From SVSU to Automattic
I started attending Saginaw Valley State University in 1998. A year and a half later, I got a job in the IT Services Support Center as a Student Technician. In 2002 I was hired as a Help Desk Analyst and graduated with my Bachelor’s a few months later. A little over a year ago I took a job as Microlab Technology Specialist. After nearly 10 years, Wednesday was my last day working for SVSU. (...)

WordPress Plugin: Comment Author URL Stripper
As promised, I’ve created a plugin which removes the URL from a comment author if it contains any of the words specified in the Options screen. Too many people have been leaving comments and putting in yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc. as their web site and I got tired of editing those comments all of the time. (...)

Headshot
While browsing through a friend’s photos from the holidays, I finally found one I liked. I did a quick crop and then a shitty job of fixing red eye. If you blow the photo up my eyes kind of look funny because one pupil is a very dark black and the other isn’t so dark. (...)
Remove Mac OS X System Preferences Pane
In Mac OS X, some applications will install as a System Preferences pane. You can’t drag these to the trash like most applications. So how do you get rid of them? Hold down the control key and click on the preference pane. This will display a menu with one option, Remove “Name of Application” Preference Pane. (...)

Simple Post WordPress Plugin
I’ve just released version 1.0 of my new Simple Post plugin for WordPress. The plugin allows you to create simpler post write screen. There are options to set the default category, ping status, and comment status, as well as autofill the title of the post with some text and date/time. You can also choose to display the tags and editor toolbar. (...)

My First WordPress Meetup
On Wednesday, I attended the 2008 MacWorld WordPress Meetup at Chaat Cafe. The first person I met was Andrew because I noticed a WordPress sticker on his laptop while we were in line ordering food. Shortly after we sat down, Matt walked in. I’ve been using WordPress since version 0.72 back in 2003, so it was nice to finally meet him. (...)

Anti-Glare Film Set for iPhone
The Anti-Glare Film Set from Power Support is a must have for iPhone owners. The regular price is $14.95, but I bought mine yesterday at the MacWorld Expo for $10 out-the-door. Two “films” come in the package. They are easy to remove, can be cleaned, and reused. The film isn’t sticky or “shrink wrapped” onto the phone like a lot of the screen covers. (...)

Series of Posts - Redesigning MtDewvirus 2007The New MtDewVirusSeparating Content TypesBetter Use Of Sidebars I really wanted a way to separate different parts of the web site, so by going with two sidebars on the new design, I have a lot of extra spots.

My schedule for the holidays this year is busier than usual. Friday - Party in Mount Pleasant with friends. Saturday - White elephant Christmas party at my sister’s house. Sunday - Christmas party with my Dad’s family. Monday - Christmas Eve at my parent’s house. Crab legs for dinner and gift exchange later. Tuesday - Christmas with my Mom’s family. (...)

Goodbye Twitter
Twitter is a web service to help answer the question What are you doing? The service was born in March of 2006 and I first used it in November of the same year. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to say goodbye to Twitter. Before Twitter existed I started using what most sites call asides as a way to post short little updates to my blog. I call these Quickies. (...)

Separating Content Types
Series of Posts - Redesigning MtDewvirus 2007The New MtDewVirusSeparating Content TypesBetter Use Of Sidebars One of the major goals for the 2007 redesign was separating the different types of content posted on the site. Over the years, post sizes have decreased. I’m not sure when, but once upon a time I implemented what are commonly called “Asides” as a type of short quick post. (...)

Getting Booted from DreamHost
Just received this email from DreamHost: I’m writing to regretfully inform you that we have decided to end our business relationship with you.

Integrating Twitter
I’ve been using Twitter more and more just because it’s so simple to post quick little updates. I just installed the Twitter Tools plugin which will create a daily post here at MDV from my Twitter Updates. These daily posts (if I have any Tweets that day) will go into the quickie category and make things easier on me. Hopefully it’ll help to keep some fresh content on the site. (...)

