Bostonians calling for blood, media drawing it. A Jamaica Plain woman was killed yesterday when a section of ceiling from a highway tunnel failed and crushed the car that 38-year-old Milena Delvalle rode in. Her husband, 46-year-old Angel Delvalle was able to escape through the inches of opening that remained between the 12-tons of panels [...]
Two Sports Illustrated articles surfaced today worth mentioning. First of all, Italian defenseman Marco Materazzi admitted insulting French star Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup final. This comes as no surprise, because I don’t think anyone truly thought Zidane knocked Materazzi flat on his ass unprovoked. It still doesn’t excuse it but my previous post [...]

In the article, Dratch quotes the president of Framingham-based Versatile Information Systems: The fact that the web is a vast source of information is [...]

That’s the buzz around the swashbuckling sequel, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” which formally opened on Friday. I had a chance to attend one of [...]

In an educationally sound move, Apple Computer is offering a version of its iMac computer to students and teachers for $899. This isn’t a new development, because Apple has been offering student discounts for over 20 years, but keep in mind that the iMac starts at $1,200. So for $899, the educational discount is a [...]
Well, I‘m back. I had an amazing time in Las Vegas, seeing the sights, gambling and eating some of the world’s finest and worst cuisine. I ended up winning just enough money playing poker to pay for the trip and food and cover my losses at the craps tables. By the way, if you ever [...]
