Android 2.1 on the Hero
The Sprint Hero recently got the official Android 2.1 update, and I was running it via the DamageControl ROM before that. Some thoughts: It’s fast – you don’t see as many little hiccups when scrolling through apps or switching screens. Google Navigation is legit. Need to play with it more, but seems more user friendly. Better…

Big Website Announcement!
Hey, guys. I have decided to put a little separation between my Sabres/NHL bloggin’ and tweetin’, and everything else. So now, if you want to read about my thoughts on the Buffalo Sabres, go to Shutdown Pair. This site is still where you want to go for everything else, including my movie reviews, gadget talk,…

Movie Review: Iron Man 2
Saw this Friday morning, which is a great way to spend a day off, by the way. Very much enjoyed it, a worthy successor to the first, but not without a few minor flaws that keep it from being ‘better’. But really, who cares? It was still GREAT. Spoilers to follow…consider yourself warned!

Happy Mother's Day!
I would like to wish all the Mommies out there, especially my wife and Mommy of Thomas, Mattie, and little Eva to be, a wonderful day!

A Question Of Motivation
First, the Sabres…from John Vogl over at the Buffalo News: “We didn’t compete,” captain Craig Rivet said. “We didn’t compete at all. They played a playoff game and gave everything they had, and we looked like a bunch of guys that wanted to wait and hopefully win a hockey game. “It’s pathetic. It’s very upsetting.…

Mayville Ice Palace
We recently took the kids to see the Mayville Ice Palace on the way back from ‘camping’. I’ll have pictures and stuff about that later, but check this out (and yes, we walked out on the ice to visit the ice fishermen):

Trade Deadline Day 2010
It’s that day again, the day Sabres fans have been conditioned to complain about. Darcy Regier usually does something on Deadline day, but never a big earth-shattering move like many folks want. There are a ton of rumors, many names in play that ‘we’ have decided can ‘help’, but usually the Sabres don’t want to…

Gameday 2009-2010 – Sabres at Penguins
The Buffalo Sabres take the quick trip down to Pittsburgh to face Crosby, Malkin and the Penguins, 7pm on Versus. The Pens played yesterday against the Red Wings in a Cup Final rematch, winning in a shootout with some sick goals from the two guys mentioned above. Buffalo has a pair of 2-1 wins in…

Movie Review: The Book of Eli
I saw The Book of Eli on Sunday (edit: now on DVD and Blu-ray), and enjoyed it. However, I wasn’t planning on reviewing it officially until I read this story, that requires an FJM-style takedown. I will have a go at that after the jump, as there will be MASSIVE SPOILERS.

Fun With SPAM: Most Important!!!
As a slightly popular blogger, I get a good amount of spam comments, though most is caught by the filters. The rest vary from ugly linkfests to sneaky-sly advertising. Here’s a recent favorite (note, may be some swearing): name: step ladders Hello, Mr. Ladders! The lowercase name is edgy. And ‘step’, your parents were unique.…

Time Warner Raising Rates…Fight Back!
Many of you have probably heard by now, TWC is raising rates, as much as 12% depending on what you have. You can point straight at crap like the recent Fox nearly being pulled due to pricing negotiations running right up to the deadline, and (locally) the Channel 4 craziness. So what can men do…