My iPhone
I didn’t get an iPhone on Friday, but the local AT&T store took a direct fulfillment order and I’ll get one before the store gets their next shipment. I got inline at 3:45 pm for the 6 pm sale of iPhones and I was #34 in line. The AT&T manager did a good of handling the line by taking everyone’s name, but when 6 pm rolled around the situation was horribly slow. (...)
I’m Awake At 5am On iDay, The Launch Of The iPhone
I’m going to go get in line at my local AT&T store to wait for an iPhone. Ok, so not really. I’m awake because of a combination of needing some pain pills for the dental work I had done yesterday morning and my sprinkler system woke me up as well. I have decided to get my hands on an iPhone tomorrow though. I won’t be crashing all night like these people. (...)

Unlock iPod Screen Lock If You Forget The 4 Digit Combination

Weird Google Error
I received a weird Google error page today after clicking on a search result. After typing in the word I was able to go the page I requested. Anyone else ever seen this before?

I Want An iPhone
The iPhone comes out this Friday, the 29th. I was at the MacWorld Expo keynote in January when Steve Jobs announced the revolutionary phone/iPod/Internet device and I was very excited to see it. I’ve thought about it quite a bit because my current Verizon contract isn’t up until February, so if I did get one, I’d have to pay nearly $200 to cancel my contract. What to do? (...)

Ocean’s 13
I really enjoyed Ocean’s Eleven when it came out and thought Ocean’s Twelve was good too. So when I saw Ocean’s 13 was next in line I knew I’d have to see it. Went last night with Tom because it was too damn hot to do anything else around the house or outside. We both enjoyed the movie and I’ll add it to my DVD collection when it comes out. (...)
2007 Tigers
I’ve been watching quite a few of the Detroit Tigers games this year and they’re a fun team to watch. With Kenny Rogers coming off the disabled list and starting a game on Friday, he’s already giving the Tiger pitching a much needed boost. Detroit has taken over first place in the division and has been on a roll, winning their last 7 games. (...)

Health Update
Quick update on my health, after the scary trip to the emergency room… I saw my family Doctor and he referred me to a neurologist. The neurologist figured it was either a really bad migraine or some type of “bug” in the brain. With the history of brain aneurysms in the family (grandparent on each side died from it), he wanted to do some tests to rule it out for me. (...)

I’m Losing 2 Teeth And Getting a Dental Implant
Doesn’t it sound like fun? I finally hooked up with a local dentist after visiting the one in my hometown for years. I’ve been having some problems on tooth #19 (lower back left area) and the decay is so bad it would be a miracle to save the tooth. (...)

Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich
“Pistol” Pete Maravich was the greatest college basketball player to ever play the game. The “Pistol” was a guard and he averaged over 40 points a game throughout college before there was ever a 3 point line. He had a great shot and actually made a lot of shots which would have easily been worth 3 points in today’s game. (...)

Home Improvements
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been busy with home improvements. First my Dad came down for a weekend and we did some odds and ends, but the big project was installing a ceiling fan/light in my bedroom. Previously there wasn’t a light in the room and with it being a pretty large room it was hard to see with just a corner lamp in the room. (...)

I Couldn’t Spell My Own Name
Nearly two weeks ago I had a very scary experience. The day was Wednesday, April 18th… 4:45pm I got home from work and changed my clothes. Did a couple of things around the house and changed into some comfortable clothes. 5:15pm Figured I would shoot some pool before working out. (...)

Horizontal vs. Vertical Space
I love my 50 inch LCD wide screen TV. I love my 13 inch wide screen MacBook. I just hooked up a 19 inch wide screen high definition display as my primary monitor at work and moved my normal 19 inch to a secondary monitor. I’m not quite sure I like the wide screen display. (...)

H&R Block Knows the Value of a Customer
I usually do my own taxes, but with the sale of pokerchiptricks.com and all of the other miscellaneous income from web sites this year, I was more than a little confused. I started with the free TaxCut federal version from H&R Block. Once I got to the part for State taxes, I went ahead and purchased the Michigan version for $24.95. My credit card ended up being charged twice for some reason. (...)

