kuyt survived an early kick in [...]

Synergy

If you have more than one computer at your desk, then you need a free (open-source) piece of software called Synergy. It’s basically a keyboard and mouse server, so you can use the same keyboard and mouse on multiple computers, so long as the computers each have their own displays.
I have three computers across my [...]

Website Refresh

I’ll be making some major changes to the website over the next month.
The first piece is to transfer domain registration to a new host. I know when I’ll be submitting the transfer request, but it’s up to the domains to play nice with eachother on the handoff. So that could be a few days, and [...]

It’s been an up and down kind of week…

On Tuesday I had a car accident. I was rear-ended while waiting to make a left turn on my street. My headache from the accident is gone now, but close to $3000 in damage lingers on the back end of my Prius. The other insurance company is picking up the tab, so that’s good, but [...]

The Google phone cometh

As expected, Google announced today that they would start shipping their Nexus One, the latest in a string of ever advancing Android based smartphones.

You can get it unlocked for $529, or with T-Mo service for $179. Verizon and Vodaphone are also listed as options, but greyed out with “Spring 2010″ off to the right.
Am I [...]

Nobody eats ice cream in a bag

There is a TV channel I watch called Current TV. Think of it as like a YouTube for TV, since everything they play is created and submitted by viewers. Unlike YouTube, though, there is an approval process so only the better made or funnier submissions get on the air.
A while back they showed a video [...]

Google phone

I’ll admit it. Google could put poop in a box and slap their logo on it, and I’d probably blog about how great it was. So yeah, I’m biased.
But I like cell phones, and I like Google. How could I not be excited about the prospect of a Google Phone? Rumors have been floating around [...]
