January 2008
Best of The Blog →
I’ve struggled to come up with a good 2007 post that’s reasonably concise and has some brevity (the number one thing Twitter has taught me in my month or so of using it). A ton happened this year — most of it was good, but there were always speedbumps along the way. I’m really proud of my continued progress in getting on my own two feet this year, and am really looking forward to taking off like...
Firing Squad →
The NFL regular season has concluded, so that means a fairly unhappy New Years’ Eve for a few underperformers. The shakeup begins — where else? — in Miami: general manager Randy Mueller is Bill Parcells’ first casualty in what promises to be a tumultuous offseason for the 1-15 Dolphins. Brian Billick, the coach of the Ravens who lost to the Dolphins, found out what happens when you lose to a 1-15...
Best wishes for a high value 2008 @ everybody :)
@Cantalyssa Oooo…those sound GOOD.
Finishing what I started last night. What’s going on for New Years’?

Off to the last lunch of 2007.
counting down a little bit…need some food and stuff.
A step backwards for phishers →
Phishers, desperate for personal information that can be used to steal your identity, have been crafting more and more authentic-looking messages to attempt to fool people. Some of the specimens are really, really good. And then there’s this intrepid attempt, which appears to have set back phishing by at least five years with its outlandish, completely non-Google fonts (and a mention of Gmail...
On yet another roll at 3am. This needs to stop :)
Stage is set: Titans at Chargers on Sunday. GO BOLTS!
The Chargers draw Tennessee →
It’s official — the Titans defeated the Colts’ backups 16-10, making them the Chargers’ opponent on Sunday for the opening round of the playoffs. Maybe the Chargers can be a little more decisive in their victory this time.
Twin Beds and Badassness, Revisited →
Well, 2007’s about 26 hours away from being a memory. On January 7 of this year, I made a spirited defense of my twin bed as it related to my overall Badassness Quotient. (If you are lost, you MUST read that post.) In defending the bed, I cited the lack of a need to expand the space because of the bed’s ability to hold up to the traffic demands placed upon it. I also made a 2007 projection of...
Getting mileage out of the warmth →
Today’s apparel: Flipflops, beach-oriented shorts, and my favorite Hawaiian shirt. Yes, I still know where all my cold-weather clothes are — The Thermals are ready and waiting in their hangar, prepared to deploy Wednesday for the deep freez(e) that is expected.
One game left… →
One game to go in the regular season, and it’s pretty important for the Chargers. While their seeding is set (they’re #3 by virtue of their defeating the Raiders today), it’s unclear who they’re going to see in their playoff game next weekend. Whoever they see won’t make it easy.
If the Titans beat the Colts tonight — a real possibility, as Indy has nothing to really play for in terms of seeding...
Sweet! Another LT rushing title! Congrats, LT!
Not sure who I’d rather see in the playoffs — probably the Titans.
@xarker Agreed…Sunday Ticket may be entering my home next season. Hope the Chargers can hold ‘em for one more quarter…
Is it unreasonable for me to want CBS to show the Chargers?

The New England Patriots have just completed the first undefeated 16-game regular season in NFL history. The Giants gave ‘em a game for the first half, but the Patriots pulled away and really won it in the way that they do it — aggressive, always attacking, never relenting. Unbelievable. The Patriots won by forcing mistakes, like they have all year.
Unbelievable. Time will tell if they make it...
