FIX: “Violation of Primary Key Constraint” – I usually don’t link out to stuff like this. But if I have to stay up all night Saturday night reading this stuff, you should at least have to acknowledge the link. The Most Influential Websites in the World – I’m actually happy my blog isn’t listed there. Gives me something to shoot for in aught 10! Time to postpone Copenhagen – I   Read More ...

I’m thankful that wrestling interviews and promo videos have come so far since the 80s.

From People of Walmart. I’m not ashamed to say that I think this is the coolest jacket I’ve ever seen.

Union troubled by Eagle Scout project in Allentown – How dare you do something for free that these guys won't do for less than $15/hour! Bernanke reassures markets on dollar – Uh-oh. The dreaded "vote of confidence." That means there's a committee already formed to find a new coach.

Well, clouds were low, so we couldn’t see every second, but it was nice weather to be out at the beach to watch the Atlantis launch for STS-129. And it was so windy that we never actually heard the launch. Here’s a better video from closer up of the July 4, 2006 launch.

Before my grandfather passed on, he took the time to write down some of the stories and experiences of his life. What a great gift to our family! My favorite stories are the ones from his time serving in Pacific with the Army during World War II. This one, which I posted elsewhere last year, is one of my favorites and is worth recycling. Even though it’s a very short   Read More ...

We Need Your Help Finding The Savings – I think I caught the gist of the bill in the first few words where it says, "and for other purposes". That’s a cannon of a pistol | No Silence Here | knoxnews.com – The ever-accurate media. android-scripting – I can't wait until I have some time.

There’s a throwback high school baseball game coming to Knoxville. In April 2010, Farragut and Karns will play a game to benefit Parkinson’s research. I got the heads up from my one of my rugby buddies, Pat Dorwin. Pat played on the 1982 Farragut State Championship team and later was a fixture for the Knoxville Possums. One word to describe Pat–”wheels”. Both Pat and his younger brother have both been   Read More ...

For your Fun Friday pleasure… Thank God I’m a Country Boy…Yeah!!!

Next to nothing. A rugby club is set to celebrate Guy Fawkes night round a large TV after health and safety forced organisers to use footage of a bonfire rather than the real thing. Organisers at Ilfracombe Rugby Club in Devon say they were put off having a real fire by the ”mountain” of paperwork and regulations set by council chiefs. With a few exceptions, rugby players aren’t generally known   Read More ...

Twitter Shenanigans in Brevard County – I suspect someone may be overestimating their relevancy. I just haven't been here long enough to determine who that is in this case. Welcome to Marikafka County, Arizona – Where the only way you can protect your attorney/client privilege is to waive your attorney/client privilege. This video of a court official stealing documents from a defense attorney's desk is unbelievable. Even more insane is   Read More ...

That’s the valuable time I won’t spend watching this show. I appreciate the fact that they made me not want to watch it in the first episode instead of doing something like Heroes did–making me invest two pretty good seasons of sitting slack jawed in front of television only to become unwatchable. Yeah, I’m that guy who can stop reading a book 175 pages in. Not even a glimpse of   Read More ...

And he didn’t give attribution. And he hated irony! Suggestion for The Tennessean — put as many of your internets as will fit into the trunk of your Prius, drive them over to Al Gore’s house (the lights are on), and leave them on a porch with a note telling him you don’t really know how they work.
