Anyone know anything about snow throwers?  Not a snow blower, but at thrower.  Someone recommended them – they’re cheaper than blowers, and they run on electricity, which is nice.  They don’t appear to be super heavy duty, but any help in this winter of snowmageddons/snowpocalypses (snowpocalypsi?) would definitely be a plus.  This one has decent [...]

The 2011 Nick’s Marathon has officially ended, and what a weekend!
We played some great video games, like Donkey Kong Country Returns, Beatles Rock Band, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.  We also played some downright bad games (Dirty Harry and International Cricket, I’m looking at you.) But the important thing is [...]

Hey, thanks for coming to my site – I really do appreciate it.  But instead of being here, you should be at nicksmarathon.com!
That’s where the action is this weekend – we’re playing video games, and you can watch us and chat with us live!  And of course, you can donate some money (as little or [...]

Oh boy!
Star Wars is coming to Blu-Ray – and there’s an official date: September 27!  I still don’t have a Blu-Ray player, but between this and the complete Lost collection, clearly I need one.  The biggest question is how “special” these editions will be.  Will the prequels get new effects?  It sure would be nice [...]

So should I get [...]

Wow, time sure does fly.  Was it really a whole year ago that my son was born?  Everyone tells you that it will, but it’s a whole other thing to actually experience it.  I put together a video of Eli’s life so far (watch it on his FB page!), and it is absolutely mind-blowing to [...]

I know what you’re thinking – ONLY four?  Well yeah, for now at least…

If Superman’s hair is so strong that it can hold all that weight, how is it so easily cut?
When Superman brings the kid into space to shim the beauty of Earth, why doesn’t the kid, you know, die?  Sure, one could argue [...]

They are both great! But overrated.
The wife and I finally watched all six episodes of AMC’s The Walking Dead, and caught the movie Black Swan. The Walking Dead is a really fun show, and it’s easy to see it having a pretty solid run. The characters are interesting and the zombie [...]

Happy New Year, loyal alannoah.com readers!
Sorry for my little “sabbatical” from new posts for a while, but with the Holidays things got a bit crazy, and I wanted my Nick’s Marathon post to stay at the top of the page for a while anyway. (Have you helped the cause yet? Now is a [...]
