Awesome. I think this would have topped my own personal “best snowball at an NFL game” story, hands-down.

Top Ten Things You Should Never Tweet
I don’t think there’s anything that should be a “tweet,” but if you must:

It could also be argued that these same rules apply to FB status updates, to a lesser extent.
My favorite "clients from hell" submission to-date
clientsfromhell:
Client: We need to use WeirdoFont on our website.
Me: That’s not possible, the font is not a common web font.
Client: Nothing is impossible! It’s just a question of time and money.
Me: Well, OK, I’ll travel around the world and install the font on all internet-connected computers, if you can get the copyright clearance for the font.
Client: That’s more like it! You’ll be...
Tomorrow
The Earth will stop pivoting along its Y-axis, pause, and reverse its direction, bringing us back into the light.

Parlay's Presidential Lock - Week 15
New York Giants (-3) @ Washington
I missed the boat on the Thursday, Saturday, and all the Sunday games. So, with only one game left to choose from, I’m going with the Giants.
Don’t get me wrong, I love to see the Giants lose. It’s just that the Redskins are a complete enigma to me. Every time I think they’ll come out on top, they fail. Every time I write them off, they...
Master and Commander
Forgot how much I loved this damn movie. When I got my HDTV & Blu-Ray setup a few months back, this is the film I wanted to break it in with.
I finally got my chance tonight.
Overall: 9/10
Christmas Shopping
For last-minute shoppers like me (for the record, I still have three or four days left to go), you simply cannot beat a good snowstorm. I was able to hit Evergreen Walk and the Buckland Hills mall for multiple gift purchases, one return, dinner, and free gift-wrapping all in the span of two hours. As you already know, it’s the weekend before Christmas.
Once again, being a last-minute joe...
Night Fall
Just finished this one up. I wanted some lighter fare after a string of historical novels and dark McCarthy books.
I read the whole book thinking the title was “Night Fail,” until I was image-searching this morning for the book jacket and Google corrected me!
Night Fall is the suspenseful tale of loose-cannon New York detective John Corey reviving the case of TWA Flight 800,...

Parlay's Presidential Lock - Week 14
This week, make it a double! I feel compelled to improve upon my 2-2 Presidential Lock standing, and am making a strong play for 4-2.
Washington (-1) @ Oakland
Don’t expect Bruce Gradkowski to put up big numbers again this week, facing the Redskin’s ninth-ranked passing defense.
Expect lots three-and-outs, punts, and mediocrity as the Skins take it, 20-13.
Philadelphia...
An absolutely riveting 80 second look into the life of my cat.
Please let me be the first
to wish you a Merry Christmas this year.
Blake seemed a little down this week
So I registered 18 new tumblr accounts and made sure they all followed Blake. Don’t tell.

I’m not sure what happened but I got a whole mess of new followers over the last few days. Welcome friends.
Be right back
Going for a ride.

“A day that will live in infamy…”
Braveheart
I know the feeling. I also got fired up by it and looked on amazon to see if it’s available on Blu-Ray. A great way to start a collection, I think.

Spurred by a post by my broman Cheese, I fired up a few minutes of Braveheart on Netflix. Jesus I forgot how AMAZING this movie is. It’s probably been 7 or 8 years since I watched it all the way through.
One of the greatest Flash animations ever
At least in my opinion, it is. You may remember seeing this in 2007.

Keep in mind, you can watch in fullscreen mode. I recommend ignoring the blinking eye that appears with each new scene.
