After a career of note in the NHL as one of the league's most under-rated netminders, I have now decided to share my astute knowlege of hockey and what teams are great and what teams are not. Oh yeah, and Dion Phaneuf's amazing no-backswing slapshot!

No need to upgrade to a video capable 5th generation iPod. Not if you have the iSee 360i from Advanced Technology Office.
you can plug any analog source in the back and record video files through the iSee. As with other PMPs, you can then watch your movies on the iSee screen or play them back at 640x480 on any TV. So basically what you’re doing is using the iPod for disk storage of the digital video captured by this doohickey

That's one big jelly fish. Too bad there isn't just one.
And congratulations to the Vatican on avoiding becoming a laughing stock in the next century.

He may have been the ultimate icon of 1950s conformity and postwar complacency, but Dwight D. Eisenhower was an iconoclast, visionary, and the Cassandra of the New World Order. Upon departing his presidency, Eisenhower issued a stern, cogent warning about the burgeoning "military industrial complex," foretelling with ominous clarity the state of the world in 2004 with its incestuous entanglement of political, corporate, and Defense Department interests.Last night on the Daily Show, Stewart invited filmaker Eugene Jarecki onto the program to plug his award-winning 'Why We Fight'(buy here), a film I think any voting citizen should watch. I'm not sure, but I imagine it was spawned by the recent book of the same name, by William J. Bennett.
Sidenote - this is not a remake of the series of seven films of WWII propaganda

Raking Leafs is where I'll be tending the to the Leafs. A greenhouse, or garden if you will.

Of course my iPod can pick up FM radio...right after Stern went to satellite.
Ok, I think I've reached my breaking point. Toronto Maple Leafs bloggers either suck, are too infrequent with their posts, or simply don't exist. This will not stand. I know there are folks out there, including myself, who want a player by player analysis, atleast at the mid-way point of the season, maybe even quarterly. Game recaps would be nice as well. Every game, that is. The Leafs are changing, and with it, so to should their online prescence change, and I want to be part of it. But not here. This place is for me.
Must plan and prepare. (smells smoke)

Karma is a bitch
Ok, I've been searching online hockey resources high and low for a mention of one of the hottest goal scorers of the past month, and not a word. Since I've got him on both my fantasy squads, I might as well tell the world. Michel Ouellet is a goal scorer.
Brought up from the Baby(March of the)Penguins by Therrien when he took over the reins, Michel has 10 goals and 16 points in ten games since 12/16/05, with 12 points on the powerplay. Only Iyla and Cheechoo have more goals in the last 30 days. That is more than Svatos, Prucha, Cammalleri, Crosby, Hossa, Gaborik, Sullivan, Lehtinen, Jokinen...I could go on.

Hip to be Waived
Alexander "Life Alert" Mogilny placed on waivers by Lou "Mr. Nice Guy" Lamoriello to free up cap space. I guess after one game with Elias back and playing quite well, he thinks his team has a chance to make the dance this year. I wonder what other moves Shifty Lou has in store?
When Ferguson let Almo walk, I feared the most skilled player Quinn had ever coached would come back to bite the Leafs where they didn't need it. I'm not confident he'll be picked up by any other team, given his ailing hip, but I be relieved until he clears.

MAGlite LED conversion
Apparently PuckUpdate hasn't had the pleasure of watching a Leafs' game with Glenn Healy reporting from between the benches on Rogers Sportsnet. He picks up on the chatter, the mood, the coaching changes, basically the subtleties of the game. Healy can be grating at times, but like most ex-goalies, he can read the game extremely well.
