I am notorious among a few of my friends for not watching very many movies or reading books for pleasure. I am sure I could rack my brain for a few hours and come up with a perfectly plausible explanation for it, but it generally comes down to a short attention span. I never have [...]

Related: Video Link I took a bit of video from last night’s fireworks display over Riverfront Park. The Tennessean estimated that more than 100,000 people came to the event this year, and I am curious how they even began to come up with a final attendance. The crowds stretched all the way up to Third [...]

Samantha and I are enjoying a “staycation”, the idea of staying around your home city on time off from work rather than traveling. Today’s two events (so far) were the Music City Hot Chicken Festival in East Park and the Music City July 4th event downtown. I took a few pictures from the events on [...]

Without giving away too much about my political leanings (which should really, really not be too much of a brain-stretcher), I thoroughly enjoyed this evening’s festivities at the Flying Saucer in downtown Nashville. State House candidate Mike Stewart joined us for dinner. To be fair, he was distracted and Samantha and I had no intentions [...]

Okay Peter Moore, the puck is at your end of the ice now. Are you going to let 2K run away with a year of hockey for the Nintendo Wii and leave EA Sports on the bench? From GameSpot: NHL 2K9 sticking it to Wii 2K Sports announces first licensed hockey game for Nintendo’s system, [...]

Vacation season is upon us with schools out for the summer and the weather warming up. My inbox has been filled lately of out of office notes and even a few e-mails at home to friends have come back a few days later with an apology for not being around to answer them sooner. I [...]

Tomorrow (Saturday) we have a fairly eventful day planned in downtown Nashville. By the looks of it, it will be mostly sunny with a high in the mid-50s with no chance of rain. Not a bad first weekend of spring considering that you could just about raft in the otherwise slightly damp creek bed near [...]

We received our latest Netflix DVD in the mail the other day, and unlike most I actually found time to sit through most of Idiocracy In the movie, Joe Bauers (played by Luke Wilson) arrives in 2505 to an America filled with (and run by) people with the mindset of young teenagers and the cognitive [...]

With the ongoing writer’s strike, I have started looking a little more critically at the television lineup. For example, I thought a reborn American Gladiators franchise on NBC sounded like a great idea. It didn’t take much to kill off that optimism and change the channel. The gladiators have the personalities of a dull pencil, [...]

Two lines have defined the weekend. The first was on Friday in Green Hills at the Apple Store, where we waited thirty minutes or so to line up a “Genius” at the Genius Bar to have a look at my Mac mini. The diagnosis was not good, but expected. The hard drive had keeled over [...]
