Stoke City promoted, Reading relegated, Fulham FC survives
Soccer • May 25, 2008

Otherwise known as the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'm very excited about Stoke moving up to the EPL which will be a much needed boost for the Austin Aztex. I'm surprised at Reading's collapse when only a year ago they nearly qualified for the UEFA cup. Going down with Reading are Americans Bobby Convey, who hasn't seen much playing time due to injury, and Marcus Hannemann. Does this mean Hannemann will now come play for his hometown Seattle Sounders FC? I hope so. Fulham barely survived for the second year in a row which kept Dempsey, McBride and the rest of Fulhamerica still ticking in the EPL. But Fulham really needs to put more money into their roster so that they can better compete with the rest of the EPL. One other piece of good news is that Everton and star American keeper Tim Howard did qualify for the UEFA cup.

Poison Ivy
Outdoors • May 15, 2008

If you've ever dealt with poison ivy, you know it can be a pain to get rid of. After I moved out to the Hill Country, I "discovered" poison ivy by accident while cleaning up leaves and brush in my yard. I didn't even know I had touched it until a couple of days later when my arms and chest developed a pretty bad rash. This was from scooping up leaves (and poison ivy apparently) into the wheel barrel with short sleeves on. In New Mexico, where I'm originally from, I never experienced poison ivy so I wasn't all that familiar with it.

Web 2.Oh no
WWW • January 18, 2006

I'm not an expert on Web 2.0. So, I did some research and came across some interesting articles. Some talking about how Web 2.0 is helping to improve the web and some comparing Web 2.0 to the "dot-com" bubble - which later popped, of course.
