Damon is constantly thinking about his Auburn Elvis venture and what he can do to make the experience more enjoyable for those who see him at the different games. He gets stopped a lot to have his picture taken and...
The City Council approved a resolution Tuesday night granting permanent closure of an alley on the 1500 block of Chamberlain Avenue. The 5-4 vote for permanent closure was finally possible with all council members in attendance. This vote followed several deadlocked...
Found on Gizmodo: What's My Blog Rated? This is a cute little tool which claims to be able to help you "find out the film rating of your blog, profile, or website." So, I tried a couple of hicks and got: Hmmmmmm,...
A St. Elmo couple has, in response to the Mayor's gutting of the city-wide recycling program (and waste of surplus funds on condescending copyright-violating marketing schemes), launched their own weekly neighborhood-wide recycling pickup program. Very cool, though I still prefer...
We spent an evening in Barcelona at Port Vell, the harbor at which La Rambla terminates, and Barceloneta, the nearby Mediterranean beach. Walking along the water's edge, we passed by this building, "Homentage a la Barceloneta," which was designed by...
I have been getting a lot of hits from people looking for a picture of Tiger Woods and the new baby. Enjoy. If you would like to see pictures of the house which was rumored to be his, then you...
This is going to be so very cool ... I already use Google Browser Sync to sync much of the personal Firefox settings, but I have always been frustrated by the inability to sync my extensions and profiles. Now, here...
I've been wondering about this for a long time. Seems to me that projection is limited by the contrast ratio, since the black areas never seem black enough in relation to the bright areas. But, if the bright...

At Tigerwoods.com you can catch the shots of Tiger's new kid: Sam Alexis Woods. I wonder how this is going to change how he trains/practices/plays, etc. He's on the road constantly. Practices hours and hours per day. Pro golf marriages don't...

We can assume that Ward Crutchfield's political career is over.
Even if he somehow walks away from the Tennessee Waltz charge, his run for re-election in 2008 is troubled at best. Add to that the precarious position of the State Senate...
Here’s another thing that is quite cool. Part of my dynamic warmup (see “On stretching”) every day is a set of ten knee hugs. Simple enough... you hug one knee to your chest while standing, then drop that knee taking...
