    Kiss today goodbye ...

    Technogeek question -- TV tuner

    I had to pop for a new laptop a few weeks ago and got one with Windows 7, then saw the ad about how to use the computer as a DVR. In looking through the Media Center program, I learned that I need an external TV tuner (plug one end into a USB port, screw the cable onto the other end). The...

    Proposal for NFL scheduling

    A buddy and I got to debating this idea this week as we tried to figure out various NFL playoff scenarios: Should the NFL do like Major League Baseball and make the last three weeks of the season all division games? With all divisions having four teams, it'd be easy to set up the schedule that...

    For one brief, shining moment, I had my own cheering section

    While not exactly a highlight of my career (or even my week), what happened tonight while covering a high school volleyball match was almost too funny to believe. Roughly 30 or so football players from the home school sat right at midcourt and would do the FIRST-name LAST-name (clap, clap...

    How may parents would let their teen son try this?

    Just saw this story on the wire about a 17-year-old kid from California hitting the home stretch in his bid to become the youngest to sail around the world solo.
