I hate that I missed carnaval in Brasil this year. Looking at the coverage on the web just makes my pain even worse. But hey, I’m a glutton for punishment. I’ll have to start making plans to hit it next year. Here are a couple of sites with some good coverage. Terra’s Carnaval 2004 Gallery… Continue reading Brasil Carnival Coverage
Back on the Block
I’m back! The flood of hits from me posting the Janet pictures sucked up all of my bandwidth for the month. That forced me to make the move to a new host which I’d been putting off for months. Once my domain name transfer went through I embarked on the fun & exciting task of… Continue reading Back on the Block
Is the United States an Empire?
There’s a very interesting series of articles on the BBC’s site asking whether the United States is an empire. The answer (yes!) seems clear to me, but there are good arguments on both sides. Be sure to check the reader comments at the bottom of the articles.
What’s on My Treo 600
I’ve now had my Treo 600 working for about a month and I’m really enjoying it. It’s nice to be able to call, e-mail, IM, SMS, and browse the web from one device. My number port still isn’t right, as some calls still ring on my land line, but that’s a whole ‘nother story. Sprint… Continue reading What’s on My Treo 600
My Bro, the Nerd! lol
I just noticed that my brother, Tony, got a link from Nerd Nation’s Nerds Bookmarks page. Pretty impressive that he made the list and Gizmodo didn’t. I know he’ll be happy for the exposure, but I wonder how he feels about the nerd thang. 🙂
Hell of a Game
There’s nothing like a good college basketball game. I just finished watching the Duke/North Carolina game. That game never disappoints, and tonight’s 83 – 81 overtime win by Duke sure lived up to the tradition. I can’t wait for the rematch in a few weeks, and this type of action is making me itch for… Continue reading Hell of a Game
Janet Makes Internet Searching History
According to Lycos, Janet’s Super Bowl incident is now the most searched thing in history. I’m not surprised given the flood of hits I’ve received from search engines. I knew I was gonna kill my bandwidth, but this is nuts. As an aside, who actually uses Lycos??? 🙂 Janet Makes History February 4, 2004 Janet… Continue reading Janet Makes Internet Searching History
Janet Yanked from the Grammys?
I just saw a promo for Sunday’s Grammy show and noted that Janet Jackson is no longer in the ad. It looks like CBS yanked her as she’s not listed on their website either.
RealNetworks’ Bait & Switch
It looks like RealNetworks’ games may be catching up with them. It has always annoyed me at how difficult it is to find their free media player. (Not to mention all the pop-ups it launches.) Every time you click on the link for the free version, another page loads with all the pay versions in… Continue reading RealNetworks’ Bait & Switch
Janet Jackson Super Bowl Pictures
Well that was a halftime show to remember. When I saw Justin Timberlake remove Janet’s top, I thought it was part of their show. I thought that because Justin’s hand lingered over Janet’s breast for a couple of seconds seemingly waiting for him to finish the lyric “I’ll have you naked by the end of… Continue reading Janet Jackson Super Bowl Pictures
