Professional sports, MLB, NBA, and the NFL once followed what could be termed “the code”. It was nothing official or scribed, but it was closely followed. The code was this: “That out of fairness to all teams involved in a championship competition, any team opposing one of them shall extend itself to the fullest.” A [...]

Debt is a interesting thing. Ownership is a great thing. Today I purchased my first car, a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder, and put myself in some serious debt. However, it doesn’t upset me at all. Even though I locked myself to “the man“ for roughly 60 months, ownership is awesome. Ownership gives you a sense of [...]

2 nights ago I played Guitar Hero for the first time and let me say, it is worth the hype. I know I’m a little behind the “gamer” trend here and I know that it has been out for a while. However, this game is FUN! I felt a little Asian because I was pretty [...]

Forbes.com release its second annual top 25 Web celebs recently and the list is interesting.

“A solid working knowledge of productivity software and other IT tools has become a basic foundation for success in virtually any career… Beyond that, however, I don’t think you can overemphasise the importance of having a good background in maths and science… Communication skills and the ability to work well with different types of people [...]

Reading is the only way to get enough experience in one life time.  A few months ago I read A Long Way Gone – memoirs of a boy soldier  by Ismael Beah and it is one of those books that really makes you thankful for the life you’ve had.  Whether you were raised in upper, [...]

Here they are. These are the best and brightest web sites out there right now. What do they win? Nothing… but maybe they’ll get a few new visitors when this hits the presses. Check them out, and leave comments! Netvibes has become my homepage of choice as of late. It competes with iGoogle and PageFlakes [...]

People misuse phrases in the English language all the time.  For example when people mean to say that they don’t care, they say, “I could care less”. If you could care less than you are saying that you do care, not that you don’t.  If you have trouble with this saying here is a little [...]
