ChrisLeckness.com

When I was moving all the sites from the old server to this one, I created a couple domains that I had been trying to “get around to”… One of them is ChrisLeckness.com. I will continue using chris.leckness.com, but if you are typing in your browser, you can use chrisleckness.com now too. No biggie, just letting [...]

Thanks Google…

Thanks Google for making it easier to use your online services. The other day, I got a message when logging in to Google Adsense. It asked me if I wanted to merge this login into another Google account. I was very happy to see that. I had like 4 different logins across several Google services. [...]

Ok, this post serves two purposes.

No Hall of Fame for the Best Pitcher?

Ok, so all these baseball fans have been calling for Barry Bonds head over the last couple years for his alleged steroid use. Where is the lynch mob for Roger Clemens? Why is there “support” for Clemens instead of jeers and boos like with Bonds? I have stated numerous times, steroids or not, Bonds is one [...]

Giving the USPS another try…

If you recall a couple weeks ago, I was furious at Canada Post for refusing shipment of an HTC Advantage into Canada. After more than 2 hours of phone calls, I found out why it was refused. Apparently something labeled as gift over a certain dollar amount requires additional paperwork. I sent this contest prize [...]

Honk if you Sacked Brady Tonight!

Man!! Oh man… Jack Cook. I am so sorry, but the NY Giants (the shittiest team in the playoffs with the whiniest QB at the helm) just whooped your Patriots up good. I have no dog in this hunt, but wow what a Super Bowl. Besides the one that my Falcons somehow got into, this [...]

Bittersweet Super Bowl - Who to Cheer for?

Jack asked for my support of the Pats, but I can’t do it. I have despised the Pats ever since Bledsoe lost his starting job to Brady over an injury. I have always followed Bledsoe and this really irritated me. I am a fan only, so I can choose my favorites over something so simple, [...]
