Twitter Replacing My Blog
I have been updating something on the Internets lately, but it certainly hasn’t been this blog. I am totally hooked on Twitter/Facebook status since I can do it from my phone. I’ll obviously still keep the blog for longish posts, but if you want to see what I’m up to check me out here.

Phillies Parade
I know I’m counting my chickens, but as far as I know none of the Phillies read this blog. ?In 1983 the parade took place on a Thursday after a Tuesday victory. ?That means a parade could be as early as Wednesday.? The Sixers won their championship on a Tuesday night, and the parade was…

Phillies Win Game 4
The only better birthday present than a Phillies World Series win is two Phillies World Series wins.? It almost makes turning 30 bearable. Joe Blanton’s home run was awesome.

Philadelphia and Tampa Bay: A Odd Rivalry
Could the 2008 World Series cement an already budding rivalry between the cities of Philadelphia and Tampa Bay? These places couldn’t be more different, but for some reason their paths have crossed. Granted, the Rays play in St Petersburg and the Buccaneer’s play in Tampa, but we’ll ignore that inconvenient fact. Facts: Philadelphia:? The City…

Go Phillies

iTunes Genius

Cake Wrecks
It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed this hard at a website. ?Who would have though botched and ugly cakes could be this funny. Here’s one of my favorites: I’m not really sure what the “20th” denotes: 20 years of being a “dad”? 20 “children”? Or maybe the cake is for the 20th “dad”…

The search of the mass giving Higgs-Boson particle is underway! ?Luckily we didn’t get sucked into a black hole like everyone thought we might. Large Hadron Collider

New Job
Garvey Corporation was started long ago as a gas station in 1926 by an Irish immigrant named Gordon Garvey. He chose a location on Route 73 directly between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, since it would be an ideal place for people to stop for gas coming from either direction. The company moved away from being…
