Umpire on Power Trip

I thought it was odd that Brian McCann got thrown out in last nights game. It seems to me the ump was just on a major power trip there!

Blogging for Dollars

My experiment was to see what kind of traffic I would get – but more especially, what I could earn from Google Adsense from this traffic. It was moderately successful.

I’m a Nerd and a Dork?

OK, I always figured myself for a nerd, thanks in part to my family continually reminding me of that fact. Hence, I have appropriately named my freelance portal: Nerdlance.com. I never knew I was a Dork though. Some of the questions on this quiz may not be fair. I have perfectly reasonable explainations for all [...]

Tribute To Utah 2005

Where has this video been hiding? Ah, what a great tribute to a great state! I can’t believe they left out Duchesne (pronounced du-shane). I was hoping to hear a reference to my home town of Roosevelt. They got a lot of smaller towns around the area. Maybe in the next version of the song [...]
