Let me explain starting with a common football scenario. For the purpose of this article, here’s the situation: I ask: can the Cowboys run out the… Continue reading Did I Figure Out How to Cheese an NFL Game? →
We all get “anxiety,” right? Interview comes up, a promising second date, or maybe it’s the dentist’s office. Just like any other emotion it has a real purpose – anxiety’s being partially “You need to put your attention here now.” Just like how fear is motivating or laughing supresses the release of stress hormones.

Tell me the last time you watched part of a Milwaukee Brewers game. You can’t, unless it was this: or this There are the Yankees and Dodgers and Red Sox and Cardinals, then your Rangers/Braves/Tigers/Pirates, and then the Brewers, Royals, Rays, and Padres – teams you think of last when doing this trivia question.

Homework got pushed back a day or two, and everyone knew how they would substitute their… Continue reading A Blizzard in Super Bowl XLVIII Would Be a Big Win for Football →
Dating back as far as human history takes us, music has consisted of strings, percussion, and wind. With the advent of electricity, we recorded music, but really didn’t nail the electricity/music combination until the electric guitar hit mainstream around the 1970s.