Fatblogging
A few months ago Jason Calacanis started a flatblogging revolution. He challenged bloggers to work on their health and fitness, writing about it along the way. Well, I’ve been working out consistently for over a year now and haven written about it in awhile. Back on February of last year, I wrote about my weight nearly hitting 200. (...)

Review: 300
I went to see 300 at an IMAX the week it came out. We drove from Saginaw all the way to Lansing one night after work, which put the total drive time around 3 hours. That’s a lot of driving to see a movie when I could have went 2 miles down the road from my house. Well…it was well worth it! 300 is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen, if not the greatest.

First Post of 2007
Wow, three months without a single post on the blog. That kind of sucks. I’ve had plenty of material to write about. Looking back through my calendar, here are a few highlights… January 5 — Bought a house. January 7-12 — Attended MacWorld in San Francisco, CA. Rest of January — Cleaning, removing wallpaper, painting, and moving. (...)

“Share This” Icon Concept
In response to Alex’s posts (Concept #1 and Concept #2), I decided to whip up an idea. It uses the little waves from the RSS icon, but what logos these days aren’t? (XM, Engadget, etc.) My concept is pretty rough around the edges and was quick work in Photoshop. I’m no expert, so remember this is a concept and just another idea to think about. (...)

Detroit Tigers - 2006 World Series
After sweeping the Oakland Athletics in the ALCS the Detroit Tigers are headed to the World Series for the first time in 22 years. The Tigers are a team with 12 losing seasons in a row coming into this year and nobody gave them a chance. Jim Leyland and his “Cardiac Cats” have proved everyone wrong. (...)

Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition and Xbox 360
Over the past few days I installed Windows Media Center Edition on my PC and configured it to connect to my Xbox 360. Let me tell you, this is one slick system for streaming media to your TV. The Xbox 360 works as an extender for the Media Center and can be set to access any of the pictures, music, or videos you have on your computer. (...)

I’m Healthy: My Fitness and Diet Journey
Back in February, I made a decision to change my life. My weight was up to 199.5 pounds and I wasn’t happy. I had never tipped the scales at over 200 and didn’t plan on seeing if I could do it. I started exercising on a regular basis and eating completely different. In a little over 3 months I lost 20 pounds. (...)

Michigan is Excited about the Detroit Tigers
The state of Michigan is excited about baseball for the first time in over a decade. Everywhere I go people are talking about the Detroit Tigers. In fact, just like night at Hooters I was wearing a Tigers hat and a random guy asked me if they were going to win game 1 of the ALCS against the Oakland Athletics. When two random people strike up a conversation you know there is excitement in the air. (...)

Dad Shot a Nice 8 Point Whitetail

Fall TV Choices
Fall brings the start of nasty weather to Michigan. Temperature drops, thunderstorms, and the scraping of windshields in the morning are some of the more unpleasant signs of fall we get to experience. This all means more time spent inside the house. It’s a good thing the TV stations start all of their new seasons at this same time. (...)

I Write When I Want To
We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to. W. Somerset Maugham Maugham obviously had never heard of blogs when he made the above quote. I haven’t made a post here at MDV since August 2nd. I’ve had plenty to write about, but just haven’t felt like it. And guess what, I’m fine with that. It’s my blog. I write when I want to. (...)

I Need Time for a Redesign
I didn’t mean for that post title to rhyme, but it did and I’m not changing it. I’ve wanted to pump out a redesign of MDV for a long time now.

Microsoft’s Zune Project
The big news from Microsoft today was the confirmation of the Zune project. Just do a few searches and you’ll find plenty of information. I’m not writing about it to give any information or what it’s about. All I want to say is, don’t count them out. Can Microsoft create a real competitor for Apple’s iPod? Only time will tell. (...)

