Al Tanger passed away on Saturday, June 21st, at the age of 94. The more days that pass since his death, the more incredible things I keep hearing about the man. For starters, all I’d known about him was that the Tanger Hillel at Brooklyn College was named after him and his wife. I’ve now …
Month: June 2014
While most of my shows are off for the summer, I decided today to watch The Lego Movie. A really funny story, taking place mostly in a Lego World, with everything made of Lego pieces (from the characters to flames, and everything in-between), and including voices such as Chris Pratt, Liam Neeson and Charlie Day, it …
With the ruling on Aereo, I fear that they will stop offering their service. And while I pay for cable at home and Hulu+/Netflix/Amazon Prime, you may wonder why I even use Aereo. It’s simple really. The CBS website and App sucks. While other channels that I watch (namely FOX and NBC) offer their shows …
In every sport, rookie hazing happens. In some sports it’s a little harsh, but in baseball bullpens, it’s generally carrying around a really girly bag. Or in the case of the Oakland Athletics, a unicorn attached to a Hello Kitty backpack. And it has become a thing. So much so, that the A’s will be …
During the week I don’t generally wear a watch, but as more smart watches come out, and the features improve, their is one watch that I have been looking at for months, and can’t wait until the announcement and release (which may very well be announced tomorrow!). That watch is the Moto 360. It is …
I went yesterday to the Bronx Zoo. I go there all the time, but this is the first time I’ve gone in the summer in a few years. As such, I was able to go on Wild Asia, which is usually closed when I am there, and all the exhibits had a lot more animals …
This may surprise some people who read here, but this is not my first blog…nor is it my second…or third… They have ranged in topics, from sports to life, and everything in-between. Also they have been under multiple names, which is why most people who read one of my blogs, probably haven’t read other blogs …
Most people these days don’t read a newspaper…ever. I’m one of the few that still gets home delivery, of the New York Daily News, which my delivery guy delivers promptly two hours late every day; and I don’t really read (aside for Saturdays), but others at home do. My paper of choice is USA Today. Sure, most …
As we have hit the off-season, it’s time to look at potential moves that the team may/may not/need to make. This morning opens up the Buy-out period…which ends the day before Free Agency begins. Isn’t the off-season a wonderful time? 🙂 The biggest elephant in the room is obviously Brad Richards and the buyout. The way …
Yesterday I went down to the Belmont race track, home of the Belmont Stakes, where California Chrome recently missed winning the triple crown. This was my first time there, but the goal had been to watch a horse named after one of the anchors at Fox Business. I give you Bartiromo: I hung around for …
