<p>Well, it is now officially fall, the best season of the year. The air gets a little crisper - when it's cool enough to be comfortable, but warm enough not to freeze your nostrils when you inhale. Football is there, comforting me every Sunday - taking me on a roller coaster ride of emotions (being a Giants fan helps). Television shakes off its ...

<p>I've gotten pretty damn close to finishing the script that will put excerpts of my blog on the frontpage - which is the first step of my redesign. (I originally had it backwards. I was going to pretty it up, and then work on content. After some thinking, I realized if I don't get more content up, the novelty of the pretty design will wear off ...

<p>I have to get up in three hours. I stayed up to watch the Giants beat the Cowboys, but instead they get beat up early. I lose hope, but the Giants come back and take the lead with :11 to go. I am ecstatic and will sleep happy.</p><p>BUT WAIT!!!! Matt Bryant kicks the kickoff out of bounds, the Cowboys move it to ...

<p>My favorite comic strip while growing up was <i>Bloom County</i>. The exploits of Opus, Milo, Portnoy, Hodge-Podge, Steve Dallas and of course (the response to Garfield) Bill the Cat. Unfortunately, in 1989, Berkely Breathed, the Pulitzer Prize winning author discontinued the strip as he was getting burned out. (This is similar with what happened to my second favorite strip, <i>Calvin and Hobbes</i>)</p><p>Nevertheless, I have periodically pulled ...

<p>I am a very happy man this week as mine own New York Football Giants were victorious over the hated St. Louis Rams. Not as strong a victory as I had hoped (the offense only picked up one touchdown), but still impressive nonetheless. Next week, they take on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football in High Definition. The defense was better than expected, and the offense ...

<p>Well, I certainly thought my interest would have waned by now, but look at me! I'm still typing!</p><p>Anyway, the reason for the week gap in entries has to do with the hectic nature of the last week at work. Starting Monday, <a href="http://www.rockyallen.com">The Rocky Allen Show</a> - the place of my employ, will begin broadcasting live to our two newest affiliates. Unfortunately, if you ...

<p>The other day, I received an email from someone that I did not expect to hear from, but I guess was the inevitable result of creating a website that bears my name. If you type "chris boylan" into google, my site is the third result (and second unique site) to come up. However, the two results before me and the one after me belong to ...

<p>I received an interesting email from Christopher Boylan earlier and was going to share it, before I stumbled on to this:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/diamond.html">Manufactured Diamonds</a>.</p>

<p>It is an old article, but very interesting nonetheless. It shows how diamonds are soon going to be cheap and readily available. Aren't they too rare to be cheap? No, they are not as rare as you would believe. They are so ...

<p>Well, it happened. This Sunday afternoon - on opposite corners - two high school bikini car washes set up shop, each trying to lure the sexually frustrated out of their homes for a little automobile cleansing (not a sick metaphor). One is disturbing enough... but two is just a sign of the impending Apocalypse. </p>

<p>Undaunted, and being the young capitalists they are, they soon realized that ...

<p>As many of you may know, I am a huge fan of <i>The Wire</i>, which has surpassed <i>Sports Night</i> as my favorite TV show of all time. This Sunday, season 2 comes to its climax - a moment I have been anticipating since early June when the season began.</p>

<p>Season 1 was simply outstanding. A complex, interwoven plot both propelled you forward to the edge ...