Review: Gillette Fusion Power
On the recommendation of my friend Casey I bought the Gillette Fusion Power about a month ago. This razor is a work of art. Shaving has always been one of my least favorite things to do, but the Fusion Power is literally “changing the face of shaving.” Your first reaction might be that five blades is a bit of overkill, but it feels great on your skin.

Review: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
I enjoyed the original The Fast and the Furious, but thought 2 Fast 2 Furious was a bit far-fetched, especially the end scene with the boat landing on the yacht. So going into the third movie, Tokyo Drift, I wasn’t sure what to expect, which is exactly the reason I waited until the movie hit the cheap seats and I could see it for $2.25. (...)

Review: Superman Returns
I saw Superman Returns on opening night and am finally getting around to a review. The movie was up to my expectations going in. There was a good story and a lot of action. The length of the movie was a bit long and I thought a few parts could have been cut out to make it shorter without losing any of the plot. (...)

Hitting the Wall
Back in my younger days I ran quite a bit. I might have even enjoyed it once in awhile. During 8th grade and my freshmen year of high school I ran cross country. We had some fun during practices, but I can’t really say that I enjoyed the running aspect of the sport. I ran the distance events during my freshmen year of high school and just hated it. (...)

New postings have been few and far between here at MDV for the past few months and especially during the last month. I’ve been extremely busy and having a lot of fun.

Over the past couple of months I had mentioned a big secret I was planning to let out of the bag. Well, the announcement is nearly a month after the deal was completed, but it’s out.

24/365

If It Ain’t Rough, It Ain’t Right
The Detroit Pistons once again showed their toughness last night, winning game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Miami Heat still hold a lead in the series at 3-2, but the pressure is now on them to win game 6 on their home court. Everyone knows the Miami doesn’t want to end up in a game 7 back at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Detroit doesn’t lose in those types of games at home. (...)

I’d Rather Be Home Playing WOW
Overheard on Friday night in the movie theater as The Da Vinci Code was about to begin… I’m not even excited for this movie anymore. I should just go home and play WOW. “Wow” is right.

Trying Tennis
This weekend when my friend Mo was in town I tried out tennis for the first time. Mo is a pretty good tennis player (or at least that’s what he tells everyone) so I figured he could give me a few pointers, teach me the game, and give me a few tennis tips. It was only my first time on the court so I wasn’t expecting much, but I don’t think I did too bad. (...)

Review: United 93
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 hijacked plane not to reach its target that day. (...)

Detroit Tigers Game
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 innings. (...)

New Blades
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.

Feeding Readers With a Feed Reader
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.

Another Crash
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 path yesterday and when I came to the turn-around at one end I didn’t slow down much. (...)

Enjoying the Weather Among Other Things
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 all a good thing. (...)

ESPN Insider
Does anyone really pay for an ESPN Insider subscription? More and more articles and features are being flagged with the little IN icon at ESPN.com and it’s pissing me off. As if I don’t pay enough to get their stations on cable, they want me to pay to read their web site now. I refuse. (...)

I’m enjoying eating a healthy diet for the first time in my life and it really does make a difference. (...)

Hamachi

Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. (...)

Who Needs Sleep?
I do. I’ve had problems sleeping for years and finally decided to do something about it. I visited a Doctor last week and was sent to a sleep clinic.

My results didn’t show any major problems like sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome, so that’s good. I guess. (...)

Self Improvement
I’ve written about being satisfied before and some of my recent posts have hinted at at the fact that I’m not satisfied with myself. In the last couple of weeks I’ve started more changes in my life than at any other time. I’ve attempted to make similar self improvements before and always ended up reverting to my old ways. This time is much different. (...)

Get Fit
Two weeks ago my weight topped out at 197 pounds. Right then I knew it was time for some changes. I’d hit 195 before, but for some reason the 7 on the end affected me a lot more. It’s only 3 pounds away from 200, which I never hope to hit, even in my later years. I sure as hell didn’t want to hit 200 at 26! I bought a Pro-Form Elliptical 130 XP last week as a first step.

