Survivor: Vanuatu
Disclaimer: Yes, I understand I’m somewhat of a loser for like Survivor so much. Chris’s comeback to win Survivor: Vanuatu was unreal. The men were outnumbered 4 to 6 and the female alliances voted out Rory, Sarge, and Chad. Everyone thought Chris would be next but he hung in there and played a flawless game…

Why Survivor is Still Popular
Ok, maybe I am not such a loser for liking Survivor so much.Being stranded on an island… has, … fallen aside as the game play between the 16 or 18 contestants has become the focus. That is not television for morons. While there is plenty of hot flesh to ogle and two adrenaline-spiking challenges to…

Pixies @ Tweeter Sunday Night
The 2nd show was awesome, but which night was better? It’s hard to say. The set lists were rearranged and about 5 songs were switched. “Here Comes Your Man” and “Winterlong” were great, but the best addition on Sunday night was the double treatment of the Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Head On.” Kim Deal played…

Pixes @ the Tweeter Center in Camden Saturday Night
Last night’s Pixies show at the Tweeter center was awesome. They crammed in so many songs from their 5 albums. Highlights of the night for me were “Isla De Encanta,” “Wave of Mutilation,” “Debaser,” and “Bone Machine.” They opened with “Velouria,” but didn’t play too much else from Bossanova. The set definitely favored songs from…

Odd Man In Suggestions
Ok, now that the game is pretty stable I might want to tweak the rules again. I need feedback from people who have played. I want to strike a balance between rewarding alliances and rewarding backstabbers. The fun of the game is outsmarting people, but it still feels a little too random. A game where…

We Might Live to be 1000
I’ve always said this was about how long I wanted to live.”Life expectancy is increasing in the developed world. But Cambridge University geneticist Aubrey de Grey believes it will soon extend dramatically to 1,000…the first person to live to 1,000 might be 60 already:”

Round 1 of Shoot the Moon finished last night and 8 players bit the dust. Once again I was pleasantly surprised that only 1 out of 25 people forgot to make their move. I made it through the first round, despite the fact that I accidently revealed my identity in the game again. Why do…

Geography Quiz
I took this quiz four times and I really stunk it up. My scores were 50%, 50%, 30%, and 20%. All you have to do is identify 10 random countries around the world. The average score for US citizens is around 53%, so I definitely brought us down. Maybe you’ll do better.
