It’s been a light week around here with no basketball games. If you’ll let me extend the definition of a light posting week to “nothing since Monday morning.” So, I have a few notes: I saw I Am Legend last night. I had fairly high expectations, as I seem to for basically every Will Smith […]

Weekly Notes: December 6, 2007
Let’s get started: If you’ve followed the baseball hot stove this offseason, you’re probably aware that Andruw Jones was not willing to sign a one-year deal, probably because Scott Boras advised him that it would make him look like he needed a make-good/second chance style of contract before signing a “real” long-term deal. Well, the […]
Weekly Notes: November 1, 2007
A few notes for your first day of November: I have been going to the movies less and less over the past year or so. There just aren’t that many that are worth making a trip to a theater and paying 3-4 times what you pay for a rental, and movies keep coming out on […]
Weekly Notes: October 25, 2007
It’s been a while since I did one of these posts. Let’s hope I remember how it works. First, a few football lists: [TABLE=1] [TABLE=2] Now, a few other notes: I’ve been playing a lot of Xbox 360 recently, and I told myself that I wasn’t going to buy NCAA Football 08 (a game I […]
The Political Compass
For some reason, I’ve always liked taking quizzes that tell me what I really think from a political perspective. The World’s Smallest Political Quiz tells me that I’m slightly left and moderately libertarian, but it’s known to have a libertarian bias based on how the questions are phrased. Today, I took the quiz for the […]

WordPress Security Issues This morning during my daily tech blog reading, I read a headline that 49 out of 50 WordPress blogs are vulnerable! What a way to grab readers! This blog is powered by WordPress, and while I’ve had my issues, I wouldn’t trade the functionality for anything. I can do pretty much anything […]
Another Bison coming out for Obama
Joining a Facebook group isn’t exactly the type of decision you spend hours agonizing about, unless you’re crazy and/or me. In my defense, though, it’s not the idea of joining the Facebook group that’s causing me mental anguish. Rather, it’s my own internal argument about whether or not I support Barack Obama in the 2008 […]
Might as well listen to Howard Stern
There are a lot of people in my part of the country who listen to Rush Limbaugh every day. While even they might agree that he’s not exactly a pillar of conservative thought, at least in theory, they see him as someone who really speaks the way they feel. That time has hopefully come and […]
A convenient plug
Last night’s Academy Awards presentation was generally pretty boring, save for a fun musical number early on featuring Jack Black and Will Ferrell about the plight of the comedy star. I was basically just rooting for the movies I’d seen, which were few among the many nominees. The Prestige and Little Miss Sunshine were probably […]
President Bush visits Chattanooga
My first day back to work this week has been slightly more eventful than most, since the Decider-in-Chief is in Chattanooga today to address his latest health care policies. President Bush spoke to a group at Erlanger Medical Center, a local hospital that has historically been the area’s health-care leader (but has been in financial trouble in […]
