The Lebron/MJ Debate Is Over For years now, my friend Chris and I have had a running debate over who is the greatest basketball player of all time. Now, Chris is one of my favorite people on this Earth and he is one of the brightest computer minds I know (in fact, he designed my […]
It Might Not Be Fake News, But It Sure Is Stupid I’m just old enough to remember the days of Walter Cronkite serving as the anchorman of the CBS Evening News. His nightly sign off wasn’t sexy and stylish, but it was effective. After each program, he would simply say, “And that’s the way it […]
You Wanna Bet??? Good morning, Las Vegas. How are you feeling today, you know, after that gut punch you got earlier this week from the US Supreme Court? It can’t be easy knowing that you now have to share the gambling spotlight with New Jersey and every other state that would like to legalize sports […]
Pretending to Be Offended Would somebody please tell me when we all became so damn sensitive about absolutely everything? Just when did we forget to laugh at life’s little absurdities every once in a while and recognize that satire encourages a healthy dialogue on the stereotypes it relies upon?

Which is precisely why the recent revelations regarding data trolling and Russian hacking have me just about set to soil my knickers. This is some scary stuff, folks: worthy, I’d say, of yet another two part series in […]
Fed Up With All Those Hidden Fees If you know me well, you know I hate to fly. I don’t mind the craziness of the airport, or having to stay seated for several hours at a time with little legroom, or even the loud children who always seem to have a propensity for banging the […]
There Must Be a Test for That Well, the kids and I just got back from a week of Spring Break in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and for those of you who care, we had a lovely time, thank you very much. We visited Mt. Rushmore, walked through one of the world’s largest […]

But I also don’t necessarily […]
