The biggest move in our 2004 playoff pool yesterday was made by yours truly. I'm now in second place within four points of Ryan. There are three merely a point behind me. One reason this competition is so tight is the fairly balanced scoring throughout the league. Only one player
Before the egg became closely entwined with the Christian holiday of Easter, it was honoured during many rite-of-Spring festivals. The Romans, Gauls, Chinese, Egyptians and Persians all cherished the egg as a symbol of the universe. From ancient times eggs were dyed, exchanged and shown reverence. In Pagan times the
I just purged a bunch of older pictures from Pictures and uploaded a whack of newbies. There are five new pictures of James we just got developed as well as a few from Taryn's trip to Portugal last month. You'll find them all right now in Pictures.
Ryan has surged ahead in our 2004 playoff pool thanks to some hefty output by his Philly threesome. He now has a four point lead over Steve and Stefan. I had a fairly decent day gaining a couple of points from Brenden Shanahan and a couple more from Gary Roberts.

The Maple Leafs had to show up tonight with more intensity than they displayed on Thursday night and that they did. Eddie Belfour was absolutely brilliant and Gary Roberts showed why he's Mr. Playoffs by potting a pair on feeds from Mats Sundin. I don't want to lose this series.
I was channel surfing the other day when I came upon a Muchmusic bit entitled "Two Hit Wonders". They were counting down the top two hit wonders and at number one they had Papa Roach for "Last Resort" and "Broken Home". By my count Papa Roach had a third hit
Spider-Man 2 Trailer - I had a great time watching Spider-Man and this is the trailer for the heavily anticipated sequel. It looks very cool and will hit theatres June 30th.
The page I created listing my entire MP3 collection is apparently rather popular, so this post is just to let ya all know I've updated the page with about 20 new CDs. A little Sarah McLachlin, some I Mother Earth, some older music from The Vines, the latest Nickleback and
Colorado's big guns came through last night in their 5-2 victory and many in our 2004 playoff pool reaped the benefits. Steve was the greatest beneficiary as he surged into a tie for the lead with Ryan and Alexi. I was completely shut out and now find myself in seventh.

Although the 2004 playoff pool home page was updated by 07:48 this morning, I waited until 11:00 to post this entry. The lazy bums in the pool are probably slumbering out of bed about now on a Good Friday statutory holiday. Ryan has a slight lead but the
In Pennsylvania, a church trying to teach about Jesus' crucifixion performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny and breaking eggs. To quote this Newsday article, "People who attended Saturday's show at Glassport's memorial stadium quoted performers as saying, "There is no Easter bunny," and described the show
Nickelback's The Long Road contains a stamp on the back that claims it's "Copy Controlled". The basis of the technique is the observation that computer CD-ROM drives are generally cleverer than simple CD players and are more likely to notice errors on the disc. By putting intentionally bad or misleading

When the going got tough, the Maple Leafs were no where to be found. Tonight's effort was weak. A few more outings like this and we'll be golfing in no time. Where was the effort? Where was Sundin? What's with all the weird penalties being called? Why did Belfour gamble
How You Remind Me of Someday - This is great. This link is an MP3 of Nickelback's "Someday" in your left speaker and "How You Remind Me" in the right. It's the exact same song! For more on Nickelback songs that sound like other songs, read my entry of March
Tonight, at 19:05 EST, the puck will drop on the Maple Leafs 2003/2004 Stanley Cup playoff run. Our first round opponent is none other than the Ottawa Senators. One of the cool things about having a site like this is I can make a prediction and see if
He wasn't just good, he was scary good. Over the past week I've spun every Nirvana CD in my collection. I've listened to Bleach, Nevermind, Incesticide, In Utero and MTV Unplugged in New York (Live) several times each. Every note reminded me of how talented a musician Kurt Cobain was
Last night the first four games were played in the 2004 NHL playoffs. The 2004 playoff pool home page has since received its first updates. The Chabane boys have jumped out to an early lead but Ryan is hot on their tails. View the current standings here. I'm in the

Ten years ago, 800,000 minority Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus were systematically slaughtered in Rwanda. Survivors of the genocide buried 20 coffins today filled with the remains of victims in a ceremony to mark the anniversary of the atrocity in the central African country. Paul Martin did not attend