Super Sunday
More like shitty as far as the Super Bowl went. I didn’t see the National Anthem, but I heard it from the other room and I swear my ears started to bleed. The refs continued their string of horrible calls in the 2006 playoffs by screwing Seattle out of a touchdown that anyone could see was not offensive pass interference. (...)

Xylitol Helps With Tooth Decay
Ever heard of Xylitol? It’s a natural sweetener which has shown very promising results in the area of tooth decay. Xylitol helps to prevent tooth decay and has even been shown to reverse some decay. I learned about it at my dentist’s office the past two times I’ve had my teeth cleaned, but finally got around to looking it up the other day. For more info check out Xylitol.Org. (...)

Ahhhh
Where to start? It’s been nearly a month since the last post here at MtDewVirus. That has to be a record since the blog started over two years ago. The lack of posts hasn’t been because of a lack of activity, because plenty has been going on in my life and the world around me. I simply needed some time away from blogging. (...)
Merry New Birthday
It’s been awhile. Too long. The last post I made was December 16th, which I believe is the longest period without activity since the blog launched over two years ago. I’ve missed Christmas, my 26th birthday (12/26), and the New Year. I even missed the 2 year anniversary of MtDewVirus, which would have been on November 22nd. (...)

Out of Office
Just looking at the calendar I counted out of the next 21 weekdays I’ll only be at work for 7.5 of them. I love this time of year! Our holiday break starts at noon on December 22nd and we’re back to work on January 3rd. On the 8th of January I fly out to San Francisco for MacWorld and will return on the 14th after a nice 7 hour layover in Las Vegas. (...)

Verizon Gets the RAZR…and So Will I
When I read Verizon is getting the Motorola RAZR I just about jumped out of my chair. It’s such a sweet looking phone and I’ve wanted one since it first came out. I’ve had great performance out of the Kyocera SE 47 Slider, but I’m ready for a change. With Verizon’s New Every Two play I can get a new phone and contract the first part of February. (...)

San Francisco Treat
I’ll be attending Macworld the 2nd week of January with Dave. I’ve been helping out with Mac support at work and this will be my training for the year. I’ve wanted to check out San Fran for quite some time, so I’m excited to go. Hopefully I don’t come home as a switcher, because I hate to say it, but I love Windows. I can’t wait to see what SF has to offer. (...)

A Sporting Thanksgiving
As posted previously, I attended a few professional sports events over the Thanksgiving holiday. Last Wednesday (Nov. 23) my parents left Rogers City bright and early. I’m not sure why they came down so early, but I wasn’t too happy that they interrupted my Xbox 360 time since I had just hooked it up the night before. (...)

Missing but not Lost
I’ve been absent from this here blog lately and the trend will continue for at least a few more days. I going to three games the next three days and my Xbox 360 arrived yesterday. That doesn’t leave much time for blogging and surfing the Internet. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! (...)

Wings, Lions, and Pistons
My Dad, brother, and I were planning on getting some tickets for the Lions Thanksgiving game this year, so I’ve been keeping an eye on eBay. It looked like it was going to be at least $300 for 3 tickets to the game, and those aren’t even for the good seats. Yesterday I found a dream come true. There was an auction selling 3 tickets to the Detroit Red Wings vs. (...)

Microsoft Xbox 360 Is Ordered
I just pre-ordered a Microsoft Xbox 360 through a special Reward Zone offer with Best Buy. I went all the way getting the Full bundle which includes the hard drive, wireless controller, extra wireless controller, wireless charging system, Madden 06 game, Gotham Racing game. I wasn’t planning on spending so much, but you only live once right? (...)

Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones
I bought a set of these Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones on eBay and they came yesterday. They are definitely worth the price for the quality that you receive. I think I paid less than $30 after shipping costs are included. They fit great in the ears and have two additional sizes of attachments if your ears are larger or smaller than average. (...)

