The “blog-specific” blog bracket, Day 4
And so the Final Four has been determined. With Duke’s 66-50 win over Creighton last night, that means that blog-reader Pat has cruised past J-Mac to make my blog-bracket’s final four. She gets to face Jango Davis in the semifinals, while D357 takes on blog-bracket-buster Bill W in the other semifinal round. So here’s the…
Read MoreThe “blog-specific” bracket after Day 3
The first round of the “blog bracket,” in which sixteen readers of this blog are matched up with sixteen teams in the NCAA Division 1’s Midwest bracket, went off pretty well.

I wonder sometimes if, between the time we start to fall asleep and the moments where it actually occurs, what we might hear in our subconscious mind.

Okay, so you know of at least four artworks that will be on display beginning May 17th at the St. Agnes Cemetery “Living Room” art gallery and meditation area.

Read More12 SiriusXM channels to choose
I’ve had my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt for the past five months, and it’s been the best five months of my driving life. And one of the things that really captured my fascination with the Blackbird is that this bad boy has built-in SiriusXM satellite radio available on it. Aces. So in addition to six AM…

Last Saturday, I was testing out my new Lomography “Sprocket Rocket” 35mm camera. It’s a plain little shooter that produces wide-angle photos AND exposes the film all the way to the sprocket holes.
