I’m not really sure how long my local newspaper The Press Democrat has been running its Town Hub site but it is really cool. They have given all the bigger cities in Sonoma County their own online page with city specific-news. For example, here are the pages for Windsor and Healdsburg. The Win... Comment - Like

I no longer update this blog and haven’t for some time. I’m not going to delete it instead I’m going to let it collect dust out in the garage. It was fun while it lasted and received some fun press along the way. Comment - Like

Eastbound & Down is pure gold. I highly recommend it. F-ing hilarious show.
I didn’t watch it on HBO or Comcast On Demand because I don’t have HBO or Comcast. Instead, I typed a couple keywords into Google and found some high-quality streams on the first page of results. Buying the Sea... Comment - Like

I live in Windsor, California. Not Windsor, Canada.
When I use Google to search for a restaurant or business in Windsor, California, Google assumes I am searching for something in Windsor, Canada. I have never searched for something in Windsor, Canada. Ever. Why hasn’t Google learned this wi... Comment - Like

I update Buzzyeah with new posts very infrequently, so I thought I’d point out a few places where I update on a daily basis (if not a multiple-times-a-day basis).
1) @andrwmyr at Twitter. Here you’ll find a diarrhea stream of news links I think are cool, my half-baked opinions and thou... Comment - Like

When I visit PressDemocrat.com, I go for one thing: Sonoma County news. Someone in Mendocino County might visit the site for Mendo County news, which is great, but not the reason I visit. Ok, with that said, how do I locate Sonoma County news on PressDemocrat.com. Ahh… herein lies the problem.... Comment - Like

I need to get a mop for my apartment, so I just put it down on a list of things to buy at the store on the next trip.
Browsing the list, I noticed I wrote down “Swiffer” instead of “floor mop”. My hand wrote it down automatically without much thought. It was if I was writing... Comment - Like

Pay-per-view aka PPV is king in the world of fighting. This is where companies like WWE, HBO and Showtime bring in a large portion of their revenues.
