Idol 2010 – Top 9 Recap
Apr 14th
This will be the first of two Top 9 Recaps, because SPOILER ALERT – the judges used their precious “save” to save Michael Lynche who was surprisingly in the bottom three.
Even more surprising, none of the females were in the bottom three – I wasn’t really surprised since I think all three of them did a great job with their Lennon/McCartney songs, but still…they had to tease us with SOMETHING that SOMEONE might be shocked about.
I’m not going to spend much time on the first Top 9 recap, because I’m MUCH more interested in what’s going to happen next week More >
Acid washed genes.
Apr 12th
Deoxyribonucleic acid, that is. My genes are awash with the stuff. And now it has the stain fighting power of bleach!
No, not really – but it felt like the appropriate title for this article which is the second in my “What’s in Heath’s Genes?” series.
A month ago I spit in a cup and sent it off to be tested – if you don’t recall that you can read more about it in What’s in your genes? Well my results are in and I have already spent several hours learning all sorts of interesting things about myself. It’s tough to be even more More >
Getting my Ski on.
Apr 9th
It’s been a LONG time since I have been able to ski – probably 5 years or so. Thankfully since I had the arthroscopy last year I am now able to get back onto the slopes, and what better excuse for skiing again than visiting some friends from out of town?
Michael and Angela Waters came out for a quick trip and so we met them in Tahoe for fun in the snow – and that included a trip to Sierra at Tahoe for some skiing.
Here’s a quick video of me on the slopes for the first time in years – More >
Got Woods? Nope.
Apr 6th
This post is not about Tiger Woods.
There. I’ve said what needed to be said, because seriously it seems like EVERY SINGLE NEWS OUTLET CAN NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT TIGER WOODS AS IF HE IS AS IMPORTANT AS UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!
As difficult as it might be to wrap our collective heads around this – there really are more interesting and important things to talk about than Tiger Woods. Heck, I don’t even like golf. I barely like mini-golf (mostly because I’m not very good at it). Why would I care about this topic enough to devote more than a single sentence to More >
Addicted to Mass
Apr 2nd
Effect 2 that is.
Can I just say…WOW I LOVE THIS GAME! Although I didn’t play the first one (and actually never even heard of it somehow), I am completely and totally addicted to the second release in the potential trilogy of Mass Effect.
I am a big fan of RPG style gaming, but not a huge fan of “shooter” games. The things about RPG that really get me going are the ability to control multiple characters at the same time and have such a variety of demographics at my disposal. Wizards and sorcerors, fighters and paladins, and many combinations of these can More >
