The Death of Newspapers… Part 1
Well, we've seen story after story about prominent newspapers across the nation publishing it's 'last issue.' Citing financial woes and a lack of interest in its tangible media format, papers in Seattle, Denver and Chicago have closed their doors to vie for readership on the worldwide web. This is the first post in a series that will take a look at the decline of the newspaper industry, how we are to deal with it as intentional media consumers, and what we can expect in the near and distant future. Today's post is simple. I pretty much read everything that Bill Simmons (a.k.a 'The ...
A Cinematic Saturday: Knowing
Recently, my wife and I saw the movie 'Knowing,' starring Nicholas Cage. The film is an apocalyptic action/suspense flick much like 'The Day After Tomorrow' and the like. Cage plays an astrophysics professor at MIT whose son becomes involved with the sequence of events that will eventually end the world.

In any case, after leaving the theater and thinking about the film, I've come to a few ...
NBA Eastern Conference Playoff Preview
Every once in a while (about once a week or so), I'll post an article I've written about some issue in sports. It's a hobby and a pretty fun outlet, so enjoy... In the NBA Eastern Conference, there are three teams… and then everyone else. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the only team in the league with 60 wins, Boston (the defending champs, by the way) are taking everyone’s best shot and sitting in second place, while the Magic have one of the most dynamic teams, and players, we’ve seen in a while. With just under two weeks left in the season, the ...
Enter Spring: Severe Weather in Kansas
Well, with the coming of spring in the central United States comes the threat of severe weather. Right now, at 2:47 PM CST, I'm looking out at a gray sky... the calm before the coming storm. We had sustained winds of 30 mph, gusts to 50 mph, this morning. Now, it's calmed down a bit... I have a few fun things for you all this afternoon. First, a little video from AccuWeather.com. Every once in a while, when there's a good storm-a-brewin', I check out meteorologist Henry Margusity's vlog 'Meteorological Madness.' It's pretty in-depth and just fun to look at when ...
Weekend Update
Hello Everyone! This is Nisse!! We've been doing a lot of work in the yard when we have the time. This is the latest of what we've been able to get accomplished. We're slowly making progress. We should be able to start seeding the front yard at the end of March. We're both looking forward to spring and warm weather. We'd love to hear from you:) [flashvideo file=/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/vid00012.flv /]
