For the Second Time in my Life, I was Saved by Hip-Hop

I learned more about Keynesian Economics and Laissez-faire Economics in this faux-Hip-Hop video than I learned in College. (Seriously)

Pro Bore::2009

Filed under: Football,RantsJeremy @ 9:41:31 PM
From the "Grown-Men-Playing-Flag-Football" Department

When I learned that this year’s NFL Pro-Bowl was being hosted BEFORE the Super Bowl, I was skeptical.

First, what NFL minded fan would watch the Pro-Bowl in the week hiatus between the NFC/AFC Championships, and the Super Bowl.

I wondered how the Sports Talking Heads would pull this off.

Super Bowl Extra-Large IntraVenous

Filed under: FootballJeremy @ 7:47:46 PM
From the "X-L-I-V" Department

Super Bowl XLIV was either going to be a close game, or a blowout, depending on if the NFC Champion showed up. In the first quarter, I think most people thought it was going to be more of the latter.
But then another team showed up wearing New Orleans uniforms.

And it was the team we were hoping to see, the aggressive New Orleans Saints, and it was the team that, in the end, won the Super Bowl.

WordPress 2.9.2

From the "Two-Point-Nine-Point-Two" Department

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com successfully updated to WordPress 2.9.2.

This did not look like a big deal to me, as there is only one-and-a-half authors on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com, and no one really uses the Users feature. (I’m looking at you Cisco.)
But there is always a chance for some user to register when The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com are not watching.

Air Rage

Filed under: Mindless Banter,RantsJeremy @ 1:39:06 AM
From the "No, I-don't-play-basketball, do-you-play-miniature-golf?" Department

I was reading my blog diet, last night, and I came across this non-political article on Michelle Malkin’s site:
Romney in air rage scare

The long story, short. The former governor and his wife were retuning home from the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics, and when the passenger in front, reclined his chair. Romney asked the other passenger to not do so, for his own personal comfort.

Mitt Romney is 6’2″, tall enough to be uncomfortable in a normal airline seat. (I do not know if Romney was traveling in First Class, and I have no idea what the legroom is in First Class, as I have yet to travel in such “luxury”.)

Anyways, the other passenger became violent.

As you may know, I’ve been in pursuit of non-chickified cocktails.
And trying to un-chickify the Manhattan.

Anyways, The-Evil-Doctor-Merlin-Channing-Lowe-Jr. pointed me to this Fox News article:

IE8

From the "No, I'm-not-really-praising-Microsoft" Department

Say what you want about Internet Explorer 8, it changed my world in the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Geek-O-Sphere.

For YEARS, I could not get Internet Explorer 7 to work on my sole Windows PC in the Geek-O-Sphere. Of the *counting* 4 working PCs, The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com have only one Windows PC, and it runs Windows Vista.
