Another of the uncertainties going into the new NHL season that heightens the anticipation. Andreychuk re-signs with Tampa. It is somehow rewarding to see players older than ME still in the NHL. Heatly, Hossa swap teams. A fascinating move, benefitting both teams. I feal for the guy, but one could look at this and question [...]

My wife and I are going to Columbus, OH for a getaway, and then I have a family organized poker tournament in Toledo on Sunday. Speaking of poker…I finished Harrington on Hold ‘Em Volume 1, and I’m certain it is [...]

Amrstrong Responds. I don’t really follow cycling, but this story has one element I can’t ignore: The French. Every year, since Armstrong began to dominate the Tour, I’ve tuned in and followed the print reports to see him win again. There is something satisfying about watching an American dominate a sport the Europeans love, particularly [...]

Jack Kelly actually called a military source quoted in the NYT on a recent story about body armor. It seems the Times report was a bit of spin. Colonel Thomas Spoehr is annoyed with New York Times reporter Michael Moss, for what I think is a good reason. Spoehr is the director of materiel for [...]

First Principles Awhile back I suggested that I wanted to write a series of posts about why I believe as I do. I want to offer it as an explanation of core values, and why I tend to support the Right while attacking the Left. The various versions of this Blog have seen some heated [...]

and…. Odd couple. I’ve been eyeing this Copleston History of Philosophy series for some time (nine volumes!). It seems like a comprehensive and exhaustive (exhausting?) series, and I’ve always felt that my grounding in western thought was incomplete.

Nanotube sheets come of age This is HUGE! Watch the video…you are actually witnessing production of a strip on nanotubes. They aren’t unrolling it…they are MAKING it.

local6.com – News – Company Plans Video-Playing Tombstones My brother and I have this ‘gift’ (more like a curse) to come up with really interesting business ideas, but failing to do anything about them.

ESPN.com – NHL – Buccigross: NHL marketers, lend me your ears Bucci loves the game. He’s got great ideas (except larger nets) and entertaining articles. I’d LOVE to see an NHL commercial during the SuperBowl. NHLers playing in the Olympics could be the focus. Transactions: Leafs lose Mogilny. He signs again with the Devils. Lightning [...]

This is simply unbelievable. The U.S. Supreme Court recently found that the city’s original seizure of private property was constitutional under the principal of eminent domain, and now New London is claiming that the affected homeowners were living on city land for the duration of the lawsuit and owe back rent. It’s a new definition [...]
