Sidney Crosby is good, NHL is dumb

Crosby shot in the shootout

Dave Benoit and I went to the Stars game against the Penguins tonight. Not like anyone needs to hear it from me, but Sidney Crosby looks really good. The Stars lost in a shootout tonight.

Dave and I missed a huge chunk of the first period waiting for our Pizza Hut pizza to cook. Why are there so many concession issues at the AAC?

Enthusiasm and excitement grew as the game progressed. At the end of regulation the place was rockin’. My photos from the game will be up on Flickr soon are up on Flickr now.

It is really sad that this will be the Penguins only visit to Dallas until the 2009-2010 season. Why you ask? Because the NHL executives and owners are too dumb to market a great sport correctly. Hey Bettman, Sid the Kid needs to be at the AAC every year just like LeBron and D Wade in basketball.

McKinney Cheerleaders hit the big time

2006-2007 McKinney North Cheerleaders

Newsweek is all over the McKinney cheerleader story: Boozing, bikinis and bullying: how the scandalous behavior of five high-school cheerleaders rocked a bedroom community near Dallas.

The pictures posted on MySpace.com looked like the latest installment of “Girls Gone Wild.” In them, cheerleaders from McKinney North High School in Texas exhibited all variety of bawdy behavior. One shot showed a bikini-clad girl sharing a bottle of booze with a friend. Another featured a cheerleader and several other girls in risqué poses offering glimpses of their panties. But the most infamous photo of all was taken in a Condoms To Go store. Five smiling cheerleaders dressed in uniform posed with large candles shaped like penises. At least one of them appeared to be simulating fellatio. “It would be an overstatement to describe any of the photographs as pornographic, but it would be an understatement to describe them as harmless high jinks,” wrote Harold Jones, a lawyer hired by the school district to investigate the incident. “Quite frankly, I personally found it ‘creepy’.”

In now way am I condoning this behavior, but these girls are living out the lifestyles they see reflected all around them in popular culture. Is anyone concerned about that?

Thomas Hawk: Defending Your Rights

The Right to Bear SLRs

Hawk maintains that his obstinacy over public photography is about more than razzing local rent-a-cops. “I want to educate people — photographers and security guards — about their rights,” he says.

Well done Thomas!

How many Megapixels do you need?

This post is going to get a lot of people riled up, I know, because in THEORY, you should be able to see a difference. But you can’t.
