The weather is slowly starting to match the seasons. It is much cooler out than the 75 degree days in December where we were all but convinced that winter was giving way to an early spring. As I walked out of the office this afternoon on my way home, I could not help but smile [...]

Samantha and I sat down a while back to talk about the next several years as a means to keep the “big picture” in perspective. The next calendar year does [...]
My otherwise strong immune system suffered a setback this week, laid low by your typical Upper Respiratory Infection (common cold). I managed to get both of my co-workers ill, although they seem to be taking better care of themselves than I did. The bug is going around and around, so hopefully it will have run [...]

Action has also been taken to enrich elements peripheral to the actual hockey gameplay. The fighting engine [...]
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?
