I have lived near or in the Quad City region since I was eight years old. I am now older than eight years old, well, that probably depends on whom you talk to. At least physically no one can argue that point. I like living in the Quad City region or I would have left [...]

I have been preoccupied with getting things ready for Da Bears game this Sunday. I am chilling the Mt. Dew and getting all the right snacks lined up to feast upon during the game and removing anything breakable out of grabbing distance from Big Green’s location, “just-in-case” Da Bears lose. However, like so many others, when [...]

Yes it is true, move over “Alien Autopsy”; a new sensationalized documentary is about to replace the vaunted film for conspiracy buffs.
Back in 2000-2001 there was an Internet Urban legend created about a supposed Time Traveler, named John Titor. Titor started showing up in Internet chat rooms claiming to be a time traveler from [...]

The universe is a vast aged creation overflowing with virginal adventures waiting to fulfill the unfathomable dreams and desires of yet nameless explorers. There will come a day when the progeny of the current Earth bound cavemen shall mature, then reach out and trace the presently forbidden regions of that Universe with anticipating hands. Until [...]

I love listening to music. My lifetime collection contains many albums (mostly 33 rpm but actually if I looked around I might even find a few 45 rpm and some of my grandmother’s old 78 rpm collection), although I do not currently have anything setup to play them with.