If You Had All of the Money in the World
If you had all of the money in the world what would you do? Before you answer, understand it’s not a question about money. The average person must work 40 hours a week to make ends meet. If you had all of the money in the world you wouldn’t have to work that much. You could do whatever you wanted. So what would you do? (...)

Red Wings Can’t Be Beat
I haven’t watched any Red Wings hockey games yet this year, but I’ve been following the scores. They’re 12-1-0 which puts them 6 points ahead of the 2nd best team in the NHL!! They have 24 points which is 33% more than 2nd best Vancouver with 18. Everyone thought it would be a down year for the Wings. Quite the opposite. (...)

I Wonder
I wonder… Will I ever escape the Matrix? How old will I be before I stop playing video games? Do the houses used in the Real World have light switches? They never seem to be in the dark. Ever! How old will I be before I lose my hair and start to shave my head? When will we get the first woman president? How do babies survive and grow on only milk? Any answers? What do you wonder? (...)
Excited About the Future
I have a renewed excitement about the future lately and it’s all due to working out. I have more energy and I feel better about myself on both physical and mental levels. I’m getting more accomplished with my free time because I’m organized and I finally feel myself moving forward towards some of my goals. I’ve been stuck in the mud for too long. (...)

My Teeth Fell Out
Last night I had a dream I’ve had once before. Something was loose in my mouth so I reached in and a back tooth fell out. Then all of my teeth started to fall out. Talk about freaking out! During the dream though I remember thinking it was just a dream, but then it was reality. Boy was I glad to wake up from the nightmare and realize it was just a dream. (...)

Gettings Things Done
Post frequency has been low at MDV recently because I’ve been getting a lot done, and no I don’t need a book to teach me how to be productive with my time. I use my own system. The biggest helper in this whole process has been Basecamp, an online project and task management service. I’m using the free account and it does a fine job for what I need it to do. (...)

Simple Air Fresheners For Men
Face it guys, your shit does stink. Not like roses either, so who are you fooling if you buy one of those cans of air freshener? I have a cheap, but effective replacement for air fresheners. Actually it’s a trick from my friend Casey. Buy a box of wooden matches to keep in the bathroom. After you do the deed strike up a match or two and the stink is burnt right up. (...)

It’s a monumental day in my life because now I’m debt free. My student loans were paid off a few months ago and now my auto loan is done with. Writing a big check never felt better! (...)
Video on the iPod Will Flop
I just don’t get Apple’s newest iPod release. Do they really think that many people are going to want to watch video on a 2.5 inch screen? The other aspects of the new iPod are great, but I don’t understand the ability to watch video. How many times can you watch the same music videos? Do you really want to watch music videos on that tiny screen? I know I don’t. (...)

A 2nd Job
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately with blogs. In the last few weeks, I’ve launched two new sites, NICKED Up and Primary Rough. This has taken up a lot of my free time and will continue to do so. I have another site or two on the way. As I launch more sites some of the types of posts usually found here will be on the other sites. (...)
Cable TV Upgrades
Yesterday a couple of guys from Charter Communications came by to upgrade my cable TV. I now have DTV, DVR, and HDTV. So far it’s been great and bad. Good news first. I’m not quite sure how I’ve lived so long without some type of DVR. I’ve already recorded several movies I want to see, but never got around to renting. (...)

How to Please Your I.T. Department
While working for the Support Center of a University I’ve run into a lot of these… When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children’s art. We don’t have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours. (...)

Favorite TV Show Ever
Earlier today I overheard this walking by one of the student lounges… I don’t know how anyone can concentrate when the Price is Right is on. It’s the best show ever. So it got me thinking, what is my favorite TV show of all-time. I think I’d have to go with MacGyver. I loved watching that show. (...)

iPod nano Lockup Reset When Frozen
My iPod nano locked up and I had no idea what to do. Holding down buttons wouldn’t turn it off. Toggling the hold switch didn’t do anything either. It was in a stuck state where hold was turned on and none of the buttons would respond. If you own an iPod with the Click Wheel (iPod with video, nano, iPod photo, iPod, or mini) follow these steps to reset the iPod: Toggle hold switch on. (...)

