Don't Fear the Digital Transition!
Do you receive your TV channels through a roof antenna, or rabbit ears? Is the TV at least a few years old? If so, you'll need a DTV converter box to see anything after February 17, 2009. My mother has never had cable or satellite TV, so...

Goodbye to My First Dog....life's not fair
That smile in my profile picture just felt phony today, so I changed it. After a long day of harrowing visits to multiple vet clinics, we had to say goodbye to Casey shortly after midnight. He had a long, happy life, but we were still not...

Foster Animals
My wife and I have fostered many dogs over the past 3 years. Right now, we own 4 dogs (adopting Maddy, our most recent foster), and therefore can't legally have any more adult dogs in our house. I thought I'd share a few pictures of our past...

Rockin' to Roger on the Radio

Have you seen Roger Rocks on Rails yet?
It was a daunting task editing the RRonRs video. I wanted to capture the essence of Roger and Camilla's journey, and not "over-edit" the video, which would ruin the feel of the story. I hope I got it right. If you have no idea what I'm...

Anyone who's looked at my blogs (both of you) knows that I love baseball. The Mrs. and I just had to watch Field of Dreams last weekend to get ready. Normally I don't go for movies that are sappy, sentimental, and manipulative, but darn it,...

It was a death blow.
It's official, HD-DVD is dead. I'm so relieved I went with Blu-Ray six months ago. It was not a decision I took lightly, since my mother still has about a hundred beta tapes at home. HD-DVD fans will likely get a good deal on existing...

So I'm an athlete again? Cool.
One day late last year, I was perusing GrowingBolder, which is a website you may have heard of. I stumbled across an article about a man who'd created an amatuer baseball league for adults, and decided to check out the league. After weeks of...

A Death Blow in the Format War?
I''m a big movie buff, with 300 or so DVDs, as well as a very well-used Netflix subscription. I love High-Def TV and movies, but hesitated to buy into Blu-Ray or HD-DVD for fear of picking the wrong side in a format war. My family sided with BetaMax in...
