• Buffalo Homecoming

    Stepping away from the NHL draft and other nerdity for a moment, I’d like to point out (both for locals and potential visitors alike) that June 26-29 is Buffalo Homecoming, a yearly event to highlight what there is to like about Buffalo. June 26th is dedicated to the city’s varied eateries, and folks are encouraged…

  • Wordle

    Wordle is a site that’s making the blog-rounds. The site has a Java applet where you can put in a bunch of text (or your del.icio.us tags) and makes tag clouds out of them, with multiple font/color options. I made on of the headers on my site with it, and there are some really interesting…

  • Hulk SMASH

    I went to see The Incredible Hulk over the weekend (twice, in fact). I enjoyed it quite a bit, although Iron Man is still my movie of the year so far. I only read Hulk comics when I got ’em in the multipacks I bought, but I enjoyed what I read of Peter David’s run.…

  • Cuteness!

    I normally save my kid and baby posting for the forum but I can’t keep this to myself:

  • Educational Games That Don't Suck

    As you may know, aside from being a hockey (and general sports) nut, I’m also a colossal nerd. I’m also a Daddy, and my son has naturally taken to some of my favorite hobbies, like computer games. This article from InventorSpot gives a few examples of games that can help educate without losing the fun…

  • Explosion Behind HSBC Arena

    …about 1000 yards from where I’m sitting. Here’s the first story I see on it. I heard the boom, but that sort of noise (with the construction and industry around here) isn’t out of the ordinary. And no, if I die, you cannot have my stuff.

  • Cheapskates: $1 Bus Fares to NYC, Toronto

    Megabus has started service between Buffalo and Binghamton, Toronto and NYC, in case you were not aware. The trick is, you can get tickets as low as $1 each way depending on when you search and how much demand there is for the trip. I just did a search, and could go round-trip to Toronto…

  • Office Spaced

    A California man used an automated script to sign up for more than 58,000 Google Checkout, Paypal, brokerage and other online accounts that use deposit verification techniques, and got sent $58,000. Think Office Space. It would’ve worked, except: However, Largent used false names, including cartoon characters, as well as false addresses and social security numbers,…

  • Old Game Tuesday – Rocket Arena 2, Jailbreak

    These mods, along with Starcraft and MechWarrior 2 (the other game witnessed that fateful day) are what got me back in to gaming on the PC platform, and I’ve been there ever since.

  • Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night. I thought it was pretty good, say B- or C+ grade-wise. I enjoyed it, and don’t feel as if it was a waste of money, which is good considering how much it costs to go to a movie nowadays. There…

  • Attention S & R Greenleaf Landscaping

    Hi, guys. You don’t know me, but I know you. Specifically, ‘Rob’. Rob left a positively joyous message on my phone, apparently mistaking me for someone who owes his company (the aforementioned S & R Greenleaf Landscaping) money. Trust me, pal, if my yard looked like it does now, and I owed you $240, I’d…

  • Adjudicating the Blogroll

    Inspired by Kevin’s blogroll editing, I’ve taken a look at my blogroll and tweaked it. For me, since there were so few links, it really involves adding and not subtracting. Any of the sites I have gone back to after the first visit are in. If it’s something I’ve linked to, it’s pretty much in…