Football Replay Systems
Each weekend, millions of people tune in to watch college and NFL football. The game of football is played at a fast pace with referees making crucial decisions about penalties, ball spots, turnovers, and scores. There isn’t a human being in the world who can make these split-second decisions without making a mistake now and then. In come the replay systems. (...)

Review: Crash
Movies like Crash are what keep me watching different movies all the time. This is not your typical movie where good guys win over bad guys and we have a happy ending. Crash is a modern day tale of morality. The entire movie is based on racism in the lives of people from different backgrounds and how they come into contact with one another. (...)

I Wonder
I’ve decided to take the first “I Wonder” post and make it into the I Wonder Series. I’ll add things into a saved post and when I have enough I’ll post it. I think I come up with plenty of random thoughts to keep this going on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. (...)
Good Service
When I go out to eat I expect good service from my waiter/waitress. You don’t have to be over the top, but I don’t want to feel neglected. I expect a fresh drink when my glass is full. Bring the check after we’re done eating or if we’re taking a really long time at least ask if we’d like our check at that point. (...)

Review: Catch Me If You Can
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, but way back when I first saw previews and clips for Catch Me If You Can, I was interested to see the movie. I thought the movie was a good fit for Leonardo and I actually enjoyed his acting. The role was a good one for him. He seemed to work well with Tom Hanks, who played a good part too. (...)

Review: iPod nano
Most of my friends had iPods. I didn’t. I didn’t want to haul around the mp3 playing brick. I was holding out for something smaller. I was excited when the iPod Mini came out, but still wasn’t too impressed. Around the 1st of September I read a press release explaining that Apple would be making a big announcement on the 7th.

Sucky Sake
On Saturday I went out to Genji’s, the local Japanese steakhouse. I’ve been to one other Japanese steakhouse, but it was at least 10 years ago in Florida. It was great food back then and great food this weekend. Since we were out celebrating a friend’s birthday, we got a round (which actually turned out to be enough for 2 rounds) of Sake. (...)
Mouse Trap
This is circulating through email, but I figured it needed a more permanent place on the web. Apparently this was an actual printer jam at John Deere Seeding. The mouse did not die, but he sure was in shock! Click the images for larger sizes. HELP!! (...)
I Wonder
I always have random thoughts running through my mind, so I thought I’d share a few of them I’ve had lately… Why is your list of criminal offenses called a “rap sheet”? When we fold our hands, is it based on our dominant hand? I’m right-handed and I fold my hands with my right thumb on top. Which pant leg to people tend to put on first? (...)
Rate The Stuff
Mo launched Rate The Stuff earlier this week. It’ll be interesting to see how the Yahoo ads do on the new site because each page will be so specific to a product. Early on, the ads are very focused, so my guess is that it’ll be a hit. Will RTS be able to survive with so many other review sites out there from the big blog networks? Time will tell. (...)

I Hate Seagulls
I’m also starting to feel the same way about Steven Seagal. I’ve been a long time fan of Seagal. It all started when I watched Under Siege with my Dad as a kid. After that I saw every Seagal movie that came out. But over the past 5 years or so (since Under Siege 2: Dark Territory), the only decent movie he’s been a part of was Exit Wounds. (...)

iPod Size Comparison

Review: The Killers - Hot Fuss [LIMITED EDITION]
Just last week The Killers won the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist. I’ve heard 3 of their songs on XM Radio over the last few weeks and really enjoyed the music, so I decided to buy the CD. Their most popular songs (with # from the CD) are: 2. Mr. Brightside 4. Somebody Told Me 5. (...)

Labor Day Weekend 2005
I had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend. On Friday night I went to The Dukes of Hazzard with my buddy Mo. Saturday morning I woke up early and drove down to Sterling Heights to hang out with a couple good friends, Lindsay and Jere. We went out golfing (shot a 44), watched the Michigan game, went out for burgers and beer, and then had a few at night. (...)

