I’ve been writing my main site for six years now. Not all of it has been in a blog format, but the majority has been. It’s been an interesting experiment. I opened up this website as an experimental place, where I can write about whatever comes to mind and where I can play with technical [...]

Growing up in Connecticut, I wasn’t the typical choice to be a NASCAR fan. There were plenty of professional sports just down the road in New York City, so it wasn’t like I was lacking in sports to watch. I saw plenty of Mets games in person and on WWOR. One Jets game in person [...]

Generally, I’m jaded about the Internet. I feel like I’ve seen everything there is to see. Certainly I never go “web surfing” anymore like I did in the early days of being online. Thanks to the Ultimate Mets Database though, I was able to look up my first MLB Box Score, from the Cubs @ [...]

Thank you Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream book… the greatest ice cream book EVER. The keys to making great homemade ice cream that I’ve found so far: Spend the money on the KitchenAid Ice Cream Attachment for your mixer. It’s well worth it. Use 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of 1% milk. [...]

The Tallahassee Democrat has an editorial today about the amount of money sent towards the FSU Football program and the lack of money spent on academics at FSU thanks to the Florida Legislature. I understand their point, but the logic of the editorial is horrible flawed. Their points: FSU Football gets X amount of dollars [...]
