As I mentioned previously, I got a set of wireless headphones with a mic for my Xbox 360.  I haven’t ventured online with them yet to test out the mic and the separate game/chat volume controls, but I have played a few different games with them.  (I mostly go on Xbox Live for game updates [...]

First things first…  This holiday is not about the tree, the gifts, Santa Claus, or the ham or turkey dinner.  It’s a celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of course, His subsequent death as a sacrifice for our sins.  For that, I celebrate! Christmas was blessed as usual for us.  Great [...]

As promised, here is the limited backstory of how our soon-to-be heroes became agents…  Almost done…  one more brush stroke…  perfect!  Anne Dunwoody has just completed a forgery of Rembrandt’s Night Watch, which was stolen from the Louvre with much fanfare last week.  She knows that what she’s doing is wrong, but she has no [...]

I’m know I’m way late to the party on this, but lately, I’ve been tuning into online radio.  More specifically, AOL Radio powered by CBS Radio.  They even have a “hair metal” station, which is what I listen to most of the time, of course! In line with my last post, here are some soures [...]

As you may have heard, for the second time in my 37 years on earth, one of “my” teams won a championship – the Columbus Crew!  Soccer doesn’t get much coverage here in the states, but there are some very talented writers covering the sport.  One such writer is Steve Sirk, who writes “Sirk’s Notebook” [...]

I’m speaking about the Top Secret role-playing game, in case “big brother” happens to be watching… Now that I’ve got that out of the way, what I’ve found is that the kids – at ages 9 and now 12 – really aren’t ready to play this game like an agent.  They still think in terms [...]
