Is this what Al Gore had in mind when the Intraweb was but a gleam in his eye? Damned if I know. But here I am anyway, pontificating about sports, pop culture, and politicians allegedly cruising for gay sex in airport bathrooms - anything worth talking about, really.

About me: I'm the Online Entertainment Editor which means I'm responsible for, among other things, finding pictures of celebrities, celebutards, and the ever popular "random hotties" and making photo galleries. Yeah, I can't believe I get a pay check and a health plan to do that either. I also blog with alarming regularity about the Philadelphia Phillies (one of my great passions in life) here.

More about me: another great passion of mine is playing, listening to, and writing about rock music. I've been lucky enough to see the world and beyond playing drums for bands like The Pernice Brothers, The Bigger Lovers, and Mazarin over the years. I've reviewed more concerts and records, and interviewed more uninteresting rock stars than I care to remember for The Philadelphia Inquirer. I still write about the rock for magazines like Magnet and Modern Drummer. I love too many artists to mention, but a few of my major faves include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, The Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, and Neil Young.
Still more about me: Born & raised in south Jersey on a steady diet of Birds, Phils, Flyers and boiled potatoes. Phillies season ticket holder from 1978 until 2004, when I moved up to Mercer County and started traveling too much to justify having a 16-game plan. I fondly recall the days of Jim Barniak & Spectrum Wrestling on Prism. I think all sportswriters dress funny and should stay off TV. Except Phil Sheridan. My feelings on the Philadelphia Eagles are not unlike my stance on Belle & Sebastian and the Grateful Dead: Love the music, but most of the fans make me want to hurl.

A few of my favorite things:
You Tube - My favorite waste of time, bar none.
DeLorenzo's Tomato Pie - Best pizza on this or any other planet.
ESPN.com - My second favorite waste of time.
Howard Stern - Truth, justice and T&A.
The Underground Garage on Sirius - Real rock and soul.
WFMU - Freeform radio lives on here.

What can I do for earth day?

Glad you asked. Here’s a handful of ideas:

  • If you’re voting in today’s Pennsylvania Primary, walk, don’t drive, to your local polling place. Carpool if you must.
  • Help spread the idea of “Eco-capitialism,” and raise money for your favorite charity at the same time by giving Trenton’s TerraCycle your unwanted soda bottles, yougurt containers, cookie wrappers and more. Learn more about this company - if your daily commute includes crossing the river on Rt. 1, you drive right past their funky, grafitti-strewn HQ every day - here.
  • Sleep green, in bedding from the Haven by Hotel Collection, manufactured from environmentally friendly textiles, available at Macys.com.
  • Consider pre-cycling: Use cloth napkins and handkerchiefs; pay bills by computer; avoid individually wrapped items; read magazines and newspapers online; get yourself off the mailing lists of companies that keep sending you junk mail (learn how from Proquo.com;) buy items that come in recyclable packaging.
  • Watch Al Gore’s “An Inconvinient Truth” in the dark. Buy from iTunes, spare the earth the discarded packaging.

    1. Places like Wawa have reusable mugs for coffee (I drink atleast two cups a day myself on work days). The refills are cheaper than a paper cup.
