Explosion Behind HSBC Arena

…about 1000 yards from where I’m sitting. Here’s the first story I see on it. I heard the boom, but that sort of noise (with the construction and industry around here) isn’t out of the ordinary. And no, if I die, you cannot have my stuff.

Cheapskates: $1 Bus Fares to NYC, Toronto

Megabus has started service between Buffalo and Binghamton, Toronto and NYC, in case you were not aware. The trick is, you can get tickets as low as $1 each way depending on when you search and how much demand there is for the trip. I just did a search, and could go round-trip [...]

Office Spaced

A California man used an automated script to sign up for more than 58,000 Google Checkout, Paypal, brokerage and other online accounts that use deposit verification techniques, and got sent $58,000. Think Office Space. It would’ve worked, except:

Hey Penguins

Another game, another SO for Chris Osgood. The Pens went goon-y at the end, Crosby was whining, and the wagons are being circled. I might get to watch the next couple games, I sure hope they at least are competitive.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night. I thought it was pretty good, say B- or C+ grade-wise. I enjoyed it, and don’t feel as if it was a waste of money, which is good considering how much it costs to go to a movie [...]

Arena League 2 Team to Buffalo?

There was a short note at WGR550.com about this…the report is Buffalo will be getting an AF2 team. No other details at this point, but for a city that already lost a real Arena League team to Columbus, and might just lose their NFL team to wherever, this can’t feel good. At least [...]

NHL Taking Another Look at Goalie Equipment

Ryan, it’s a good thing you’re on the competition committee, I guess. Commish Gary Bettman stated that the league will take a “good look” at the equipment that goaltenders wear/use in the NHL. The league last adjusted the equipment for the 05/06 season, reducing the pad sizes amongst other changes. Miller blames [...]
