Lockett talks smack
Wed, May 14, 2008 @ 11:40PM
Gary who? Gary "The Rocket" Lockett is feeling very confident about his upcoming bout against Kelly Pavlik on June 7 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. It's not the first time an opponent has felt confident heading into the ring against "The Ghost", but all have left as losers. Lockett is predicting a knockout victory over Pavlik, claiming to have seen a few weaknesses in Pavlik's style. Pavlik shrugged off the comments, but his trainer Jack Loew had plenty to say. "We give this kid the opportunity of a lifetime and he starts talking (trash)," Loew told The Vindicator. Lockett said he feels inspired by Joe Calzaghe's victory over Bernard Hopkins and believes he can also make the trip across the ocean anc come back with a win. Pavlik started training in mid-April and is ahead of schedule according to his trainer. Until next time, I'm throwing in the towel.

Quick, someone get me a box of Animal Crackers
Wed, May 14, 2008 @ 10:30PM
Playoff fever has left me a little drained. The chills I’ve received from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics series can only be treated with a can of Ginger Ale and a box of Animal Crackers. As a loyal Cavs fan — I have a LeBron James bobblehead on my desk thank you very much – I almost had to stop watching SportsCenter after the 89-73 loss in Game 2. Since I’ve qualified myself as a fan by noting that King James is currently agreeing with everything I say by shaking his head “Yes,” I have a hard time saying that I was sure it was all over. There wouldn’t be a playoff run this year. The struggles just started too early. The trash talking from the Washington Wizards had done the trick, but it had taken a few days longer to kick in than they would have liked. After going down 2-0 to the best team in the NBA, there was no way that James could overcome the deficit and his hardships to orchestrate a comeback. But, much to my surprise, I was wrong.

Your own video production team
Wed, May 14, 2008 @ 8:59PM
It's half music video and half your own photographs. And it makes for a complete, media-rich video that you and your friends will enjoy. The website is Animoto.com and what it does is splice together special effects, music and your photographs to produce a really slick looking video slide show. Their official explanation states, "Animoto is a web application that produces MTV-style videos using the images and music you choose. Produced in a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer. Best of all, no two videos are ever the same. Ever." You can then share your videos very easily or upload them to the popular video viewing and sharing site, YouTube. The process is very simple. Once you register, you just need to upload your photographs.

Flyers need to pipe down
Mon, May 12, 2008 @ 7:46PM
The Philadelphia Flyers, fresh off being schooled in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, have apparently figured out what the problem is. The referees. Nevermind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Nevermind Marian Hossa and Marc-Andre Fleury. The reason for the Flyers back-to-back 4-2 losses to the Penguins is the on-ice officials. At least that's according to Philadelphia. "Obviously, (the Penguins) might get protected a little bit more," Flyers forward Daniel Briere said. "That's understandable, but when they do some of the cheap shots that they're doing I think it would be fair for everybody that they get the same treatment in that regard." That's just a small sample of the boo-hooing the Flyers are doing. It starts with their coach, John Stevens, and it trickles down to the players as you just read from Briere. That's fine, let them keep blaming it on the officials.

ET may phone home, but may not use up my roaming minutes
Wed, May 14, 2008 @ 3:43PM
I wish to delve into territory that is not mine because fellow reporter David Grimes handles the tech beat for The Review Blog Crew (TRBC). But Grimes talks about all the new fangled doodads and whatnots of today and fails to mention where it all comes from and the long, torturous road technology has traveled. For example, there is the cell phone ... A modern piece of technology that is sleek and stylish that has become more of a hip gadget/status symbol than a means of communication. I remember my first cell phone. I thought I was cool. The phone I got in the early 1980s is now known as a “brick phone” simply because it was shaped – and was heavy – like a brick. It worked in a radius of about 20 feet from the one cell tower in town. But, it made and received phone calls.

Wordiness
Fri, April 25, 2008 @ 3:07PM
Words are a powerful and potentially dangerous thing. I have always loved language - the subtle shades of meaning, the way words like "ridiculous" and "superfluous" sound rolling off the tongue, the look on someone's face when you insult them with a word they don't understand. One of the beautiful things about language is how adaptable it is. It is an ever-changing, nebulous thing and rightfully so. Slang is always evolving to accommodate us with new ways to insult each other and to call things cool. New words and phrases are constantly being coined to express new ideas, which is not at all a bad thing in and of itself. I use "google" as a verb on a daily basis, and I'm fine with that. What I find really irksome, though, is the habit that has been swelling to gross proportions of combining two words into one.
