Joe’s Olympic Adventure: Day 3
Our hero Joe checks in again.
This was our most physically taxing day yet. We got up early to catch a charter bus at the airport. It took a lot longer to get out of the city than we had hoped for. The bus had to stop downtown as well, and people were walking up to [...]
Joe’s Olympic Adventure: Day 2
Joe continues to bring us coverage from Vancouver.
Today was Canada’s day. I went deeper into the sea of red found out how much these people truly love their country.
I was able to sleep in a little today, not having any events in the morning. Since we are close to the Richmond Oval, we walked down [...]
Joe’s Olympic Adventure: Day 1
Guest reporter Joe Neumann continues his adventures in Vancouver.
Vancouver Olympics – Day 1:
Wow, what a day. I woke up in the Mile High City with the weather on the verge of snow, and ended the day in comfortable Vancouver after a very full day. Upon arriving, I could tell this city was ready for a big [...]
Joe’s Olympic Adventure: Day 0

Well, either that, or we found out that Joe was headed to Vancouver and asked if we could hitch our wagon to his trip.

What to Watch for in Baseball, 2010
With the baseball season just around the corner (really – it is!), here are some things to watch in 2010. We’ll likely have a few articles on this topic. The order for these articles will be the ever-popular “whatever happens to pop in my head today”.
The Nationals
All the hoopla was about the signing of Stephen [...]
My Favorites – Winter Olympic Edition
All I have to say about Luge is “Holy Crap”. Imagine going down an ice slope on a sled, on your back, feet first, reaching speeds of 90 miles per hour. You steer with your toes, lift your head just a bit to see where you are going. You stop by sitting [...]

Monetizing
OK, I swear, this is the last article in a long time that will relate to the finances of the site (although I may announce new store offerings occasionally).
I’ve been chasing the dime a bit lately. After nearly 450 articles, the site really hasn’t produced much revenue. Part of the reason for this has been [...]
Product Review: Zen Cart
I recently got consumed with the idea of getting a storefront online. The store will have my fiction eBooks and and, in the future, some audio versions of those books. There will be a lot more about the store tomorrow, so I won’t dwell on the details.
