Happy 80th Birthday Gordie Howe!

Posted on March 31, 2008 by Steve

Mr. Hockey himself! The picture is from the day before because I suppose the Red Wings didn’t play today. One thing I did learn from Wikipedia about him today was that despite Gretzky surpassing his record on goals and points … Continue reading →

Sure the Austin Icebats were eliminated from the playoffs last week with a 1-0 defeat in Odessa. But as I stated, I scored some decent highlights/features of their only game in Austin, which they won in overtime. Tomorrow night though … Continue reading →

Several weeks ago, I attended my first Texas Democratic Caucus, had I known they existed before, I would’ve been going since the year I moved to Austin. But as everyone knows, Texas hasn’t bothered with the process in a generation … Continue reading →

Posted on March 28, 2008 by Steve

Austin’s playoff run ended last night in Odessa but at least they made it close with a 1-0 loss. The Odessa Jackalopes move on probably to face the formidable Laredo Bucks, the team I think that has the best shot … Continue reading →

Their playoff hopes have been kept alive! Now it’s win or go home in Odessa tonight. I had the good fortune to make the game since there were plenty of tickets available. Attendance is usually poor on a “school” night … Continue reading →

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Steve

Last week, my friend and fellow DM Flynn brought Paizo’s Pathfinder announcement to my attention. Since these guys did a great job with Dungeon and they write excellent adventures in their Gamemaster series, I had to investigate further. Seems they’ve … Continue reading →

One can never know too much in my opinion

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Steve

It must’ve been a slow news day when the Chicago Tribune ran this story about iPhone users knowing too much. Actually it originated from the LA paper the Tribune Corp. owns, is selling or whatever, I only know that the … Continue reading →

   Seems funny t-shirt places on the Internet are just cropping up constantly. And I say, more power to them! As long as they have clever, funny and well-drawn material, they get my money. In their honor, I decided launch … Continue reading →

Posted on March 23, 2008 by Steve

Normally the cats stop doing the funny things they’re doing as soon as we get the camera rolling but not this time! Besides being the psychotic cat, Molly is the most territorial. Whenever a stray animal other than a dog … Continue reading →

I scored a 242 this Friday!

Posted on March 22, 2008 by Steve

No, that’s not my personal best at Wii Bowling, I think it’s close though. I’ll look it up to confirm later. Sadly, it was my Cholesterol score when I went to my heart screening at Apple this week. When I … Continue reading →

We now pwn a Wii

Posted on March 17, 2008 by Steve

I’m not trying to ridicule or fit in with today’s youth culture like GB Trudeau does, but I can’t stand people thinking they’re witty, funny or “in” by misspelling words. Yet this fit. Somara and I had discussed getting Nintendo’s … Continue reading →
