I’ve only had one computer virus recently, I bet Carigs remembers it. Maybe a year ago the computer acted really strange, it was still functional, but skulls and crossbones and fire and poorly worded warnings showed up everywhere and I couldn’t edit my desktop. All Carigs did was search in Google for the phrases that [...]

I don’t really understand why people don’t like Brett Favre, he just loves football. Roger I don’t know how you came to the conclusion that Favre feels like the NFL should revolve around him. I don’t have a problem with him, he’s exciting to watch play, and I hope he does return next year. I [...]

First, congratulations to UConn basketball for beating Texas. Still, UConn seems very shallow and I’m not sure how deep they’ll be able to go this season. It seems like they are very reliant on Dyson to carry them. Also, I know there are big football games this weekend but I can’t really predict what will [...]

Now that we have all of that political talk out of our systems, let’s get back to what’s really important: sports and electronics.
Carigs, I also think that the Mets will regret the Bay deal. I think he’ll either get hurt, prove unable to handle the giant outfields at CitiField (great tacos there), or somehow otherwise [...]

Someone should see if they can get box seats for the HIM concert, so we don’t have to stand amongst the screaming teenage girls. They are not easily available, since the show is only on pre-sale now, and there are very few of these seats. Maybe try calling the House of Blues Boston and using [...]

The special election in Massachusetts for Ted Kennedy’s seat has been heating up and takes place on Tuesday. Since it’s at the tail end of a long ski weekend, but also a hugely important and hyped up race, projected voter turnout is unclear. Of course, the Republican candidate, Scott Brown, is a high-ranking National Guard [...]

So today I learned that HIM will be performing in Boston on March 28th, while I’m home on leave. I think that I must go to this concert, since how often does your favorite band, who happens to be from Finland, play an hour and a half away from where you live, while you’re at [...]

Alright, I think everyone is really tired of hearing about steroid use in baseball.
Here’s the story: A lot of baseball players used steroids, and not as many use them anymore. Using steroids makes some people better players and also can help them make millions of dollars. It’s pretty easy to tell who used to use [...]

I once again have internet in my room, although at my new location I have to pay for it. The connection isn’t great during “peak hours” and Skype hasn’t worked the few times I’ve tried it, but it’s still worth it to have internet in the room for emailing family and friends and posting on [...]

We have been without a post about baseball for far too long.
But first, did anyone hear about the person in New Hampshire who contracted Anthrax from “vigorous drumming” at a drum circle? When will hippies learn? Anthrax is, of course, a common disease in livestock – and hippies love using “natural” products, so their [...]
