Don’t beat up the Backbeat

Checking the ol’ aggregator this morning, I was hit with this piece of what I thought was bad news, at least for me, from the Evil Genius Chronicles Clambake and Weblog. I thought, “After all Dave’s postings and spirited dialogues about ’sticking it to the man’, he’s becoming the man.” Reading Dave’s admittedly well-written [...]

Slipper Socks update

On reading the label on my new slipper socks, they are Acorn Slipper Socks. I discover that they have been worn by US Astronauts since 1982. Says it right there on the label. My particular model looks like these right here. And, per the website, and the label on the socks, they are [...]

Clothing misfire

As noted earlier, it’s a balmy 65o here. Thankskgiving night, a bone-shattering 19o. So that night, I ordered some nice wool socks, with the warm insulated feet, from QVC. Slipper socks, I think they’re called. Guess what arrived tonight?

Weather Wierdness

As I get home from another day of staring into the monitor, it’s 65o here, with flashes of lightning, light rain. There is a tornado watch in effect until 0100 tomorrow. Might have to tune the race scanner to the National Weather Service for a bit. If we don’t experience all 4 [...]

Prison Break Break

Well, I guess FOX considered last night’s Prison Break more than our old hearts could stand. Last night marked the “mid-Season Finale” episode. It returns in all its suspenseful glory in March, where it’ll doubtless be scheduled concurrently with an NCAA basketball game that I’ve gotta see. We will keep the [...]

Prison Break Monday

My pick for best new TV show of the season is Prison Break on FOX. I especially like that they typically show a rerun of last week’s episode in the 8-9 PM EST timeslot, prior to airing the current episode at 9 PM. They’re still selling ads, fans can catch up if they missed last [...]

Interweb Public Service Sunday

Well, I was all fired up earlier. I was prepared to offer incisive comments about PJM/OSM/Web 2.0/Tag Clouds/web.i.lic.i.o.us, but Scott, aka The Fat Guy, in far fewer, and much nicer words, sums it up nicely. And this little gem answers for me the “why do you do it?” question:
As far as monetizing [...]

And I’m gridiron bound

With NASCAR being done for the year, and NCAA hoops not rolling steadily yet, all I got is the NFL. First, hats off to the Kansas City Chieves1, on their win today vs New England. Usually out of the picture by Halloween, the Chieves are giving us AFC West fans some good moments.
And, [...]

Fum-BLE!

When I made last night’s post about Keith Jackson, I thought he had retired from broadcasting. In fact, I was pretty sure that I had heard his farewell broadcast, and I had. According to this, Keith came out of retirement to do a more limited schedule of games which generally involve teams from [...]

Whoooah, Nellie!

Isn’t it great to see and hear Keith Jackson back in ABC’s College Football broadcast booth? I think it is.
