The Doctor is In
I generally don't get political here, but I ran a cross a great story about a program at the University of Washington's medical school. A friend works there and passed…
Spoiled Rotten
I love when two of my favorite things come together – peanut butter and jelly, chicken wings and beer, television and the Internet.
That last one has brought good and bad things lately. The good part involves my discovery of Hulu.
For the uninitiated, Hulu is a website where you can find full episodes of many television shows, mostly from NBC and Comedy Central. Since I generally eat lunch at my desk now, this service has made me very happy.
The Real Problem with Facebook
The discussion of the changes at Facebook have pretty much run their course, in my opinion. Yeah, the new look has problems. Yeah, they should just leave a good thing…

I have written about Delaware's gambling proposal a few times. As you can probably tell, the prospect of sports wagering just a few hours from my house sounds like a…

Drive Time
I know this might not sound too popular these days what with people trying to save money and find different ways to protect the environment, but I realized something last week.
I love to drive. This is not really a new revelation. Because I commute down to Baltimore for work, I have understood my appreciation for driving for a long time.
I do feel a bit of guilt with pollution and all that, but when I tune in some good music and settle in for the trip, all that fades to the back of my mind.
Now This is Some Bull
My daughter told me something last night that i simply could not believe. Daylight Savings Time starts on Sunday. Yep. The new law from last year or whenever pushed the…

As the new year approaches, people should have many reasons to get exicted. A new president will take office. The Baltimore Orioles will find new and interesting ways to ruin…
Only Five Christmas Specials Exist
A terrible, terrible thing happened on television last night. I didn’t see this tragedy when I wrote this, but I know it did not turn out well.
One of the cable networks presented a show called “A Miser Brothers’ Christmas” or something like that. They dedicated 60 minutes to this brand-new program which never should have seen the light of day.
How do I know this without watching the show? It’s simple. There are only five real animated Christmas specials for television.
I don’t know why the people running television don’t understand this, but I guess I should be used to it by now. They never listen to the other perfect ideas I have to enhance the experience for viewers across the nation.
We don’t need a show to tell us how the Miser Brothers – you know them, Heat and Snow – finally patch up their differences to help an injured Santa deliver all the presents for Christmas.
I know we don’t need a show to tell us that because Santa doesn’t get injured in any of the classic Christmas stories so why make up an injury for the old fella now? That’s just unnecessary.
We do know that Santa can be a bit of a jerk to a reindeer that looks a little different than the rest of the herd. We learned that in Rudolph, one of the Fab Five shows.
