Non-BJJ: The Nissan Leaf
I have always been interested in alternative fuels, and have been waiting for a viable, affordable 100% EV to come out. I know it’s early, and that within a year or two the technology will have improved. But, at the same time, my fear is that if no one takes the plunge early, the entire [...]
Aaron Fotheringham – ESPN
A couple years ago now, early in this blog’s life, I posted an article mostly about kids and martial arts, and why I believe that kids (and anyone else) are better served by not protecting them from failure. Failure is an important lesson. I said that that time, “I tell my kids that the difference [...]
non-BJJ: McDonald’s vs Nigel Haskett Follow Up
Following up on the Haskett vs McDonald’s post, from the emails and comments I got, I think the post sounded a little harsher than intended. Even my brother told me I was too harsh. Believe me, that really wasn’t my intention. So I want to clarify a few things. First, I’m sympathetic to the guy [...]
non-BJJ: McDonald’s vs Nigel Haskett
Not a BJJ post, but kind of a self defense related post. I read a lot of blogs. One that I enjoy is Black Belt Mama. She is neither a black belt, nor a mama… wait. Scratch that. She’s a great mama, and is working toward her black belt. I like her and her blog [...]
Good Luck President Obama
Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican or Independent, we enter a new era of politics. Good luck, President Obama. I sincerely hope this is the first day of a new stage of politics in the USA. Only time will tell, but I will admit to cautious optimism. —– Posted on Stevebjj.com All content copyright ©2006-2009 by [...]
Tapout Season 2 – CamPAIN ’08
Did anyone else watch the first season of Tapout? Well, it looks like Versus is getting ready to air Season 2. I have to say I’m looking forward to it. I’m not all that crazy about the WWE style promotion, the war paint or the generally obnoxious behavior. What I do enjoy is the highlight [...]
Quick Post from DisneyWorld
Having fun so far, in spite of a little rain. My kids are at a great age for the parks, although having a pregnant wife means that I have to do more of the thrill rides than I’m used to. Here are a couple of quick pictures from this morning. I was pleased that my [...]
It’s a Jolly Holiday for… ME!
I know. It’s the season of “staycations” and gas prices going all wonky, but we’re going to DisneyWorld, dammit! With the baby coming in a few months, and my daughter being so damned cute, this is likely our last chance to “get away” for several years. So, I won’t be around for a week or [...]
Kung Fu Theater
I was talking to a friend about the Kung Fu Panda movie out, and that led to the old Kung Fu movies… which led inevitably to Kung Fu Theater. Anyone else watch this? I did just about every weekend on the USA Network back in the 80s. Not everything in the 80′s was bad! —– [...]
