After a year, my music review section has returned. Here are three CDs I finished listening to thoroughly enough on my iPod to give some worthy judgments. Martha Wainwright – Martha Wainwright: Anyone expecting a female version of her more … Continue reading
NHL Schedule 2005-06
The new schedule for the NHL was released today and sadly, there will be no Dallas Stars v. Philadelphia Flyers match up this year, only me versus Jeremy Derr through my PS2. Not to lose all hope. I still can … Continue reading
Two years and counting!
On this day two years ago, Somara and I were married! A rather low-key ceremony in a suite at the Mirage in Las Vegas. This year isn’t very great in that we’re apart but who the heck knows what this … Continue reading
Farewell to Johnny Vermont
The lockout is finally over, 300+ days and one cancelled season later, the tightwad owners and their commish won. My team was the first to announce the casualties of the new economic order that the salary cap imposes. However, John … Continue reading

Fantastic Four not that Fantastic – by Jose
While I am not a fan of the comic book, I am somewhat familiar with the basic storyline. This movie appeared to be good from all the trailers, but in my opinion failed to deliver. It was all exposition of … Continue reading
Countdown to 5000
Way back in 2002 is when I started up KMAG from its modest beginnings of 2000 songs in a random rotation (it has some rules, but I’m not going into that) and my objective was to have playlist grow by … Continue reading

American Apparel
Yesterday when I arrived home from work, there was a package at the door. My annual order of $100-worth of T-shirts from American Apparel! When I stumbled upon these guys back in 2003 through Mother Jones or one of those … Continue reading
Real Chili surrogate figured out!
Back in Milwaukee, near the Marquette campus, there’s a little restaurant called Real Chili. It was pretty popular as an after hours place to eat since drinking too much can also give you the munchies. However, my friends and I … Continue reading
iTunes 4.9
Unless you’ve been under a rock, Podcasting is a trend that’s been going over the Internet for about a year now. My brother Brian did a couple for his (now defunct) comedy web site plus ex-MTV VJ Adam Curry embraced … Continue reading
Goodbye Panthers, Hello Coyotes
I got caught flat-footed on this news but I hadn’t been checking out the official AHL web site nor the Rampage’s or Coyotes’ lately. Hey, the season ended with the Philly Phantoms sweeping the Chicago Wolves which is why my … Continue reading
