January 22, 2014 The high temperature today is supposed to be 12 degrees.
With this being our second polar vortex blast of the winter, I thought for the Picture of the Day today we would harken back to those days of summer and warmth.
January 21, 2014 I could eat pizza every day. Simple as that.
Jet's Pizza has a new pizza-and-breadsticks thing.
It's pretty amazing. I ain't gonna lie.
So, I ordered it. It was delicious.
History has always portrayed being geeky as an immense, life-crippling negative experience (at least in high school). However, today, the term "nerd" or "geek" appears to have morphed into a new meaning: one of power, intelligence and, believe it or not, popularity.
With powerhouses such as the Nerdist network, Apple's Steve Jobs, Microsoft's Bill Gates and pretty much every hipster reading a graphic novel through his or her oversized novelty glasses, geeks are on top of their game today.

Hey, if you don't want your mug shot taken, don't get arrested!

January 14, 2014 Like most people, I ate lunch today.

In 1994, Disney remade the classic 1951 baseball film 'Angels in the Outfield.' The premise of the movie is that a young baseball fan, who has been placed in foster care, reaches out to his widowed birth father and asks when they will be a family again. The dad sarcastically replies, "When the Angels win the pennant." So, the boy prays for that to happen, and has his prayers are answered when a group of angels come to earth to help the baseball Angels start winning.
January 10, 2014 Sometimes, the picture of the day is a cool photo of something or a nice scene from downtown. Maybe even a goofy selfie or a cute pics of my kids.
Today's isn't one of those.
