Modern Family gets the family dynamic right
There are very few TV shows that Amy and I watch. I like The Office and American Idol. I also watch Heroes, not so much because I like it, but because I’ve seen every episode and I’ve dedicated myself to stick with it until the end (which hopefully is soon because it hasn’t been good since Season 1). We also watch Man Vs. Food on the Travel Network and occasionally some shows...

I've Been Swimming Upstream
I am currently doing my 3rd round of P90X®. I was hoping to trim some fat from around my waist (I have a genetic issue where it seems all my fat is stored in my hips, giving me love handles).
The other couple times through the program I didn’t pay that much attention to what I ate, but this time I decided to monitor my food intake. I started this round weighing in at 205.5lbs. My goal was...

JQuery and ASP.Net Validation Summary working...
First off, thanks goes out to the delphic sage for his article on using JQuery and the ASP.Net validation controls. This is almost what I was wanting to do.
But not quite. What I was looking for was a way to animate the actual validation summary display rather than the individual validation controls.
After looking at the sage’s sample of overriding the display of the individual controls, I...

Can we have a "Coming Out" day for all MLB steroid...
With the recent admission by Mark McGwire that he used steroids as a MLB player with the Oakland A’s and Stl. Cardinals, the sports radio hosts, the sports writers and bloggers have re-hashed the same old discussion. It’s the same discussion they had when Alex Rodriguez admitted, the same one when Clemens was accused (although to this day he still denies it), and the same one with...

Thanks to Alabama, I'm Hopeful for the Irish!
Thank you Alabama!
Several analysts and die hard fans (both Irish fans and haters) alike question whether Notre Dame will ever be a national powerhouse in college football again. Having not won a National Title since 1988 they have continued down a slippery slope of mediocrity. There were some very good years in the 90s and a couple decent years in the 00s but for the most part the Irish have...

An interesting night indeed
It started out fairly normal. Got a call from my brother-in-law to go see a movie. Right as I was hanging up the phone someone from work was trying to give away two tickets to the Illinois/Northwestern game.
Since free is a good price I called my brother-in-law to see if he wanted to do that instead. He agreed so we headed to the U of I (I’d still really like to see Sherlock Holmes sometime...
