SECTalk.com Sale Complete - 1 week later, work destroyed

So, I really felt like I didn’t have time to maintain SEC Talk anymore, so I figured I would sell it to someone passionate about the site. I turned down a couple higher offers to keep the site as is and protect the users from massive change. I guess I was wrong. A little history [...]

Do you think American Gladiators is rigged? I do.

What can I do with a 10 year Navy Electronics background, 10 years as a telecommunications tech, and experience online with my websites. Something in public relations? I have to [...]

March Madness Sucks

I can’t remember when the format changed, but ever since the NCAA Tournament started to span over a 2 week period rather than night after night, I have just not been as interested. I’ve watched a dozen of the game this week and I really love watching good basketball, but the fact that the tourney [...]

Time to visit my Attorney

I am getting it from all sorts of angles today… 1st off, I have people trying to request admin passwords for my site’s services…

Had this been the 1st time in the last couple weeks, i’d think nothing of it, but this is not. I have contacted Google and trying to get some information on this. [...]

Why is housing so damn expensive here?

I don’t know the costs in the rest of the country since I have never really looked out there in 10+ years, but I do know that Tuscaloosa, Alabama is too damn expensive. I don’t know what makes it this way, but the average house costs 1/4 to 1/3 more here than other cities in Alabama. [...]
