Happy Birthday Townsend Coleman

Happy Birthday to Townsend Coleman, voice actor extraordinaire. People of my vintage may not know his name, but we know his work. Most famously, he was the voice of the Ninja Turtle Michaelangelo…and my favorite, The Tick. (to keep this sports related, he voiced Wayne Gretzky on ProStars) His voice acting profile [...]

Odds and Ends

I’m working today, but for those of you who are not, have a happy holiday!

The Kelowna Rockets fell to the Windsor Spitfires in the Memorial Cup final, 4-1. Tyler Myers was named to the all-tourney team.
Happy Birthday, Ian McKellen. You brought two characters to life that nerds everywhere love. I only hope [...]

Malkin Hat Trick Downs Hurricanes 7-4

Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin scored 3 goals and assisted one more to lead the Pens to a 7-4 win over the Carolina Hurricanes last night. Check out this Puck Daddy link, which has the video of Geno’s sick no-look backhand which was the dagger. That goal gave the Pens the first 2 [...]

On Keys To Cities

Lost in the shuffle on the “TO got a key to the city? Buffalo is such a podunk town!” schtick is this:
Owens, who also received the key to the city of Dallas upon joining the Cowboys three years ago, said scoring 10 touchdowns won€™t be a problem. As for making the playoffs, he said [...]

Memorial Cup Thoughts

I caught most of the Kelowna Rockets first two Memorial Cup games, and got quite a bit of enjoyment out of them. I have some quick thoughts:

Tyler Myers is a beast. 1G, 2A in two games, and was +3 last night. Made some big shotblocks in front of the net.
Jamie Benn was [...]

The skins used for Rainmeter are Urban, Enigma and HUD.Vision (for the weather and picture viewer). H/T to Lifehacker that got me started with Rainmeter.

NHL Playoffs 2009 – Conference Finals

The Conference finals matchups are set after last night’s game sevens. Carolina’s Scott Walker scored at the end of OT to put the Hurricanes in, and the Red Wings got a Daniel Cleary goal late in regulation to seal their third straight trip to the Western Conference finals.
This all means that the Pittsburgh Penguins [...]

THAT Was Unexpected – Aud Wall DOWN

As I was sitting at work today, I heard a loud rumble, which just kept going and going…when I looked up, half of the Aud wall picture tumbled over with a massive dust cloud rising up. Apparently on purpose, as there were no fire trucks this time (week or two ago they had to [...]

Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)

I am writing this, in the interest of full disclosure, as a Trekkie who kind of fell away from Star Trek towards the end of Voyager, and missed pretty much all of Enterprise. Seems pretty common, actually, from the guys I went to see the movie with.
