Book(s) Update

Well, as I mentioned on Friday, proof copies of my two books The Kind-Hearted Smartass - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue (Uncensored Version) and The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue (Censored Version) should arrive here between Wednesday and Saturday, I'm guessing. So, as long as I'm satisfied with the quality of the products, they should become available for purchase by early next week.

My proofreader was able to read through the third book I'll be releasing this year, entitled, LOL at the GOP - Volume 4: Guns, Jesus, Corporations, and Fetuses. I've fixed the errors she discovered and will be working on the book's cover today. I already have an idea in mind for it, so hopefully it won't take me too terribly long, and this book could potentially become available in as early as a week and a half to two weeks.

I've yet to hear if my proofreader has read much of my fourth upcoming book - LOL at the GOP - Volume 5: You Can't Spell "Forgot To Take Their Crazy Pills" Without "Tea Party." I'm having trouble coming up with a cover idea for this book, but will come up with something one of these days.

I'm still undecided whether to release the two LOL at the GOP books together or separate. I suppose that may partially depend on how soon I can get the first two books out, how quickly I can complete the cover for the third book, and how quickly my proofreader can finish reading the fourth.

Well, that's all I have to share for the time being. I typically update readers on these matters on Mondays, but have a feeling I'll be updating you sooner than that, due to everything that's bound to happen in the coming week. Stay tuned...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
