BYU 49, Tulsa 24 — Game recap

I figured I would have a throw back to the past and post something reminiscent to my “Den of Sports.” I was the Sports Editor my junior year of high school and had my own little “column” in which I waxed knowledgeable in sports.

BYU Football TV Coverage

So when the Mountain West Conference signed this deal with CSTV and this new MTN network, I was a little skeptical. Now, I’m just mad! They promised to have deals in place for the games to be broadcast on all the usual TV distribution outlets (Dish Network, DirecTV, and Comcast). Well, two of those deals…

Substitute Canada fishing for Roosevelt Golf

So I think I will follow suite of ProjectMom and start to blog on a more regular basis even if I don’t have anything profound or exciting to say. Perhaps more of a journal. Hopefully for the reader there will be more content interesting than not. So last week I was supposed to be in…

GroundFX Landscaping — crooks

Note: I found this article in my drafts, so I figured I would publish it, even though it was several months ago. One of the major headaches with purchasing a new home is landscaping. You fork out all kinds of money to get into a home (which most people are stretching to pay for anyway)…

Gnome 2.12 and Evolution 1.6.0… sucks!

So I’ve run into my first pet peeve with SUSE Linux 10.1 (now renamed to openSUSE). My company is very Microsoft-centric company (except on our servers). Ok… I take that back… the IT department is very Microsoft-centric. We use Microsoft Exchange for our email, calendaring, etc… the buzz word is collaboration application. Evolution is the…

Illegal Immigration Follow-up

I would like to submit a recent Orson Scott Card article as my follow-up to a recent post on illegal immigration.  His words could have easily been said by myself (with some minor differences), except with much less eloquence.  For the most part, I completely agree with what he says. My only issue is that…

The view from the center

Sometimes, someone comes along with a brilliant idea. And this idea is brilliant (http://www.viewfromcenter.com). I’ve contemplated it quite frequently and the author of this blog and I have discussed this multiple times in the past. I’m sure there are many, many Americans that would quickly jump on this bandwagon. Most everyone I speak with about…

Politics and Prostitution

Comments like this are the reason I and so many Americans loved Ronald Reagan: “Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.” He was brutally honest about the problems of his profession.

SUSE 10.1 with XGL

Last week I installed the new SUSE Linux 10.1. In just a few words, brilliant synergy. This is by far one of the best releases of Linux in recent history and the best I’ve seen. I’ve been using Linux now since 1997 (RedHat 6.x), I think. But I haven’t used it consistently on the desktop…

Indiscriminate Charity

Early morning here in Hawaii and I’m just readying through my usual blogs.  Quote of the day provided quite a profound phrase from Andrew Carnegie: “One of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.” Although I would love to expound more on this, I will leave it as an exercise…
