I blogged back in August about the cool Live Search Olympics backgrounds that they used on their home page at: http://www.live.com However, I had to write about the feature again since the Live Search really pulled at my heart strings with the background image that they had up there today. Oh, how it made my…
Okay, this is probably dating myself but watching the Celtics-Lakers game tonight actually gave me flashbacks to my childhood when the rivalry between Bird/McHale/Parrish and Magic/Worthy/Kareem was the stuff of legends. Check out the first 2 minutes of this teaser from 1984 if you don’t know what I am talking about. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6XroCc66Eo&hl=en] The only problem…
With football season coming up, you will probably hear a lot of positive thoughts about Philadelphia sports on this space. For that reason, I wanted to make sure that you all understand where I am coming from as a Philadelphia sports fan…. Below is an article from Sports Illustrated called: 100 seasons … 100 Heartbreaks…
One of my best friends and roommates at Georgetown grew up in Bellingham, WA and skiied Mt. Baker as his home mountain. In comparison, the majority of my experiences took place in the relatively tranquil parts of the Poconos and Vermont. When my roommate got talking about skiing, he used to regale us with stories…

I know I am probably beating a dead horse with my excitement over snow in Aspen but then I saw the snow report from this past weekend and the picture below and how could you now be happy???
Every few years, my father, brother, and I take a big trip somewhere cool. In recent trips, it has been primarily golfing. We went to Ireland in 2002 and to Scotland in 2006. However, next year we are headed to Alaska on a fly-fishing adventure to the Rapids Camp Lodge. While I have only been…
This morning, I saw a video on CNN this morning of surfers riding some great waves off the coast of Long Island, NY. I sent my brother an email asking if our brother-in-law had gotten out there to test his skills. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to due to timing, but he sent me a picture…
While I am not surprised about the popularity of the Chinese Olympics, the number of people that hit the site seems crazy. Bummer for Ticketmaster and for the people that couldn’t get on. Eight million hits and 200,000 orders per second overwhelmed the technical system, Chinese news site Xinhua reported. Link to the article Technorati…
