This year will be the 5th anniversary of the tragedies which occurred on September 11, 2001. No one living in the United States can say they’ve forgotten what happened on 9/11, but it’s far enough in the past where a movie could be released about the event. United 93 is the story of the only [...]

Detroit Tigers Game
April 30, 2006 – 6:26 pm
Yesterday I went to see the Detroit Tigers play the Minnesota Twins at Comerica Park. The Tigers came away the winners by a final score of 18-1. Out of the eight innings the came up to the plate, Detroit scored in seven of those with a home run coming in each of the first four [...]
New Blades
April 28, 2006 – 8:27 am
I bought a new pair of rollerblades earlier in the week. After a very short decision period I decided to go with the Rollerblade Astro 7 because I like to go all-out when I’m blading for a workout. The Astro 7 model has a larger wheel size and better ball bearings, which make the wheels [...]

Mark Wukoman, a Milwaukee-area bowler, bowled three consecutive 300 games for a 900 series. That’s 36 strikes in a row!

Keith Jackson is calling it quits at the age of 77. College football will miss him.
Drop the WWW
April 27, 2006 – 7:57 am
Isn’t it time everyone drop the www? Or at least stop requiring it for your site to work. All of my sites work if you type in www.domain.com or simply domain.com. In fact, if you type in the www, I have the .htaccess files set to send a redirect. Try it out…you won’t get to [...]
Darren McCarty Filed for Bankruptcy
April 26, 2006 – 10:29 am
On New Year’s of 2005 I played poker with professional hockey played Darren McCarty. It was great and he was a great guy. I had mixed feeling when I heard he had recently filed for bankruptcy, but after reading the article I’m glad to learn that a small portion of his debt is from gambling.
Nike Dri-Fit
April 26, 2006 – 8:19 am
Have you ever wore any of Nike’s Dri-Fit clothing line? Last year I bought a few of their golf polo shirts and loved them. The shirts keep you cool and it’s really unbelievable how much they do with your sweat. It actually feels like you’re sweating less when wearing Dri-Fit apparel, but instead the clothes [...]
50 Isn't So Bad
April 26, 2006 – 7:40 am
Yesterday’s weather turned out to be decent for 50 degrees. The wind was almost non-existent and the sun was shining. I ended up only having to wear a light pullover in addition to my work pants and polo.
I started off the round with a good drive in the fairway, which is rare, but missed the [...]
Interesting Site Ideas
April 25, 2006 – 10:29 am
Some of the ideas people come up with to make money from web sites is always interesting to me. Some of my favorite off the wall ideas in the past year or two were Save Toby and Million Dollar Homepage. My friend Jere recently sent me a link to Husband on Strike and I happened [...]
The Big Break…A Big Deal?
April 25, 2006 – 9:57 am
The Golf Channel’s Big Break series is now on Big Break V and I can say I’ve never watched a single episode of any of the five series. Is it anything special? Am I missing out on some good golf TV?
I’ve caught a glimpse here are there for a few minutes as I was flipping [...]
High of 50
April 25, 2006 – 9:35 am
Tonight is the 2nd week of my golf league and the weather is calling for a high of 50 degrees today, which should make golfing real enjoyable. I’ll be layering up with a sweatshirt over my work clothes and then my rain gear/wind breaker and pants over the top of that. I might even wear [...]
Feeding Readers With a Feed Reader
April 24, 2006 – 9:55 am
I’ve been using FeedLounge as my feed reading service since I was accepted into their alpha (or was it beta) phase months ago. It’s a great service and I was happy with it. When they came out of alpha and beta tests I was given 2 free months of service. That went by and I [...]
Another Crash
April 23, 2006 – 9:33 pm
Yesterday I managed to crash again while out biking. The last time was in June of 2004, so I guess I was due for some injuries.
This crash was all my fault unlike the last time when my bike slipped on a wet root out in the woods. I was cruising along down a paved bike [...]
Enjoying the Weather Among Other Things
April 21, 2006 – 10:18 am
I’ve been enjoying the weather for the past several weeks which means spending less and less time on the computer. That also means less time for blogging and less updates here as well as my other blogs. I’ve also cut back on my poker playing dramatically which takes away computer time as well. This is [...]
I'm Off to a Hot Start
April 21, 2006 – 10:03 am
I’m off to a hot start with my golf this year. I’ve golfed in March for the first time in my life and I’ve already played more rounds this year than I had last year a this time in May. I shot a 37 (+2) the other night which is the 2nd best score of [...]
Tiger's Break
April 21, 2006 – 9:51 am
I was glad to read that Tiger is taking a break to spend time with his father. From all the reports it doesn’t look like his dad is going to last much longer and I know if I was in his position I’d want to get as much time with my dad as I could. [...]
No Poker = More Fun
April 21, 2006 – 9:48 am
In the past two weeks or so I’ve played poker once. It was a 6 person SNG on Party and I bowed out 4th if I remember correctly. I’m not missing the game and my overall attitude has been a lot better because I haven’t been playing. Poker can drain the life out of you…or [...]

I need to give ClipX a try. It’s a clipboard history manager for Windows.
