Casey — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:35:30 +0000

Yeah, my posts have been sporadic at best. And I may have put on a contest only so people would remember my blog. I HAVE NO SHAME! See, things have been busy. I’m trying to move out to Los Angeles and I’ve been preoccupied with applying to jobs 3,000 miles away. I’ve also been trying [...]

Contest Team Assignments

Casey — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:51:51 +0000

I’m going to do the team assignments in two steps. First I will randomize the entries to determine your number, then I will enter the playoff teams and match up that number with your number. Each randomization will happen three times. Here we go: So there you have the numbers. Now onto the team assignments: [...]

Casey — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 04:07:32 +0000

Okay, so I am finally back from my little trip out to Los Angeles. It was mostly a pleasure trip but also a sort of scouting trip because I am toying with the idea of moving there. But that is neither here nor there. Here is my list of cards I would get if I [...]

I had a blast reading through everyone’s theoretical $1600 eBay spree. Looking at these various lists gave me a better understanding and appreciation of what everyone is into. Also, [...]

Marathon Bombers, Boston, and a Contest

Casey — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:31:27 +0000

I am currently sitting in Logan Airport waiting for a flight to Los Angeles that I wasn’t sure was going to happen today. Driving through Boston about an hour ago (on a bus) was surreal. Boston is a ghost town right now although there seems to be a few resilient folks out going on with [...]

Montreal Canadiens

Casey — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:31:28 +0000

I may strongly dislike most of the players on the team, but I have always respected the organization. EDIT: And the same goes for Nashville, Phoenix, Calgary, and Chicago (even though I don’t dislike any of these teams in particular).
