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).
