    Tony Gwynn Dead at 54

    Sad day. I've been a lifelong Padres fan and got to see #19 play on numerous occasions and it was always a treat watching his approach at the plate and just plain driving pitchers crazy. Here's my favorite Tony Gwynn stat:

    Chromecast issues

    Bought 2 Chromecast's on release day and really haven't had any issues. Both are plugged into receiver's and powered with the supplied adapter. A couple weeks back it seemed like it couldn't see my router (ASUS RT-N66U) but after rebooting the router they've been working fine again. I was...

    Verizon Unlimited data users, next phone choice?

    Hold out hope that something changes and they carry the next Nexus (ha!). Otherwise stick it out with my Gnex. I got in on the free extended battery deal from Sprint so that helps. CM 10.2 has my phone running nice again so there's real no big sense of urgency at the moment.

    RIP Dennis Farina

    Great character actor and enjoyed his performances in Elmore Leonard's works (Out of Sight, Get Shorty).

    *OFFICIAL* MLB 2013 thread

    I believe Nolan Ryan did it a couple times. But probably the best example of this feat would be another Cincinnati Red, Johnny Vander Meer. Vander Meer pitched a no-hitter in consecutive starts in 1938.

    foods you wish you had discovered way before you did

    Poutine. In fact with the exception of a few Gastropubs I frequent I don't really see it being served around here. Same. My trip to Vegas next month can't get here soon enough.

    When will Leonardo DiCaprio win an Oscar?

    He'll probably get a shot with "The Wolf of Wall Street". He's on an acting break right now so if he doesn't win next year then it could be awhile.

    Denver Broncos Super Bowl XLVII Champions!

    Being a So Cal sports fan (Padres, Chargers), seeing the Giants win the World Series and now the division rival Broncos win the Super Bowl would be devastating to see. Which going by San Diego sports history and fortune; yea it'll probably happen.

    Do we have any rising Movie star(s) who could replace...

    The list of directors Leo has worked with is actually pretty impressive. Best Director Oscar winners Scorsese, Boyle, Spielberg, Eastwood, Mendes and Cameron. Also was in films directed by Christopher Nolan and Sam Raimi and is about to be the villain in a Tarantino movie.

    Do we have any rising Movie star(s) who could replace...

    I'll throw Ryan Gosling out there since I thought he did well in "Half Nelson" and "Blue Valentine". And I actually liked "Drive", but I know it's one of those movies you either like or really, really hate.

    Boardwalk Empire - Season Three

    Reminded me of the episode a few weeks ago where Nucky was having the strange dreams/nightmares. For all the characters and stories they have going on they seem to have trouble filling out the season and do these "distraction"-type episodes. I'll still watch it but yea it's starting to get...

    Poll: Debate or MNF ?

    Set DVR and watch MNF until the debate starts, watch the debate, go back to the DVR and finish MNF and fast-forward through commercials and the halftime recap. No clue how I'm going to squeeze game 7 of the NL Playoffs in there. PiP perhaps?

    Worst of the worst? Chargers caught cheating... and still LOSE.

    Hope so. Rich Bisaccia is the assistant head coach-special teams and I'd think he'd do a fine job and coaches with a lot of fire. Just worried that the change will happen too late. In fact late may have just left the building.

    5 Prejudices That Still Show Up in Every Movie

    I do - it would make the idea behind 'Gattaca' not work at all. No way an asian guy passes off as Jude Law's character as a "borrowed ladder". I believe you meant "Ethan Hunt". But an asian guy in 'Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight' could work. ;)

    Official NFL 2012 Week 5 thread!

    Glad to have Rivers as a QB. Would rather have a fired up QB then a passive, shoulder-shrugging one. But I know A LOT of people who just plain hate him, even a few fellow Chargers fans.

    MLB: NL Wildcard Race

    I was thinking the same thing. It's encouraging and considering it's a lot of young guys under team control for awhile the next few years they should be competitive. Especially when they get their pitching back (Leubke, Stauffer, Wieland and Moseley)

    Smash Burger - AWESOME

    Have a Smash Burger nearby and the place is always dead. I've gone twice (different locations) and the burgers were okay but the fries were terrible. I don't think it's worth going back for what they charge. Five Guys is nearby too and does get a bit more business. In-N-Out still reigns supreme...

    Do Android users refer to the OS name or numbers?

    My friends who really dont care about the latest and greatest are actually savvy enough to know what phones they have and the version on it. Example a couple days ago my friend got a new HTC EVO 4G LTE and asked if I was on Ice Cream Sandwich. I told him no, I have a Nexus and using Jelly Bean...
