Going Deep: Dance with the WR who brung ya

First off, best wishes to all of you as you progress through the playoffs in your leagues. I would like to think that Fantasy College Blitz is your General Sherman of college football knowledge leading many in a scorched earth policy through the southern portion of the fantasy college football landscape. Speaking of Southern references, I am a big proponent of the concept that this time of year is like the annual cotillion after the harvest. Or your own personal homecoming dance. Just don’t ov

Video -- Cupid Vs. Cupid, Cannavale vs. Piven, You Decide

  I got both of them for you, but first ... (ABC via TheFutonCritic.com): Production has begun in New York on "Cupid," a new romantic dramedy coming to ABC this season. In "Cupid," Trevor is a larger than life character who may or may not be the Roman god of love, Cupid. Trevor insists that he was sent to earth to bring couples together. As fate would have it, he is under the care of famous psychologist and self-help author Dr. Claire Allen, who is also dedicated to helping lonely hearts fin

Out of the Fjord

Into the Blight… That’s right, I finally made it (officially?) to Dragonblight.. I’ve been there before and had the flight points due to instancing, etc, but this was the first time I went there knowing I was running out (well, maybe not) of quest hubs in HF. This morning I looked and I find I’ve missed a few hubs and should go back.. We’ll see.. :P  I also haven’t gone too far in Borean Tundra. I should also go do the quests there before I get too high level for them to matter.. So, anyw

David Blaine Ruins Everything

David Blaine seems to have fully recovered from his Drop of Death Gone Wrong '08 and even scored himself an invitation to last night's NYC premiere of Milk. Seriously? The event hosted all of Hollywood's popular (and good-looking) leading men and David Effing Blaine was invited? This is an outrage. Not only did Blaine cause the event to lose major street cred — he also adversely affected the attractiveness of every male in attendance. Seriously, what the hell happened to these guys? Even Chac

Some Toad Records News Updates

In advance of the official release dates for Song, by Toad Records things there has been a slow and steady trickle of good news from the media outlets to whom we have submitted our stuff. We just found out last night that both Stuart Maconie and Gideon Coe have played songs from the Meursault album which is, frankly, fucking brilliant. Is This Music? have given both Meursault and eaglowl records fantastic reviews, so massive thanks to both Ed and Brian for those. Crack Magazine gave the M

[ You Could Bottle It Up ]

At first I thought if I were to pen this out, tentunya Along disalahertikan sebagai seorang yang selfish. Which I hope I am not. Which I wish I will not. Which I am certain that this is just a phase.. in me.. so please, don't judge. I'm well aware Jemah; the roommate cum co-driver to work cum colleague cum good friend is days away from her big day. Having known her fiance, Izan quite for awhile now, I'm happy that they will both walk the walk soon and I would definitely won't mi

2009 Holes

Catcher: Filled long term.  Kenji Johjima is under contract for three more seasons, Jeff Clement has five or six years under team control, and Adam Moore should be ready for MLB action towards the end of 2009.  Rob Johnson is Major League ready as well if the team ever decides to with a defensive backstop. First Base:  Hole.  Dennis Raben is Seattle’s current “first baseman of the future,” but isn’t expected to be ready for MLB starting duties for another 2-3 seasons.  Beyond Raben the organiz

It just goes to show.

Joel Splosky is a bit sick of anecdotes as science: Whether it’s Thomas Friedman, who, it seems, cannot go a whole week without inventing a new fruit-based metaphor explaining everything about the entire modern world, all based on some random jibberish he misunderstood from a taxi driver in Kuala Lumpur, or Malcolm Gladwell with his weak theories on tipping points, crazy incorrect theories on first impressions, or utterly lunatic theories on experts, it all becomes insanely popular simply bec

Nets Collapse in Face of Cav Onslaught

Nets Collapse in Face of Cav Onslaught November 19, 2008, 12:15 am After playing the 8-2 Cavs to a standstill during the first half, the Nets went into sleep mode in the second half, scoring only 30 points to Cleveland’s 57 and turning a close game into a 24-point rout. The Nets once again failed to guard the perimeter–they’re last in the league in perimeter defense–and the Cavs took advantage, hitting 10 of 17. The beginning of the third quarter spelled the Nets’ demise. Mo Williams tied the

eBay Discovers Keyword Stuffing

eBay have discovered good ol’ fashioned keyword stuffing. Surely some mistake? For my non-SEO geek readers, keyword stuffing is a spammy old-school SEO trick. It fell out of favour with most SEOs soon after the Declaration of American Independence. Google’s webmaster guidelines say… “Keyword stuffing” refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords in an attempt to manipulate a site’s ranking in Google’s search results. Filling pages with keywords results in a negative user exp

Arizona press briefing

[myspace][/myspace] The Oregon State football team’s preparation for Saturday’s game against Arizona begins with dealing with a potent offense. The Wildcats have talent in all areas. QB Willie Tuitama is a strong-armed veteran, WR Mike Thomas is a big-play guy and the two RBs of Nic Grigsby and Keola Antolin balance the offense. However, sophomore TE Rob Gronkowski is the game planning problem. He’s a 6-foot-6, 260 pounder with good hands. He has 34 catches for 500 yards and eight TDs. “The

biz markie + sampling + stolen teachings.

Veronica Mars: Remember Neptune?

John linked to this the other day, but in case you didn’t click it, here’s an excerpt from the Onion AV Club’s interview with Kristin Bell. AVC: So if Rob Thomas turned in a Veronica Mars movie script—as he’s been hinting he might—it’s safe to assume you’d do it. KB: Shit, yes! Rob works on the same lot where Heroes is filmed, and I actually went to his office just the other day. Honestly, I was just planning to rearrange his desk and freak him out. [Laughs.] But he was in there, so we talked
