By junior on March 13, 2008, at 9:16 pm Parts of Hulk 2 (due for release in June of 2008, starring Ed Norton and Liv Tyler) were filmed here in Hamilton last fall. The Hulk 2 Movie Trailer is now available online (go clicky on the link). Many of the scenes featuring destruction in the streets that are shown in this trailer were filmed […]
By junior on March 13, 2008, at 6:41 pm I wrote a post the other day about the Leafs/Flyers game on Wednesday night, listening to it on the radio, and the memories that awakened for me about following my teams as a kid; in particular, I wrote a little about listening to the radio broadcasts of Windsor Spitfires games.
First, a correction: the games […]
By junior on March 13, 2008, at 9:55 am As if Leaf fans needed more discouraging news, here comes the science. Who knew the “power tie” concept would find its way into sports?
But hey, they won last night! They’re now five points back of eighth place. Still, the observation by Leaf broadcaster, former backup goalie and chief bagpipe player Glenn Healy that the […]
By junior on March 12, 2008, at 4:03 pm Back in the mid-1970s, when I was about seven or eight years old, I built a crystal radio set. The radio came in a kit, and I got it as a gift, I think probably for my birthday. Building the radio was fun, and I learned a little bit about electronics and how radios work; […]
By junior on March 11, 2008, at 2:27 pm Evidently, the poor (on-ice) performance of the Leafs is being cited as a contributing cause to the cancellation of certain CBC programming (via bitterleaf):
Apparently, without the playoff revenues generated by the large audiences that tune into post-season Leaf broadcasts, the CBC can’t afford to keep crap quality programming like Hockey Wives and Jpod on […]
By junior on March 10, 2008, at 3:43 pm Wired has a lengthy rememberance of Dungeons & Dragons creator Gary Gygax here.
Certain to cause Spouse’s eyes to jump out of her head and a significant amount of associated sputtering is the following passage from the article:
Many trace the origin of war games to a 1913 work by H. G. Wells titled […]
By junior on March 10, 2008, at 2:12 pm You may recall when I did this:
Announcing today, the First Annual HiR:tb Saskatchewan Roughriders Poetry Contest. Entries may assume any lyrical or poetic form; your creativity should know no bounds in this matter. Send us your haikus, your limericks, your sonnets and couplets; gather together your spondees, trochees and whatever pentameter you can scrape […]
By junior on March 9, 2008, at 9:15 pm I learned about this project, a bloggers’ book to benefit Warchild from Mike. Quite apart from the fact that I think “Warchild” sounds like an excellent name for a heavy metal band from Ohio (reason enough to participate if you ask me), the actual real purpose of the charity sounds like an excellent idea. Accordingly, […]
By junior on March 9, 2008, at 10:30 am We, um, got a little bit of snow here in the Hammer. It snowed Friday night and then again all day Saturday. I didn’t go outside when it was storming, because it was cold and not very nice out there. I did stick my head out the back door for a couple of minutes to […]
By junior on March 8, 2008, at 10:54 pm Hope to add some pictures tomorrow of the massive amount of snow that has descended upon the ol’ homestead. Haven’t started shovelling it yet; it won’t stop falling from the sky!
