In-House Notes

06Oct07

I did a bit of housecleaning on the blog tonight. In addition to returning to my original PressRow theme, I’ve decided that it’s finally time to pay a little attention to my links over on the right hand side of the page. I had a few links in there that didn’t work anymore, and I [...]


The internet is full of wonderful things. This post, for example, in which a FilmWad writer takes lovers of the movie 300 to task. It’s a fantastic post, albeit a bit over the top, but it’s still a good read regardless of how you feel about the film.


The music blog I write for, Broken Dial, is up for Best Music Blog in the BT Digital Music Awards People’s Choice category. If you’ve got a second, I’d appreciate you heading over to this link and voting for us. It’ll take but a second of your time and I’ll love you forever.


Chuck Bartowski is the lead character from the upcoming NBC show Chuck, and he’s got a Flickr account. He’s also got a Twitter account, a Facebook account, and an account on every other social network in the entire internets.

Tomorrow is Fantasy Zero Day for me — I have drafts in both of my leagues.
The first league is the new GruveBall league, a fantasy league started by myself and Jon (hence the “Gruve” in the league name). This is a keeper league with 8 of our friends, and it’s going to be a doozie. [...]


I’m currently sitting in next to last place in our fantasy league, but I’m not mad. Things are actually looking brighter than ever, and I firmly believe that if I had another two months, I could pull into the top six in the league and make our playoffs. As it stands, however, I’m sitting 25 [...]


Time reports that most people in the Bush administration expect an attack on Iran within the next six months, if not sooner. The talk stems from the belief that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard is responsible for supplying materials needed to create the explosive formed projectiles (shape charges) that are the primary mechanism behind the IED’s [...]


Continuing from today’s earlier post: you know your chances of getting elected President in 2008 suck when your own daughter supports Barack Obama instead of you.
