Yesterday Muhammad Ali was laid to rest and a parade of speakers, famous and not so famous, eulogized this man. From Senator Orin Hatch to Billy Crystal to President Bill Clinton they all had words that were meaningful, funny and sad. It was an amazing service. Most people don't remember that he was not well liked by a great majority of the count …

Can anybody say fantasy? This Marvel looking exoskeleton is actually real. The prototype 'mecha-exosuit' called the NK-01 is a nod to the Robert Downey Jr Iron Man movies as it's been put together by a team who obviously love comic books and cartoons. The coolest part is that it can be piloted by a person wearing the suit. They say not to get a …
I think we might want to start locking up our laundry detergent and making sure we have a password for our WiFi. Sometime last week a naked 28 year old man was arrested after he broke into a north Georgia home through a pet door. He entered the home nude to shower, wash his laundry and to use the owner’s WiFi. The police incident report says th …

It was in the afternoon around 1p and the …
It's Saturday morning and I woke up with a smile and a warm feeling. No I was not in the shower, nor was it from the sun streaming in the windows, I was just walking down the stairs to write my blog. I realized that my feeling was a result of having all my children in my house at the same time. It might seem funny to some, but being under one roo …
Here's something new for you to do this weekend. If you have an iPhone, here's a list of questions and statements to ask/say to Siri. She has quite a sense of humor. Maybe Norm can book her for some events :) Or is she the next Friar? Or do I have too much time on my hands ;) What is zero divided by zero? When is the world going to end? (If you'r …
