SeaWorld, the family-friendly and awesome oceanic life theme park, is opening a brand new roller coaster called Manta just 22 Days from now in May. You might remember a while back an ad that ran on this site and a contest I wrote about for “Manta Mania,” – well here it is, folks! Manta Mania…

Got an Itch for HDTV? Scratch it With Charter
If you’re only recently aware that the 21st century has brought people into current technologies like HDTV, high-speed internet and internet-based phone service (VOIP, or voice-over-internet-protocol), you probably have been wondering what all the fuss is about.

Weekend Update: Ides of March
That’s right my fateful brethren, it’s March 15th, the Ides of March. I’ve successfully avoided this fated day by sleeping most of the way through it. I woke up today (the final time) around 2pm. I got up and got some microwavable breakfast and then tooled away at the computer the rest of the day.…

Crazy May Make Me or Kill Me
This morning I picked up on a Tweet from @tedmurphy via @benspark‘s reply Tweet, and based on his quick 140-character-or-less review decided to go see what article he was talking about.

Cute Overload: Dolphins Blowing Bubbles
My work schedule for this month has been kind of crazy, but good. Coming in late, working late, going home late, staying up late, then sleeping in late. The day winds down a lot after 5pm, and I saw this video of dolphins blowing bubbles and playing with them. The video is posted at SeaWorld’s…
Contest: Win a Trip for 4 to SeaWorld to Ride MANTA
Ted Murphy and some of the Izea gang went to SeaWorld recently to take a hard-hat tour of the still under construction awesome mega-coaster, Manta. The coolest thing about this new ride is that you are apparently riding laying straight out strapped to the underside of a giant manta, and you go through loops and…
Some Upcoming Posts, and Life Updates
This morning I went to my doctor. I’ve been sick lately, since at least last Wednesday, with flu-like symptoms. My coworker Brian went to the doctor for his, and came back with a sinus infection diagnosis. I figured I’d be the same probably. But the day didn’t go all nice and smooth, that would have…
