I do not know much about these two bills, but I am quickly learning about them today, because of all the news about them all over the Internet. Initially, I would have to say I am against them based on what I've heard and because websites whose opinion I respect are against them. So the basic info I know so far: SOPA is the bill in the House and stands for

Today is Muhammad Ali's 70th birthday. You can stream a movie on Netflix called "When We Were Kings". It's a documentary that uses the 1974 Ali-Foreman fight in Kinsasha, Zaire as a reason to create a portrait of Ali and what he meant to people at the time. I like it, but it may be a little slow-paced and old-fashioned for most people. When I was a kid, he

I watched the Hoffman's episode of Restaurant: Impossible on Wednesday night. I have a few things to say about it and about these kind of shows in general. First, to repeat what I said Wednesday, I have never seen this show and watched out of curiosity about the Hoffmans and their situation. I have probably seen a dozen episodes of various shows of this

Tonight at 10pm the Food Channel show Restaurant:Impossible will have a episode about Hoffman's, the restaurant on Pacific. I've never seen this show, but I will watch tonight out of curiosity. The premise is that a team from the show comes in to totally turn around a restaurant (re-build, re-decorate and re-do the menu) in 48 hours. The main webpage for

Man, what a great day in Santa Cruz! Sunny, in the 70's, lots of people out enjoying the day. Stopped by the Swift Street Courtyard. Had a pint of brown ale at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewers. Tried a taste of the Ginger warmer and , for me, it is a little to sharp and spicey, but still a good version of this kind of beer. Walked around the corner to the the

And in the process, they have taken a big chunk of the economy with them. During the boom, homeowners borrowed against that mountain of money, fueling a huge surge in everything from yacht sales in Silicon Valley to home heating
