Check out the new Simpsons Sidebar Jeopardy located to the right just under my profile. Test your Simpsons knowledge against other fans. It should make for a fun break from work or studying. If you're the first to answer correctly, you can even choose the next category.Check back often to continue competing as I will keep a running list of the contestants and their winnings.

No, I'm not referring to the University of North Carolina, although they share that same title. I'm referring to myself as I have officially won my CBS Sportsline NCAA Tournament Pool. I beat out 8 tough competitors (ok, some obviously have never watched college basketball before) by picking 45/63 games correctly including the entire first round of the Albuquerque bracket, both teams for the

I really can't stand the way some people drive and I find myself wanting to destroy countless drivers each and every time I'm out on the roads. Obviously, the problem is not me, so I'm making this post to inform and educate everybody about a few little known facts abouts driving.1) If you're parking on the side of a street, pull all the way up to the car in front of you (if there is one), don't

Has anyone else noticed that Apple has blown their entire marketing budget on making sure everyone watching the NCAA tournament buys an iPod Shuffle? There was a brief fifteen minute period when I actually wanted to download, I mean buy, that song. The only problem is that period was during the first half of the Michigan State/Old Dominion game back in the first round. After watching that damn

After months of declining stock value, leadership "resignations", increased (and arguably better) competition, Tivo has finally signed a deal with Comcast to provide Tivo software in Comcast set-top boxes. For those of you who don't know, up until today's announcement, Tivo was widely viewed as being in a "sink or swim" situation. With cable and satellite companies rolling out their own

The seedings are now set and it's time to fill out your brackets for the 2005 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. I have started my own pool on CBS Sportsline and have extended invitations to around 20 people. If you were invited, I hope you will join and enter your picks before 11:00am on Thursday. I know people will wait till the last minute, but once you enter your picks, you can still make

This isn't my first MP3 player, but it might as well be since I didn't use my previous one much, mainly because it was a Sony and they had this bitchy anti-piracy software you had to use which made things really complicated. So, this is my review of my first real MP3 player. Here are some of the main features. I'll go through each one to explain what it is and my thoughts on it.Samsung YP-T7Z

Yes, I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm lazy, so shut your bitch. Anyways, a few weeks ago Meghan and I were looking for a parking spot in downtown Ann Arbor. There were no spots on the street so we found a pay lot (not a garage one, just an outdoor lot). When we pulled up, there was a car in front of us just waiting in front of the gate (the barrier that raises and lowers to let

I recently found this commercial and it is hilarious. It's a japanese commercial for SOCOM - a military video game for Playstation 2. My favorite part is the delivery guy caught in the crossfire. Also, the fact that it is completely in Japanese makes it even more funny to me.Before watching the commercial, you should know that SOCOM allows players to compete online in two teams of eight each.

I thought that creating a direct link to the message board would be enough to persuade you lazy-asses to go post on it. However, I must have over-estimated you. So, now I have eliminated that one burdensome click by putting a comment box on Scott's Blogtastic Blog (see right column). It doesn't get much easier than this, but it's nowhere near as cool or advanced as the message board. I hate you

As requested, I have created a message board for people to post whatever they want on. There is a permanent link to it on the right, but here is a quick link for all you lazy-asses: Message Board. I have also added a calendar feature for anyone to use. You can suggest events to be added to keep track of whatever's going on (post your birthdays, please). Here is the link: Calendar. Enjoy.

Have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon? Feel like driving in a blizzard to sit in a metal folding chair at a local middle school gym? Then you will enjoy reading about what I did yesterday. A few of my friends play on an adult intramural basketball team. So, at the request of soon-to-be-a-father Dave, I stopped by to check out the action.Although the opposing team led almost the entire

Blockbuster has been sued by the Attorney General's office of the filthy, dirty state of New Jersey. They are saying that the new "No Late Fees" program is deceptive to consumers because Blockbuster: 1) charges a $1.25 "restocking fee;" 2) charges you for the price of the movie if kept beyond the 1 week grace period; and 3) because Blockbuster is a franchise and each franchise can choose whether

I found this relatively old news and thought it would be a good follow up to our cookie discussion. Note that this text was taken from the website of the law firm involved in the defense, so it is somewhat defense-oriented.MINNEAPOLIS – (Jan. 3, 2004) – A lawsuit that made headlines around the world has been dismissed.

You need only 2 things: 1) a phone, 2) my phone number (sorry if you don't know me, but if I posted my number online, I'm sure it would be ringing off the hook with the millions of fans who frequent this site).

If you haven't heard about this story check out this article before reading further. I watched a Court TV segment addressing the "Cookie" Lawsuit. They spoke to three people involved in the lawsuit: The plaintiff, her husband, and their attorney. I'll refer to the woman who sued as "the plaintiff" and the teenage girls as "the defendants." Here are some of my notes from the show: - Incident

As a result of your votes (67% said to go to Trivia Night), I chose to hang out with my girlfriend and then go to trivia (no pictures because I forgot to bring the camera). However, only 2 other people showed up, Jaimie and her brother Trevor. Trevor is held in high regard with the members of our trivia team and was a welcome addition last night. Here's a breakdown on the team members and why

I need your help. I have a purely hypothetical question that I just randomly thought of. Say you spent the entire weekend immediately before Valentine's day with your girlfriend/boyfriend. Let's also say that you both agreed to "celebrate" Valentine's Day on Saturday night by making dinner together, exchanging gifts, and hanging out. Would you then feel compelled to spend the entire night

This is almost a week old, but Dave, Patty, Max, Moto and myself attended the Michigan game versus #1 ranked Illinois last Tuesday. Although Michigan led for most of the game, the last 6 minutes were owned by the Illinois defense and Michigan lost 57-51.Aside from Dave yelling at Tommy Amaker, the only other interesting part was these two fat, ugly Illinois fans (both girls) who believed that

Lots of people know my twin brother, Kevin. He is currently enrolled at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business pursuing an MBA. But few people know he enjoyed a brief but memorable stint on the TV show "The Wonder Years." Kevin played the main character named "Kevin Arnold." In fact, Kevin's off-screen personality was so similar to that of Kevin Arnold, that the writers and show

Ok, so we didn't move up to 5th like I had promised, but we did place 8th out of 31 teams. It should have been 7th place because we learned that the second place team, a team with no one younger than 30, had 11 players and a current newspaper to aid them on the sports trivia (they were all Zoids). Although this is supposedly strictly forbidden (team size is limited to 5), this did not stop
