Bought a new laptop this past weekend.  The sound on my old one finally died after a lengthly struggle.  My new Sony Vaio features a blue-ray player with 1080p HD, 2 GB RAM and a cool 250 GB hard drive.  Although I must say so far, I'm not a fan of Windows Vista.  Too many unnecessary changes from XP plus i'm having problems recording with Cool ( Read more... )

- Roy Halladay is, in my opinion, the toughest (both physically and mentally) pitcher in baseball.  He's also one of the most skilled.  If only the Jays were able to hit in the beginning of the season (when he had some losses due to no run support) he'd be having another Cy Young-caliber year.  High on my list of desired purchases in the near ( Read more... )

Been watching a lot of basketball playoffs this year.  I knew the Raptors wouldnt advance very far, I thought they would have beat Orlando then lost in the next round.  Then I was hoping Phoenix would advance far (because I am a fan of Nash and Shaq) but they lost a pretty one-sided series.  Now i'm hoping New Orleans will beat San Antonio, but as ( Read more... )

So the Raptors have lost in the first round for the second year in a row.  After the first few games of the series though, you could kind of see this coming.  I still believe the Raptors are the better team, but its clear they werent doing what they needed to do to win, and here is what went wrong ( Read more... )

 I haven't posted consective posts in such a short time (<24 hours) in a while (maybe not ever).  But last night, I picked up Bret Hart's autobiography and started reading.  And I must say, the introduction itself is probably the best opening to a book I have ever read.  As a lifelong fan of Bret, and old school pro wrestling, I cannot begin to ( Read more... )

The things I would like to see concerning the Raptors at all-star weekend (and their likelihood of happening):

- Bosh and Calderon make the all star team.  Bosh is a given to be selected (although he won't start because Garnett and James will get more votes) and although Calderon is as deserving as any point guard based on his play this year, he won ( Read more... )

Dwelling of Duels  is a monthly competition where contestants in the video game remixing scene chose a song from a video game and remix it in their particular style of choice. The only rule: at least 1 instrument must be played live. Usually results in songs invovling live guitar or piano, but once in a while there will be live drum, sax, or brass ( Read more... )

I was going through my Wyclef Jean concert DVD the other day, and it made me realize how great of a MUSICIAN he is, and how unique of a concert he puts on. A lot of people may just know him as a hip hop artist that used to be in the Fugees. While that is partially true, he is not just a rapper, he is a MUSICIAN. His concert just shows how truly ( Read more... )
