Winter Bowling: Post Turkey Day
Dec 01 2008, 22:23 EST [updated Dec 01 2008, 22:27 EST]
129, 147, 124. As my excuse my legs were asleep from driving back from Thanksgiving. It turns out I won $20 in the pre-Thanksgiving day game. No one remembers for what but there was a $20 and a sticky that said "Jack $20 HDCP" so it was some handicap t

Far and Away Thanksgivings
Nov 26 2008, 00:44 EST [updated Nov 26 2008, 00:45 EST]
ABC has a story of Thanksgivings overseas. I can attest they are a tough number. When I was an exchange student living in Australia my American host mother servered a "turkey loaf" because it was the nearest thing going (finger quotes 'cause "near enoug

Winter Bowling: Position Night
Nov 24 2008, 23:51 EST
I threw 119, 133, 157. Ooph. We were dead last out of six teams going in and still are. Our anchor was out due to kidney stones but that didn't matter much because one of our opponents, who has palsy (not sure what kind), threw +30 per game over his av

Hillary Clinton: Unconstitutional Sec State Nomination?
Nov 24 2008, 23:30 EST [updated Nov 24 2008, 23:35 EST]
The Volokh Conspiracy has the goods. There is a quaint law that says congressmen can't switch to an appointed office who's pay has increased during their term. The accepted workaround is to reduce the pay to what it was before that person's current term

Reading TED Talks
Nov 23 2008, 21:52 EST [updated Nov 23 2008, 21:59 EST]
The Technology Entertainment and Design lectures are by leaders for leaders -- and mostly the geeky leaders in their fields. The underlying theme is painfully technocratic because the attendees are people with dough in search of solutions, but the talks

Lehigh beats Lafayette 31-15
Nov 22 2008, 18:36 EST [updated Nov 22 2008, 18:38 EST]
The telecast party at The Harp was lightly attended this year, about 150 people. Apparently last year they screwed it up and didn't make sure the game would even be televised in Boston (this year it was on Fox College Sports Pacific -- huh?).

Review: Gears of War 2

I'm not finished the game and I might never be. The difference between the first Gears of War and the second is the difference between Smokin' Aces and Shoot 'em up. One promised little and delivered much and the other promised the world and did not mak

Gears of War 2 arrived today
Nov 19 2008, 21:21 EST
The UPS guy must have been running late because he fudged all the delivery details. It wasn't down there at 2:55pm and it wasn't accepted by a woman. It was left on the front porch sometime between 3pm and 4pm. He could have at least rung the doorbell.

What the lame duck Republicans and incoming Democrats should and SHOULD NOT do
Nov 08 2008, 14:11 EST [updated Nov 08 2008, 14:18 EST]
Two years ago when Democrats took control of the house and senate they missed a prime opportunity to stand up for federalism. Thematically it would have robbed the Republicans of an issue and realistically it would have netted the Dems 100% of what they
