Hot Take: Middleton Injury Really Hurts
It’s not so much that the Bucks will miss Middleton’s 18–20 points a game (they will). It’s not that they’ll miss his spacing on a team that starts 3 non-shooters (they will). It’s not that they’ll miss his team and individual defense (they will). But the Bucks are going to have a really hard time…

The Palomino – Everything you need to know about Milwaukee…
Trying something new and randomly going to post about bars/restaurants that I either really love or really hate. Oddly enough, I’m not putting these in the “hate-love” category. I figured it best to have one section dedicated to nourishment. First up, is a place that gets a very bad rap around town for various reasons.…

Windows 7 Media Center
I think I’m finally catching up with the rest of the geek world… I’ve been running Windows XP on my media center (not media center, 32 bit edition on a 64 bit system… yeah, I know) because I already owned the license and I didn’t know if I’d really stick with the concept. However, we’re…

It’s a Jersey Thing
First off, I realize I’m late here. But, I had to make some mention of the last South Park episode. I don’t watch the Jersey Shore. During the first season, I felt compelled to see what it was all about, recorded an episode, got about 10 minutes in before giving up. It was painful, the…

iPhone 4… am I a fool?
I feel suckered… this is exactly what Apple wants. You get teased with the great features of the new product, realize your current one can’t come close to handling those features, feel compelled to upgrade your hardware. But what are my real alternatives?

Dear Apple: I hate IOS4
I have a 3G and 6 months left on my contract. I upgraded to IOS4 and now my phone is unusable. Maps? Takes forever to load, crashes frequently. SMS? Same. iCal? Ditto. Not even going to get into 3rd party apps.

Co-Sleeping = Monkey Pox 2010
Call it what you will, “co-sleeping” (as the local major media would say) or “drunken baby squashing” (as the conservative radio hosts call it). Regardless, babies dying from sleeping with their parents is the story that local media is currently trying to push above all others. Recently, a fourth baby in the Milwaukee area died…

Performance Enhancing Drugs and Underground Sports
For years now, we’ve been inundated with the eerie statements of Jose Canseco. Steroids are rampant in baseball and over the last 10-20 years, virtually all of our favorite players were using needles, pills or cream to recover from injuries, build muscles, hit home runs and throw strikeouts. The “Steroid Era” was seemingly so widespread…

Put on your tin foil hats NBA fans…
When I decided to attend the Bucks game against the visiting Lakers Wednesday night it wasn’t because I’m a die-hard NBA or Bucks fan. It wasn’t because I thought the Bucks could win (local Bucks talkshow host Steve Pfeiffer of WSSP said he’d be happy with a 12 or less point loss). Really the only…

Turn the volume down
I know this has been written about to no end… but I’m going to briefly rant about it again as my right ear felt like it was going a little quieter on me yesterday. See, when you’re in a rock band and you have a show, the best thing to do is crank all your…
