Happy Birthday, Hot Coffee

If you know what I’m talking about with this title, then you are a fan of video games and video game news. It was 5 years ago that the “hot coffee” code was discovered in Grand Theft Auto. I remember all the controversy it created back then, and it seems to have died down a [...]

10 day traffic jam

That is not a typo either. There is a traffic jam in northern China so bad that it it taking commuters 10 days to get through it. And I thought I had it bad when road construction near my home added about 5-10 minutes to my trip. I will never complain about my traffic issues [...]

Hurricane behavior

I have a hard time believing this one. Some scientists claim to have research that states that hurricanes are actually attracted in some way to cities and other land with rough formations. I’m sure the science behind it is very complex, but if this is true, then the same places would be hit year after [...]

Best Mob game ever

What are some of the best games that use the mob or mafia for their inspiration? Here are some of my selections and why. Good - Godfather the Game – EA went to the trouble to create an open world where you work your way through the plot and ranks of Francis Ford Coppola’s version of [...]

Fantasy Football

I’m not a huge fan of football, but I do enjoy watching the occasional game. As a result, I’ve heard of but never thought to get into fantasy football. And since no one ever took me aside to explain ti to me, I decided to do some research and see if I could find some [...]

Woods divorced

I knew this was coming, but there was a small part of me that was hoping they would find a way to work it out. I’m not saying Tiger should be excused or that Elin should have outright stayed, but when something like this happens, it’s just sad to watch it all fall apart.

9/11 churches

I find this a little interesting. There was a Greek Orthodox church destroyed in the terrorist attacks on 9/11 that city officials recently announced would not be rebuilt. Now, here’s the interesting correlation. There’s a Muslim mosque that is in debate, but the church is rejected outright. If we’re going to be fair, then dismiss [...]

Jaws 2

My wife saw her first Jaws movie last night. She’s never seen the original Jaws, but I’ve seen them all, so I knew what to expect from this first sequel. I used that to my advantage. When the shark was getting ready to make a surprise appearance, I made it a point to have my [...]

Favre back

Is anyone really surprised? I’m not a Vikings fan nor have I been a fan of any team Favre’s played for, but this whole soap opera that goes on every off season is bordering on insane. And if that isn’t enough, he’s getting a hefty raise. Statistically he is capable of playing, but commit to [...]

Twitter craze

Some people marvel that Twitter has not only survived but flourished since it debuted four years ago. I’m not surprised. Once I saw how businesses can use this as a tool to communicate with customers, I knew this fad would last longer than most.
