If there is one thing that really discourages me from making a comment on someone else’s blog, it is when I’m asked to register. I really hate that. For some reason, that really bugs me. I realized joining a website serves two purposes: First, it’s one way of fighting comment spam. Second, it’s a great [...]
It was an ugly display of soccer tonight between the United States and Guatemala which ended up on 0-0 tie. The US fielded a very young team and Guatemala decided to bunker down on its own side of the field sometimes playing as many as 8 players in the box. The US had several chances [...]
The US Mens National Soccer Team defeated Ecuador last Sunday with a score of 3-1 in Tampa, Florida. Landon Donovan scored 3 goals to lead the United States past the visiting Ecuadorians. Unfortunately, I only got to see half of the game. It was my fault. I woke up late. By the time I turned [...]
I’m just wondering why my Akismet spam blocked count was reset several weeks ago. I had over 33,000 spam blocked back in January 30th, 2007. Prior to that I had over 22,000 spam blocked back in December 27th, 2006.

Within 30 minutes of consuming a small amount of a [...]

I love the speed of Comcast’s High Speed Internet connection. My latest internet speed test recorded a 15 mbps connection. It is lightning fast. It’s what I love about having a high speed internet cable connection. So, why am I blogging about it. There must be a problem. Yes, there is. The problem is Comcast [...]
I have noticed that spam is now all over del.icio.us. Very sad and disappointing. I had the same feeling when blogs started getting spam comments two years ago. I’m not sure what del.icio.us uses to combat spam. Maybe, it temporarily stopped for the time being as Akismet is known to do every once in a [...]
The upcoming Xbox 360 version of Halo 3 will cost $129.99. Ouch. Games have always cost in the neighborhood of $50-$60 dollars, but Halo 3 has to be a new record. It comes in three versions, the Standard Edition at $59.99, the Limited Edition at $69.99 and the Legendary Edition at $129.99.