Review: The Dukes of Hazzard
The Dukes of Hazzard (Unrated Widescreen Edition)I remember watching the TV series all of the time as a kid. The Dukes and the General Lee were my heroes because they always saved the day. When I first heard a movie was coming out I was excited. I was even more excited when I saw the cast. (...)

Review: After the Sunset
When renting a few movies last week I was asked if I wanted to grab a $1 rental for free. I turned around and After the Sunset was the first DVD I spotted, so I took it. The free movie turned out to be better than the two new releases which cost $2.50 each. I’ve always liked Pierce Brosnan movies and this was no different. (...)

Review: The Ring Two
I really liked The Ring when it came out in theaters, but The Ring Two is horrible. The story gets all twisted and doesn’t make much sense. This is a case where the producers should have stopped after one film. For a what was supposed to be a scary movie, TR2 was a letdown. I only jumped during one scene and it didn’t even fit in with the story. (...)

Review: Sin City
Quentin Tarantino comes along as a special guest director for Sin City. The movie definitely has a Tarantino feel to it. It’s unlike any other movie you’ve ever seen. Looking at IMDb I noticed that Sin City 2 and Sin City 3 are planned for the future. It’ll be interesting to see how each movie follows along after the first. (...)

I’m Back
It’s been over a week since I posted. I had a great time on my golf trip, but I’ve been busy since I came back. I’m still tired out and my back is sore each morning when I crawl out of bed. I haven’t played golf since the trip and I doubt I will for at least another week…I’m all golfed out. 108 holes and 30 hours of sun over 3 days will do that to a person. (...)
Review: Into The Sun
Over the past few years, Steven Seagal’s movies have sucked. I’ve been a fan of his movies ever since I saw Under Siege, but with his recent lack of hits he is not even in my top five list of favorite actors anymore. With that said, Into the Sun was actually a decent movie. Some of the other Seagal movies I’ve seen in the last two or three years have been downright horrible. (...)

Review: Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
I’m not the biggest fan on stupid comedy movies, but Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle was pretty good. John Cho and Kal Penn worked well together to make this film. The entire film revolves around the characters of Harold and Kumar. One night after getting stoned, they get the munchies. A commercial for White Castle appears on TV and they’re off to satisfy their hunger. (...)

I’ll be playing 18 at Little Traverse Bay Golf Club in Harbor Springs on Saturday and then off to Boyne Mountain for a few days to play the Alpine and Monument. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are the heart of the trip, which we call the Hackers/Whackers McDuff Open. (...)

I was out of town for a long weekend and I’ve been very busy since I came back, so that’s why I haven’t posted in a week or so.

I had more fun over those couple of days than I’ve had in a long time. (...)

Review: Million Dollar Baby
One of the best movies I’ve seen in quite some time. Million Dollar Baby deserves every award it won last year. Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Hilary Swank put on one hell of a performance for this one. The movie teaches a great lesson about life…even when it appears as if we’ve lost, sometimes we’ve achieved our wildest dreams. (...)

Review: Deception Point
Dan Brown wrote another great book with Deception Point. I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading it and ended up finished all 550+ pages in a few days. That’s pretty good for me. I’d have to say that this is my second favorite (to The Da Vinci Code) book by Brown. (...)

7 Times
I just finished watching Lance Armstrong win his 7th Tour de France in a row. In my opinion, the TdF is the most difficult sporting competition in the world and Armstrong is the greatest athlete of our time. Winning this race seven times in a row was unthinkable. Lance did it after surviving cancer, which makes it even more remarkable. It is quite possibly the greatest sporting record of all-time. (...)

Not Wearing Yellow Anymore
Yesterday I took off my LiveSTRONG band for the first time in over a year. I’ve shown my support and did my time. The band was starting to annoy me a bit, so I decided to take it off and won’t be wearing it anymore. I managed to shoot a 39 last night golfing, which is my best round of the year. C
