The Olympic Games are over and we are now faced with another overload of reality shows (thanks I’ll pass).
We’ll be looking back to these games as the turning point on various levels for the rest of our lives. 
It’s when a generation of kids, the world over, decided that they wanted to be gymnasts and follow [...]

Inflation, over priced items, here’s a work around. August 19, 2008

Since inflation is the order of the day here in the U.S. many of the things we own are worth less and many of the things we want or need to purchase cost more. A good work around to this is to buy items from individuals and independent companies. Sites like ebay have plenty of [...]

Unlinked sites = unjuiced ballplayers August 11, 2008

If you have a great web site or local company site without many incoming links chances are no one is finding you online. This is unfair.
