Some frontpage goodness on Boston.com. Not only are they giving props to local blogs but they featured a link to your favorite Boston blog (I hope you are thinking BostonGeek!). Thanks Boston.com!

Dice-K finally takes the mound in a BoSox uniform. Sure, its only against Boston College. Sure, its only the pre-season. But, many of us have been waiting to see what this kid from Japan can do for a while.
Oh ya, Manny will be making his Spring training debut today against the Blue [...]

Some of you might be wondering, “Where in the world (err, Boston) does Colin live?” Well, I live in Jamaica Plain and have for quite a while now. There is a nice little video that attempts to give you a glimpse of what JP is all about. It doesn’t cover all (or [...]

Few details have been revealed, but Microsoft has announced their intent to purchase Boston-based software virtualization company Softricity today. No doubt, the virtualization technologies will find their way into the upcoming update to the Windows operating system, Windows Vista.
Edit: Ok, I was told I should mention that I worked for Softricity sometime before my [...]

As written previously, Eventful is a neat tool that allows the masses to determine what types of events they want to happen in their locale. Apparently, it works. Wil Wheaton will be coming to the Boston area in July. He had previously confirmed that critical mass had been met and that he was going [...]

Ok, here’s the deal. I am going to beg for votes. If you care not to witness it, just head to Podcast Alley and vote for the BostonGeek Podcast.
//Begin Begging
You see, each month, Podcast Alley ranks the top podcasts. The top 10 podcasts are featured on the frontpage. Since this ranking [...]

I was going to leave it alone. I was. I had read it myself, had the link sent to me by my fiancee, and then by my friend. Since I ended up reading it three separate times and had a day to stew over it, I decided sure, I’ll totally crap on [...]

Which isn’t the same as One-Eyed Willie from the classic family film The Goonies, or my one-eyed trouser snake.
One Eyed Stanley is the name of a local band from Newton. Yes, I know there are a lot of local Boston-area bands, and yes, I know you expect more from me than that. Keep your pants [...]

Ok, since they took the time to email about their show, I thought the least I could do was pass the information on to you. Apparently, there is a design show on HGTV that will be filming in Boston this Spring and they are looking for homes to feature on the show. Cut-and-paste [...]

Well, it is over and done with… I popped my cherry. My first Con is over with, and unlike a 16 year-old girl in the backseat of a Chevy, I have no regrets. I didn’t get to spend as much time at VeriCon as I had initially hoped, but I did get to [...]

Thought I would share what I plan on doing over at VeriCon on Saturday. Unfortunately, being Chinese New Year, I may only spend Saturday at VeriCon.

10:00 - 11:00 AM Workshop: Webcomics How-To
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Art Show and Booth bouncing
1:00 - 2:00 PM NERO LARP

“For God so loved the world that he gave unto them his only begotten son…”
Jesus has deserted Boston.
Damon, you f**ker.
$52 million is a lot of money, though. Not much I wouldn’t do for that kind of cake. Even cut my hair, shave the beard… and change every other identifying trait about myself. [...]

You go to hell and you die, New England. You and your f****** blizzards with thunder and motherf****** lightning and 8-inch snowfalls in 3 goddam hours.
Oh, and remember kids, put something other than summer ‘touring’ tires on your car if you expect to do anything other than burn rubber for a gods-bedamned hour [...]

Update:
Looks like Ringling Bros. was in town (and leaving) for their next destination.
Original Post:
Not sure what was going on, but driving back to Boston through Somerville and Cambridge last night proved to be quite interesting when we passed a large number of elephants being led down Route 28 (going northbound).

Just last week, I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the Boston Bruins opening night game against the much-hated Montreal Canadiens (thanks dave). I hadn’t been to a hockey game in a couple years, and I haven’t seriously watched hockey since I was [...]

“Sweet googly moogle!” as Colin would say.
Last night, at the 2005 Boston Music Awards, the Dresden Dolls won some awards. Specifically, they won Best Live Act and Best Local Female Artist.
Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione are the duo that make up one of my favorite bands period, and that they’re a local band [...]

Thanks to Dave for pointing this out:
Atari 2600 Game Festival
Sat May 14
Sure, you can have your X-Box super-advanced 3-D action video games, but nothing matches the sheer joy and innocent fun of Asteroids, Berzerk, Combat, Defender, Missile Command, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Yars Revenge. Yes, we’re talking about the home video game system that started [...]

The month of music shall commence tomorrow evening! Well, for Carl, I suppose it starts tonight. You see, he is attending a Tori Amos concert… which is close to an unforgiveable act.

The Independent Film Festival of Boston returns with an impressively long list of film screeings from April 21st through the 24th.
April is turning out to be a busy month for me, but I hope to squeeze in a movie (or two?).

The Sox have finally parted ways with Kim.
Ouch, thats an expensive blemish on Theo Epstein’s record.
