It seems the Quakes weren’t going to let a silly little thing like the holiday weekend slow them down. There is quite a bit of news out today that should hopefully give the fans a few more reasons to stay positive about the team throughout the week.

That little thing I like to call LIFE is getting kind of hectic up in hurr and I think it’s time for me to actively seek a co-blogger. I’ve been meaning to open this up to the floor for a while and I figure – hey – the Quakes actually won a game so [...]

There was a power outage at my job Saturday morning, and to make a long story short, all the systems crashed. So I spent most of that morning getting everything back up and running again. I managed to revive the company’s IT infrastructure and I still had enough time to go home, take [...]

In the course of a few hours I wound up following three different soccer games in three different cities: the Quakes/Revs game in Foxborough, the SF Seals game in San Francisco, and the Chivas/DC game in Los Angeles. (The Chivas game was brought to me via the magical gods of SMS and my friend [...]
