QUOTE (Soxy @ May 11, 2010 -> 10:57 AM) I just got a final paper, written as a one-act play, entitled "George Bush in Speech Error-Land," characters include wombats, Freud and Skinner. This is a promising turn of events. Michelle Bachman, Helen Thomas and Chomsky also makes a cameo. Oh that sounds very interesting!

QUOTE (Brian @ May 11, 2010 -> 10:32 AM) I'm actually hoping my softball game is called cuz of the rain. my guess is that there is a good chance of that. The fields will be water logged tonight.

Tonight is going to be awwwweesssooommmeeee......

QUOTE (Soxy @ May 11, 2010 -> 09:58 AM) So, I went for a hike yesterday and the ticks were out of control! I hate ticks. I hate them so much. Does anyone have any good techniques for not getting ticks? I hate them. I use the "stay indoors and watch TV" method.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 10, 2010 -> 07:23 PM) You left off fiber, fiber > cable. I have Verizon and I am on 25 mpbs, the difference is the upload speed is also 25 mpbs. Why a home user would need more than that is beyond me actually. What's taking AT&T so long to get Uverse out? I totally agree. 25 megabits is more than enough to stream 1080p HD video. With a 25 megabit, you can download one 3 megabyte file a SECOND.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 10, 2010 -> 07:12 PM) Not the end of the world - just pay it and it'll go away, it probably won't show up on your credit I quickly found the lost bill, mailed off a check to the hospital and I'll "dispute" the claim in a few days after the check has cleared.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 10, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) We had AT&T DSL than switched to the U-Verse cable wifi. It's much better. U-Verse Internet is technically still DSL I thought. Am I wrong?

AT&T UVerse (DSL) and I love it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 10, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) Funny. She said "When the Senate ceases to engage nominees in meaningful discussion of legal issues, the confirmation process takes on an air of vacuity and farce, and the Senate becomes incapable of either properly evaluating nominees or appropriately educating the public." Most of the time the confirmation process is used by the opposition for political grandstanding and trying to score points with their constituency for re-election. It has nothing to do with actually determining if they will vote for the person... they already know how they will vote!

So, in the aftermath of having a second child it seems a bill slipped through the cracks and we got a collections notice. OOPS!

What happens when you try really hard to be partisan? You end up supporting slavery... even though you're black: Michael Steele Inadvertently Supports Constitutions 3/5 Compromise OOPS!! IMO: The constitutional IS by nature defective or flawed. It's written by humans. It was designed to be a living and breathing document that can be changed over time... hence the whole amendments thing.

Any news on the job?

Betty White is awesome.

QUOTE (NIUSox @ May 9, 2010 -> 10:26 PM) According to TSN, Duncan Keith's slap shot at the end of the first period ruptured Sami Salo's testicle! Ouch! Let Vancover be put on notice: You mess with us, we'll mess with your nuts! On a serious note, ouch. just ouch. My brother-in-law has a story of a friend of his who has the same thing when being hit in the groin while out playing paintball.

Cleveland-Orlando is setting up to be a great series.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:25 AM) Omg! New J.J. Abrams trailer produced by Steven Spielberg that apparently plays with Iron Man. I have a boner! I'll be there opening night. Looks VERY intersting.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 8, 2010 -> 03:39 PM) I love living near Barrington AMC 30. That's the only theater my wife will see movies at and we are now living 3 minutes from there.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ May 8, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) There needs to be a set standard for web development, so I like this. I am a programmer in Flash and .NET, so I can see this from all sides. Flash ActionScript 4 needs to be compatible with HTML 5, or at least a giant step closer. .NET and Silverlight will have less work to do, but still have a funky setup of a XML/HTML mismash to run Silverlight. The Flash creative environment is still the best around and will continue to be, however having to install an extra plugin just to run a "language" is not the way of the future with HTML 5 implementation. HTML 5 offers a new "embed" tag that is used for Flash, but it still needs to be better from Adobe's side. Like Flash or not, it's not going anywhere for a while. But the implementation certainly needs to be improved. I largely have no issue with Flash in regards to interactive media such as games. But for things like web video and "navigation" i really dislike it.

Apple developing Flash alternative named Gianduia Sounds like you write in Objective-C and it somehow translates into HTML5+JavaScript.

I am actully very conceded that some vancover player is going to actively seek out to seriosuly injure a blackhawk.

Vancover is imploding.

All clear... it was a cooler with water bottles in it.

Times Square has been evacuated again

QUOTE (knightni @ May 7, 2010 -> 12:53 PM) Like that scenario would happen in any true sense... The Cubs are locked into Wrigleyville due to finances and the Sox should be at the Cell for at least another 40 years. It wasnt meant to be a real senario. Just a thought experiment: What if you committed a large sum of money to facilities then they just walk away 1 year later. I bet you'd be pissed.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 7, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) Who exactly would they be playing in Cactus League games? I wasnt referring to a spring training facility. I was talking about a new regular season park.
