OK, Matt Cassel IS an NFL Quarterback

A few weeks ago, I questioned Bill Belichick‘s decision to keep Matt Cassel as quarterback of the New England Patriots.  As if there needs to be any proof that Bill Belichick knows way more about football than me, I was clearly wrong.  Cassel has shown himself to be more than ready to lead an [...]

Time to Buy a Car?

What little I know about economics tells me that when supply exceeds demand, prices fall, right?  If that still holds true in today’s whacked out economy, the information in this article in the New York Times today tells me that if one is in the market for a new vehicle and can find some [...]

Microsoft Live Labs Seadragon

In an obvious move to get more of the technologies being worked on inside Microsoft into our grubby little hands as fast as possible (think Google’s success with it’s perpetual beta solutions), Microsoft has released a couple of new tools/technologies for us to try.

One of these is StickySorter and another is Seadragon.  StickySorter [...]

What’s With All The GM Bashing?

Image via Wikipedia

Let me put all my cards on the table.  Like my friend Shawn, I want GM and, in fact, all three American car manufacturers to make it through this current mess and to be hugely successful.  I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want this.  Aren’t more [...]

Track Day with the CTS-V

This past weekend, my buddy Shawn and I attended an intro for the new Cadillac CTS-V, Caddy’s high-performance, mid-size sedan.  The event took place at the incredible Monticello Motor Club in New York, a members-only race track – sorta like a golf club for people with high octane fuel in their veins.

The CTS-V [...]

Praise the Lord! Tom Brady is Back in Training

Apparently, Tommy is back in Foxboro rehabbing his mutilated knee and working out with his teammates.

 

It’s been hard to figure out exactly what has been going on with Brady since the hit that took out his knee at about 5 milliseconds into the football season this year.  Surgery for the damage, [...]

Intelsat’s Marisat-F2 Decommissioned after 32 Years – How Long will Your Engineering Project Hold Up?

On October 29th, Intelsat Ltd. announced that their Marisat-F2 satellite, designed to provide communication for ships at sea and scientists on the South Pole, was finally dying after 32 years of service.  That’s pretty impressive.  What makes it even more impressive, though, is that it was originally only designed for five years of service [...]

James Bond in HD

Comcast is currently running an ad stating that they are offering up all 21 James Bond films in HD On Demand through November 30.  To entice you and me (yeah, like I need to be enticed to watch a James Bond film), they have made said advertisement totally gadget and “Q”-esque.  A must see [...]

Reaching the 3,000 Mile Penultimate Summit

Early in the year, I had set a soft goal for myself of cycling about 4,000 miles in 2008.  It was a soft goal because I had never kept complete records on previous years’ rides and didn’t know where 4,000 miles fit into what I had done earlier.  Would it be too much or [...]
