2010 FSU Football Forecast

So, if you’ve followed FSU football or college football, the fortunes of the Noles kind of went like this:  The 70s were a building decade, the 80s saw the Noles come into their own as a national power, and the 90s were a decade dominated by FSU.  By 2000, the team began to lose it’s […]

2010 GT Football Forecast

Holy cow, the first games are tonight.  I’ll post my FSU prediction tomorrow, but here’s my 2010 GT forecast.  Let me know what you think. 9/4/10 South Carolina State (Win) First game of the year – I think the offense will roll, and we’ll see backups soon after halftime on offense.  The defense will be tested […]

3-4 defense, demystified

The 3-4 defensive mission statement: The 3-4 defense is all about confusion.  Using strong linemen to occupy the offensive line at the point of attack, athletic linebackers are able to attack from various angles to pressure the quarterback or stuff the run. The 4-3 usually relies on the down linemen to penetrate.  This penetration by […]

Vectoring

So one of my friends asked me in reference to my prior post what I meant by ‘vectoring’ .  This is a defensive philosophy popularized by Jim Bates, who had some success in Denver and Miami with the scheme, but ultimately was run out of town. The vectoring or Run Control style of defense exists to help the […]

Recap: Bucs v. Dolphins

The only people who would say that football is BACK are the nerds who want to see what their team is going to look like in the regular season.  Everyone else just (correctly) says it’s a bunch of backups and folks who aren’t going to make the team anyway.  However, for the Bucs this is […]

What’s Up?

So, more big news. Last week was my first at What’s Up Inter­ac­tive, an Atlanta web mar­ket­ing agency. I’ll be han­dling a big chunk of their front end devel­op­ment for some very impres­sive clients. As fate would have it, another one of the front end guys is my buddy Paul, so it’s nice to col­lab­o­rate with a famil­iar face. I […]

Making the switch (again?)

Over the past few weeks, I have real­ized that I love MobileMe when I’m using my iPhone or my laptop, but I absolutely hate it when I am using these ser­vices via my web browser.  You see, the MobileMe ser­vice basi­cally offers a hand­ful of things that you can get on the web for free, but they […]

iPhone Apps

Allow me to be the last blog owner in the galaxy to write a post about the iPhone apps that I’m using, and a few that I’d love to see come to fruition in the near future. I’ve been really impressed with the first batch of software released last week, but a few have really […]

The Definitive Dominican Republic Review

Well, we’re back in town after a delightful weeklong trip to the Gran Bahia Pricipe Ambar hotel in the Dominican Republic. Michelle and I have been talking about taking a ‘real’ vacation for quite some time, and after much research, saving, and rushing around at the last minute, we were on our way. We finally decided on […]

Deception.

So, a funny thing happened to me last night. While going through my Mint site statistics, I noticed that one particular site was bouncing quite often – all while trying to visit one specific page. The way my blog is set up, any 404 redirects back to my main page, so the only information I really had […]
