Google Reader gets a major overhaul

Posted by Adam on September 29th, 2006

New Google Reader

Google has launched a major revamp of Google Reader, their online RSS reader. I think this upgrade moves Google Reader from what I would call a sub-par RSS reader with cool features to the top of the RSS reader mountain.
NewsGator Online was previously my […]

Comcast chaos, round 2

Posted by Adam on September 28th, 2006

I can hardly believe it. After the huge ordeal last month with Comcast, I’m right back where I was before. Late last month I finally got so fed up with the connection drops, which had become a daily problem by that time, that I started a blog and purchased several domain names. On the […]

Seahawks’ Alexander out with foot fracture

Posted by Adam on September 26th, 2006

Posted by Adam on September 24th, 2006

Jackass Number Two nearly tripled the second-place movie Jet Li’s Fearless with an impressive opening weekend haul of $28 million. Again, I hope this convinces them to do another one ASAP. I could watch these idiots all day.

Posted by Adam on September 23rd, 2006

I headed out to the theater this morning to see Jackass Number 2. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this for a while now, and it didn’t disappoint. While I fully agree that 2006 has been a really bad year for movies, I have to say that this movie was easily the most fun […]
