After 8 seasons, a movie, and 200+ episodes, 24 came to a close last night. While recent years felt dry and repetitive, writers went all out with this final season, entitled “24: Live Another Day”. Previous seasons took 24 episodes, with each episode corresponding to 1-hour and playing out in real time. This season was different, …
I have never read anything of Klavan’s in the past, but obviously recognized the name, as some of his previous works have been made into movies, such as True Crime (starring/directed by/produced by Clint Eastwood). MindWar is the first book in what is called “The MindWar Trilogy” and centers around Rick Dial, a former star Quarterback who has …
The blog has now passed 2 months, 50+ posts, and ~20 followers, and from Day 1 I have used the Hexa theme.

I’ve always had rules for what/when I post about shows/sporting events/etc. and they go something like this: Sporting events don’t hold any “Spoiler” status. If you miss them live, you can’t expect that no one will be talking about it, especially since the next game is generally less than 24 hours away. Season finales are …
Happy July 4th!!! On this day I am keeping my post simple, and just thanking anyone that actually reads my blog, and has allowed me to get over the 50 post mark. If anyone has any ideas for what you want me to talk about (whether a general idea, a Facebook vs. Twitter debate, tech …
