NFL Notes

So you don’t believe in the Jags? Jacksonville (4-2) owns Quality wins over of the Bengals, Seahawks and at Pittsburgh, with their losses coming to Denver and Indy. They boast a top-five defense, which held mighty Peyton Manning to only 175 yards. Also, go ahead and count on the them being in the playoffs: They don’t play another team that currently has a winning record.

I do belive in the Panthers and Bucs. Both were accidentally left off my top 10 and both are better than the Bengals and Chargers. Dallas’s division is too tough, though. Bledsoe is destined to get hurt. That said, how many good running backs did Parcells acquire?

Sony h.earâ„¢ Stereo Headphones MDR-J10/BLUE

Sony MDRJ10 EarbudsWhat a piece of junk. This is the second pair of these Sony earbuds that has broken on me, and I am forced to use those branding white iPod earbuds. I hate wearing those, its like wearing a badge that says, “Look at me, I’m hip! I’m on the bandwagon, hooray!” They also say, in large letters, “Hi, if you want to rob me, it will be worth your time.”

So I replaced the white earbuds with normal black earbuds. Well, blue earbuds to be exact.

And this morning they broke. The wire to the left bud snapped. It didn’t come out at a soldered joint, it just snapped right in the middle of the wire. There was no bend or crease, or point of wear where it broke. It just broke – right in the middle – just like the last pair I of these Sony earbuds I owned. I guess you get what you pay for, and these were only $10.

On a superstitious note, the last time my earbuds busted was just before Leslie got a job. Maybe this is some kind of omen.

Technorati Tags

This is mainly a test post to see how the Technorati tagging feature I just added is working.

What is Technorati?

from the Technorati: About Us page:

Technorati is a real-time search engine that keeps track of what is going on in the blogosphere – the world of weblogs.

Technorati displays what’s important in the blogosphere – which bloggers are commanding attention, what ideas are rising in prominence, and the speed at which these conversations are taking place. Technorati makes it possible for you to find out what people on the Internet are saying about you, your company, your products, your competitors, your politics, or other areas of interest – all in real-time. All this activity is monitored and indexed within minutes of posting. Technorati provides a live view of the global conversation of the web.

I’m using Bunny’s Technorati Tags plugin to display the tags. If you authors want to add tags, there’s a new text box on the “Post an article” page.

Adios, San Antonio

WASHINGTON – The Washington Post reports the NFL will consider relocating the Saints to Los Angeles if New Orleans is unable to recover from Hurricane Katrina.

The newspaper cites three sources familiar with the league’s deliberation on the matter.

The Saints have been based in San Antonio since they were forced out of the Crescent City by the damaging August hurricane.

But the sources say the league has no interest in the Texas city as a permanent home for the club.

Los Angeles is the second-largest television market in the country and has been without an NFL team since the Raiders moved back to Oakland after the 1994 season.

Wiliam Shatner’s Has Been

I was running late this morning and in a crabby mood because I had nothing to wear.

As I set out walking to work, I hit the Shuffle Songs button on the iPod. The first song that came on was Nelly’s Ride Wit Me, which I promptly skipped. The first song off William Shatner’s newest album Has Been was next. And it immediately brightened my day.

One, two…..zis on?

Well, I have the dubious honour of posting capabilities, so here it is. From waaaaay over the Atlantic, I’m here to tell you….I just accidentally squashed chocolate down my T-shirt. It seems the kids were at my desk earlier playing on the computer, and left some chocolate crumbs on the desk. I’ve been squished against the edge of my desk for the past couple of hours playing DAOC. pulled back and noticed melted chocolate everywhere. Another T-shirt for the wash. I’m going through loads this week. It seems I put one on clean, and about 3 hours later I’m taking it off because I/the kids/the cat spilled something/put dirty hands/wiped dirty paws on me.

This week is the first time I’ve played DAOC for about 2 years. My how everything is changed, and yet remains the same. Loads of new graphical bits, spells and stuff – but the same old childish chat in the battleground /cg, lol.

I don’t know if I’ll stick around past the 10 days free play – there’s no-one left I know, and I really don’t have the time or commitment to find a new guild, etc. Surprised to see the MT guild house still there, but I hear it’s going to decay soon. I can’t pay the rent because I don’t have permission!

My 100th Post

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to stay interested in posting to this blog format for any length of time. But this post marks my 100th post.

Each and every post has been pure quality, too.

Yeah right.

In honor of the 100th post, here is this little annoying thing that is going around, which assigns a monetary value to your site, based on the links and references to it, indexed by Technorati:
