I’d heard about the game Wits & Wagers from a few sources, and it sounded interesting. I’m trying to spend more family time off-screen, and playing board games together is one of the things I’m working into the schedule a couple of times per week. The wife found this game on a half-off sale so [...]

I just saw a Lifehacker post stating that the Senate approved a bill to extend the Digital TV transition date from Feb 12 to June 12, and the House is expected to do the same. I wish they would do it and get it over with.

Another Redbox pick, Cleaner. I didn’t have a movie in mind and this one looked like a decent movie based on the description. I couldn’t have been more wrong. This movie stars Samuel L.

Another Redbox freebie, I picked out Wildhogs. The Mrs. and I had wanted to see it for a while, so I grabbed this flick. This movie has a well known cast, including Tim Allen and John Travolta. If you like comedy, this one is a winner.

I stumbled upon a fun little website yesterday called Centsports. Centsports is a sports betting website, with one major difference: It doesn’t cost anything to bet! It is completely advertiser supported and they give you the money to bet. When you sign up, you get $0.10 (yes, ten cents) to bet
