So, i have been reading (a little bit) recently about Chris Hansen's purported desire to build an arena.
The plan's massive catch is the desire for both an NBA team (which he would try to buy) and an NHL team (which Hansen seems to have no interest in buying). i read that as an IFF contidion (if and only if). i really don't see that many relocation candidates on the market in either sport.

So i Have Been Thinking About Tablets Again...
For some reason the concept of eventually getting a Tablet PC came up in my mind again. i have been looking at the current crop of tablets on the market. What did i find out? i found out that the tablet with all the features i would like to have is not on the market at my price range. So, if i do wind up eventually purchasing one, i would have to compromise on some things. Here is some of the criteria i used

If Seattle got an NBA/NHL team (Delusional Daydream)
i visited a Seattle Mariners fan blog recently (initialled LL) and they had a post on what to name a team if Seattle got an NBA and NHL franchise (speculated to be Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Coyotes).
That got me thinking.. what would i do if i hit a massive Powerball/MegaMillions jackpot (easily clearing $150 million after taxes). Now you see why i used the term "delusional daydream". If i had that much money, it would be kind of fun to own part of a sports franchise (minority interest).

My Blogger Stats: Part 2
So, i was looking at my Blogger stats again today... In my last post, i listed the 54 or so "countries" that i had gotten page views from. It is now up to 56 (Switzerland and another one). But, there has to be more than page views in the stats - right? Well it turns out there is.
February: Plea for Slight Name Change
February is one of the most annoying months to say out loud. It is also kind of a freak month (having the fewest days). Here are some things i don't get/like about Febraury as it currently stands.
* Why does it only have 28 (or 29 days)? There are 7 months with 31 days, couldn't 2 of them be downgraded to 30 days? It would make more sense (at least to me).
* i am not a big fan of leap year either. Apparently that occurs because the Earth's revolution takes about 365 days and 6 hours (wikipedia.org). i would rather be "off" by a couple of days that remember that most 4 year periods will have a leap year. The calendar is not exactly infallable anyway.
February is a stupid month name. i propose eliminating the first "R". Most people don't pronounce it anyway. Lets anglicize the month name a little more.

Febraury Snow Storm
So i'm a little late with this post. There was a snowstorm here on Friday and Saturday. The snow storm, happening in February, was given the highly original name "Febraury Snow Storm".
Super Bowl 2012: My Reaction
So the Super Bowl is over (big deal in the US). Two football teams (the US version) played each other in a relatively boring game. So how did i feel about this sloppily played Super Bowl?
* This was Super Bowl XLVI (or 46). After a while using Roman Numerals gets kind of pretentious. i guess this might be the only real use for Roman Numerals anymore.
* New York vs. Boston - i can't think of two cities i dislike more. San Francisco vs Boston would have been better.
* Commericals: too many car commercials (though the best commercial in my opinion was the Ferris Bueller one that leaked before the Super Bowl). For the most part, the commercials sucked.
* Football (american) is one of the games i consider kind of boring. i mean the sheer amount of time they spend killing the clock is insane. You have to love sports when you have a one game championship or playoff (sarcastic)
* The game was played fairly sloppy. It wasn't that exciting of a game (though the game was decided by 4 points concluding in a last second chance to change the outcome).
