Mid-season. Bitter sweet. I wonder how baseball ratings compare to the NFL? The Tigers in the Series is exciting, but it would be nothing compared to the Lions being in the Super Bowl. Michigan would go crazy. This could be Chicago's week to lose. Remem… more »

?Another down week - and this week, I was actually down picking games even. But seriously, how many people actually picked Green Bay, Houston, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, Oakland, and Minnesota to actually be able to beat their opponents? Those games right t… more »

No spreads over ten points this week - which is good for me. I have no clue what to do with those games! Not that I'm much better on the rest of the games! This could be Oakland's best chance to get a win, but Arizona should be hungry to get back on the… more »

The best way to ensure that I never actually put real money on games is to have back to back weeks like I've had the past two weeks. They weren't both bad, and that's the issue. If I could be consistent either way, then I'd be OK. If I was always good, t… more »

Once again, I'm late. But at?least it's before the games start! Buffalo (-1.5) vs. Detroit (40.5 O/U)Carolina vs. Baltimore (-3) (33 O/U)Cincinnati (-7) vs. Tampa Bay (43 O/U)Houston* vs. Dallas (-13.5) (43 O/U)New York Giants vs. Atlanta (-3) (41.5 O/U)… more »

Last night, I gave my talk on Code Generation and CodeSmith, and I think it went fairly well. I promised I would post the templates I created as well as my slides, which?you can get here.?The slides are relatively useless. as there's not much details abo… more »

Martin Fowler has a post title DesignedInheritence?which talks about the reasoning behind only allowing inheritence where the library developer specifies versus allowing inheritence anywhere. The reasoning for only allowing inheritence where the library… more »

On Tuesday, I agreed to fill in for a colleague and speak at the next West Michigan .NET User Group meeting, which happens to be next Tuesday (October 10th). It's short notice, but I'm sure I'll have time to throw together a pretty decent presentation on… more »

I've seen more 10+ spreads this season than I ever have before! And this week brings a new high. The Colts are an 18.5 point favorite! When you think about it, it makes sense - who wouldn't be surprised to see a 35-10 game? Remember, the Titans got plast… more »
