Top Music of 2009

It's time for my top albums of 2009. I didn't have a whole lot of time to listen to full albums this year, so my second half of this post will be dedicated to singles I like. It's not how I would prefer to listen to music but hey, it's...

Quick Thoughts on SB.43

Great game. I was a little sad that the Cards lost, but really I was rooting for a good game more than anything and that's what I got. Some thoughts: Warner was mostly great. Clearly outplayed Roethlisberger, but was done in by a myriad of penalties...

The Super Bowl and The Boss

Last year around this time I gave some predictions on what Tom Petty might perform at halftime of the Super Bowl. This year, Bruce Springsteen is playing and I have to say -- I don't get it. Sure, I think he's a perfectly fine choice and understand...

Lollapalooza 2008 Review

This past weekend, I went to the massive Lollapalooza festival in Grant Park. Three long days and dozens of bands later, I am completely and utterly wiped out. No matter, it was a great time. What follows is a recap of my virtually sports-free experience...

Stuff I Like: Podcasts

I love my iPod. I held out for the longest time in getting one. I used to be an "early adopter" with new technology, but that sort of fell by the wayside as I moved into my late 20s. This also coincides with the time that iPods started taking...

Super Predictions

The 42nd edition of the Big Game is Sunday, and I'm going to state right now that this game is a win-win for me. My reasoning is simple. If the Patriots win, they'll shut up the New York Giants -- a team I despise. They'll also shut up the...
