In Black!!)   in the Swag Shop.


These items feature the text logo from our parent group, Cold Rage Soul Entertainment...which, in turn, is a division of Cold Rage Soul Enterprises.


There&rsquo;s also one of these things:


Apparently, all the rage with the kids these days. 


Some items have been removed.   (The ones you weren&rsquo;t buying).   But rest assured, thongs are still available.   Not gonna stop production on the moneymaker.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Cities&#x2c; 2008</title><dc:creator>postmaster@douglascoler.com</dc:creator><category>Poppycock</category><dc:date>2009-01-01T06:33:10-05:00</dc:date><link>http://www.douglascoler.com/blog/files/cities2008.html#unique-entry-id-200</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.douglascoler.com/blog/files/cities2008.html#unique-entry-id-200</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Where I was last year:


Charlotte, NC+


...Tampa, FL


Davidson, NC


Blowing Rock, NC


New York, NY *


Vero Beach, FL #, *


Orlando, FL *


...The plus sign is home base, pound symbol denotes long-term stays of more than a month, and asterisk means multiple non-consecutive visits. 


I feel like I travelled a lot more than I did, and I&rsquo;m surprised that I didn&rsquo;t go West at least once.

Hockey tickets are easy to come by and no real drain on the wallet, and I can easily get seats at the glass on the Blue Line for most games, but good basketball seats are another animal entirely.   Time Warner Cable Arena is not like the old LA Sports Arena, where one could pay $10 for corner nosebleed seats, but move down several sections when the crowd realized they were watching the Clippers. ...  Now $10 will get you in the door, but when you do get your corner nosebleed seat, heavily armed security makes sure you stay in your assigned section. ...  If one doesn&rsquo;t mind standing around the nacho stand, one can generally have a good view of the action from the eateries.   I don&rsquo;t know that I&rsquo;d want to make a habit of it, but security isn&rsquo;t going to hassle you if you&rsquo;re spending money on over-priced hot dogs or chowing on same while standing at the rail. 


...He and Binx got into it last week, and Binx was limping around for a few days, but now seems resigned to being Alpha Cat Emeritus.   The new male, whom I&rsquo;ve dubbed Wannabe, bears a striking resemblance to our Sophie, so much so that each of the girls at least once have let him in the house, mistakenly believing him at first glance to be Sophie.   This confuses the other cats, but both Twidge and Cisco appear fascinated by him and follow him at a safe distance to see what he&rsquo;s getting up to. ...  My hope is that he&rsquo;ll be enough of a presence to ward off the other random one that comes around, the mysterious round-headed black cat. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>The Fix Is In</title><dc:creator>postmaster@douglascoler.com</dc:creator><category>Folderol</category><dc:date>2008-07-21T23:15:20-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.douglascoler.com/blog/files/fix_is_in.html#unique-entry-id-196</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.douglascoler.com/blog/files/fix_is_in.html#unique-entry-id-196</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Kevin and Jimbo, my guys in development, were under the gun to fix the display problems that have recently vexed us.    Some javascript code needed rewriting, a bit of css required noodling, and I had to personally contact a trusted advisor (Thanks, Aron!).    Some sleep was lost, and not a small amount of blood, but corrections were made.   Corrections that, left undone, may very well have cost the company untold tens of dollars.


The site should now display properly on Firefox, Camino, and Internet Explorer.   If it doesn&rsquo;t, and you can navigate your way to the email page, please do let me know.   I will then decide who is the more expendable, Kevin or Jimbo.   (Right now, due to an unrelated matter, its Jimbo, but Kevin isn&rsquo;t exactly a boy wonder any more, either.)]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Things On My Mind&#x2c; Part 3</title><dc:creator>postmaster@douglascoler.com</dc:creator><category>Folderol</category><dc:date>2008-07-19T20:21:47-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.douglascoler.com/blog/files/things_on_my_mind_part_3.html#unique-entry-id-195</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.douglascoler.com/blog/files/things_on_my_mind_part_3.html#unique-entry-id-195</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[&bull; The new design that the boys in R & D slaved over, this very one you&rsquo;re looking at right now, is massively broken in Firefox, and Camino browsers, and behaves a bit strangely in Internet Explorer. 

...Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and the upcoming Dollhouse, has unleashed a demented, sentimental, outrageous, and tender musical exploration of a would-be supervillian, a moronically macho super hero, and the girl in the middle. ...  Horrible, and Firefly&rsquo;s Nathan Fillion is his nemesis, Captain Hammer, and Felicia Day is Penny, the girl they both love.   All three do outstanding work, and it&rsquo;s hard to imagine a better ending than the one Whedon serves up.   Watch, and be rewarded with great songs, a touching love story, subtle and not-so-subtle humor, and a glimpse of the inner circle of the Evil League of Evil, including the nefarious leader, Bad Horse.


&bull; The Clippers pick up Marcus Camby from the Nuggets in exchange for the option to switch second round picks in 2010. ...  I don&rsquo;t know what Denver was thinking, but the addition of another big man helps the Clips ease the sting of losing Elton Brand.   It&rsquo;s not a long term fix, but it won&rsquo;t hurt in the short run.


&bull; I don&rsquo;t remember any details of the dream I had last night, but I do know it involved me playing for the San Diego Chargers. 

...Most days, I can be seen as the gladiator Lucullus at the &ldquo;A Day In Pompeii&rdquo; exhibit at Discovery Place in Charlotte. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Now That&#x27;s Comedy&#x21;</title><dc:creator>postmaster@douglascoler.com</dc:creator><category>Bunkum</category><dc:date>2008-07-09T23:31:49-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.douglascoler.com/blog/files/now_thats_comedy.html#unique-entry-id-194</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.douglascoler.com/blog/files/now_thats_comedy.html#unique-entry-id-194</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Baron Davis opts out of his Golden State Warriors contract to join Chris Kaman, Corey Magette,  and Elton Brand in Los Angeles, setting the stage for a new era in Clipper land.   Magette then takes a huge offer from the Warriors, leaving LA behind.   Brand, one of the league&rsquo;s most sought after free agents, assures Los Angeles fans that he wants to &ldquo;end my career as a Clipper.&rdquo;   Turns out, he meant just that: Brand will sign with the Philadelphia 76ers for 82 million.   Kaman and Davis must be reeling right now.
