We had a wonderful time while we were in Ireland. We saw lots of sites, went to lots of places, we drank a lot of beer. One of the other interesting things that we discovered was a new author (at least to us), Derek Landy. We saw his most recent book in pretty much every … More Derek Landy – the Skulduggery Man.
Well it’s that time of year again, the Stanley Cup playoffs are set to begin tonight. Once again I’ll take a look at the playoff matchups and make my predictions. While it’s sad my Sabres decided to take a vacation the last quarter of the season and not make the playoffs, there are some really … More Quest for the Cup!
I’ve begun doing some research for my upcoming trip to Dublin. We’re going to be spending a week there, and while most of the visit is pretty much a free-wheeling self tour of Dublin and the surrounding area, I thought I’d do a little bit of leg work to make sure that I don’t end … More Pre-Ireland Planning.
Many times in Buffalo when Lindy Ruff’s name is spoken, it is spoken with reverence. He brought a core of young players together, and over the past few seasons have really helped a lot of them to find their place. Sadly, just when things looked brightest injuries to every line slowed the momentum of the … More Slaughtering the Sacred Cow.

Hulu freed television from the model we have become familiar with. Where once a show would come on at a certain time on a certain day, broadcast … More Hulu – Good Seed Gone Bad.
While my first look at Windows 7 has been pretty positive I’ve found a couple issues not only in my own use of it, but in reading some experiences of others. It really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Microsoft is forcing some seriously restricting DRM with Windows 7. With a lot of … More A Windows 7 Follow-up.
Anyone who knows me is aware that I have very negative feelings towards our current Governor. In fact he is, without question, the worst governor in office since I’ve lived in the state of New York (since 1982). Of course there haven’t been many in that time and as NY has had some long standing … More New York: Further Destroying the Working Class
As I mentioned earlier I’ve began using a Windows machine for some day to day stuff as well as my trusty MacBook. I’ve been a Mac user for a great many years, and have also worked doing extensive support for them back when I was a professional geek. I’ve used Windows off and on that … More The Windows Experience
Having a problem with people trespassing on your land, vandalizing it, stealing things, and just generally causing a nuisance? Well whatever you do, don’t you dare actually try to detain them so that you can contact the proper authorities. Especially if those people are crossing the US/Mexican border illegally on to your land; they might … More Don’t You Dare Protect Your Land.
I figured the best place to start when it comes to getting my day to day life together was with a calendar. While it’s such a simple tool it is also an invaluable one, and one of the only task oriented tools that I’ve regularly used. Although my schedule is generally fairly open having an … More Today’s Word is Calendar!
