When I decided that I was going to volunteer for the Obama campaign last month, I really didn't have any idea of where I wanted to go. My only criteria were: I wanted to spend my time in a state that really mattered, and I wanted to go somewhere I had never been before, preferably out West.

With three weeks to go, time is running short for McCain to find any way to climb out of the deep hole he's in.

Up until recently, not knowing what I wanted to do in life really weighed me down.

Don't tell anyone this, but ... I think I might be addicted to American Idol.

Why, hello, Old Man Winter. It's been awhile since we've last met.

They might as well have called this one the Detroit Hold-Up, because that's essentially what happened tonight in Super Bowl XL as the Seattle Seahawks were robbed.

It's the end of January in New York, and as any foodie knows, that means it's time for Winter Restaurant Week.

It's been an up and down start to the new year, filled with as many highs and lows as our schizophrenic weather of late.

2005 was a kick-ass year.

With the recent release of Firefox 1.5, I thought I'd take a moment to list a few of the extensions that make an already great browser even better.

First, a last second buzzer-beater in OT to win the game. Then the longest shootout in NHL history is won by a circus shot. Yes, it certainly was a wild Saturday at the Garden for its two primary tenants, the Knicks and Rangers.

Because really, what's a turkey got to be happy about today?

It's a truly fantastic exhibit to behold, and despite the crowds, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit, especially if you are a van Gogh fan like I am.

Although I still hold to my atheist beliefs, I have found myself becoming more receptive to the idea of spirituality in the past couple of years.
