Playing Madden while saving the world

Well done Sony, you've given millions of video gamers a quick comeback to accusations they are wasting time. Playstation 3 will come equipped with software that allows the PS3's unused power to be harnessed into a network that works on cures for, among others, Alzheimer's . So when mom says stop playing video games and [...]

Site Redesign

You may have noticed that Citizen Jake is being redesigned a bit. Hopefully the new site will not only look nicer but also feature some cool new tricks. It's taken a significant amount of trial and error to get things working but let me tell you about some of the new features and you can [...]

Not a chance in hell

There is no way in the world this kid on the Saudi Arabian Little League team is 13 years old. He's 6'8", 256 pounds for one thing but look at the "kid's" picture; he looks like he's an old man. Forget being 16 or 18 or something like that, I think he's 65 at the [...]

Answering Jason Calacanis

Jason Calacanis posts an ethical question on his blog : He's already pre-ordered Bob Dylan's new CD, so is it alright for him to download it for free. Putting aside why Jason can't just burn the CD to his computer or iPod when he gets it (he can't be that impatient can he?) I think [...]

What are you doing Lonny?

Let me get this out there at the start: Juan Dixon, Steve Blake, Lonny Baxter, Chris Wilcox and Byron Muton, the Maryland Terps starting five when they won the NCAA Championship in 2002, can do nothing wrong in my eyes. Sports were never so much fun as that Terps season and it was pretty cool [...]

I am Tony Parker?

Via Deadspin, here's an interesting little quiz that supposedly matches you up with your NBA equivalent. Apparently I'm similar to Tony Parker, who knew? My basketball game is based on hustle and effort; I can't shoot, I can't really dribble, I'm a decent passer and rebounder; but I do play in your face defense. Here's [...]

Everybody’s got a blog now

Everyone's got a blog these days and you can now include Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the ranks of the great unwashed masses out there typing away at their computers late at night. Yes people, the President of Iran has his own blog and this, probably more then anything, marks the offical jumping of the [...]

A dark day in DC sports

This isn't good. First Clinton Portis hurts his shoulder in a meaningless preseason game, now Gilbert Arenas hurts a groin muscle while practicing with the US National team. Freddy Adu and Ryan Zimmerman better watch out cus something's out to get DC sports stars.
I am incapable, by the way, of expressing the emotions I will [...]

New Jackass movie trailer

The gang is back together apparently and o September 22nd the second Jackass movie comes out. From the looks of the trailer it should be pretty good. I wonder what would have happened if YouTube had been around when the show was orginally on. Seems like every Jackass wannabe has their video up on YouTube [...]

Mind Blowing

A new poll has come out that shows that 30% of Americans, almost one third, do not know what year the attacks of September 11th occurred. That, to me, is insane. I can maybe understand people not knowing, oh I don't know, the year of the Pearl Harbor attack or something like that but 9/11 [...]
