I would like to acknowledge the recent accomplishment of my favorite hockey team, the Buffalo Sabres: winning the Northeast division of the Eastern Conference! Nice job, guys! For the past two years the Sabres have been just outside the top eight teams that make the playoffs (only missing by a few points!) and so this…
Why Does Everyone Hate Glenn Beck?
I am a Glenn Beck fan. If you weren’t immediately turned off by the title, I’d imagine that at least a handful of readers are now completely done with this post, and—quite likely—done with GregsHead.net entirely. That seems to be the current climate in our country, especially in the political world, and especially surrounding the…
StumbleUpon: Discover Great Stuff
I have a recommendation for you today. A long while ago, I was introduced to a website/technology called StumbleUpon. You may have noticed the little icon down in the “Share this post” bar below… . Well, that’s for StumbleUpon. How it works is, you set up your free account with them, and then bring up…
Mastering Money or Money Is Master?
A couple conversations of late have reminded me of a book I read a while back (at the recommendation of a friend who had really loved it) regarding the management of money. It was (and is) particularly relevant as we are facing mountainous debt (accumulated over many years, and some the result of “questionable” business…
The Unexpected
Sometimes in life we go along thinking that we really know what’s going to happen. We know how the day is going to go, how the week is going to go. We have it mapped out, and it works quite nicely, thank you very much. At times, life plays along, and for the most part,…
Basketball Solitaire?
Everyone is talking basketball these days. It’s March Madness time. Most brackets have been thrown in the trash. Four teams fans are still happy for now. (Including me! Go State!) Well, I guess I’m getting in on the action. After a couple years “off”, I found another friend (with at least a slightly flexible schedule)…
Trololo?
Thanks to a friend of ours, we have now been exposed to an apparent internet phenomenon, a video of a lip-syncing Russian from 1978, singing a song without any words. Yes. You read that right. The reason we know it’s a phenomenon is the incredible number of alternate versions available on YouTube, including this very…
Many Means to an End
This is crazy! Saw this at NHL.com today… #3 Buffalo Sabres would clinch a playoff berth… * if they defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning OR * if they get one point against the Tampa Bay Lightning AND the Atlanta Thrashers lose (in regulation or overtime/shootout) to the Carolina Hurricanes AND the New York Rangers lose…
The (True) Fundamental Transformation of America
I am saddened and frustrated today. Not necessarily by what you might think. We just sent in our census form today, which had me thinking about the role we have given our government (or perhaps, that it has taken) in our lives. Coupled with the passing of the big government health care legislation on Sunday…
Where Do You Get Your News?
In the olden days, Grandpa would read the newspaper every morning to catch up on the latest local, national, and world news. Our parents’ generation tuned their TV sets to the national news from their favorite of the three broadcast networks: ABC, CBS, or NBC. (And of course, just before bed there was the local…
