On the DL : Movin’ Right Along

On the DL : Movin’ Right Along

They say it’s the end, but we all know better. They’re just Movin’ Right Along until the next idea or opportunity strikes them. Dan Levy and Nick Tarnowski aired their final episode of “On the DL Podcast” today, and I was pleased to contribute a voice mail, and BTTF reference to the show. Accompanying the [...]

Take a Look, It’s in a book!

Take a Look, It’s in a book!

I’ve never been a book person. I’ve always gotten by in life by reading the minimal amount possible. Which is probably the main reason I’m such a horrible writer (if you haven’t noticed already). It’s not that I don’t enjoy learning, or the content. It’s the physical act of reading a book that always killed [...]

The Taxman Cometh

The Taxman Cometh

It’s getting closer to Tax Day, so I figured now would be a good time to discuss the taxes here at Gunaxin. I don’t write posts like this because I just like sharing all of our business details with the world. I do it because I think it’s helpful to people who are starting their [...]

At the Wizards Game with Cîroc

At the Wizards Game with Cîroc

Tonight I was invited by the folks at Cîroc (another fabulous Diageo brand) to join them in a suite at the Verizon Center for the Wizards final home game of the season. The opponent was the Boston Celtics, who decided to bench their entire starting lineup and still took the Wiz to overtime. Their fan [...]

Updating the Media Kit

Updating the Media Kit

I originally put together the Gunaxin Media kit in early 2010. Since then I have updated the information a few times, but hadn’t found the time to put more effort into it. Today, I found that time, and did a more thorough update to the media kit. Since it contains screenshots of the page, and [...]

Day at the Zoo

Day at the Zoo

Today I spent the day at the National Zoo with my sister and her kids who came to visit from Michigan. I don’t see them very often, so it’s nice to have a flexible schedule which allows for such things. I knocked out my real work early in the morning, and late at night, which [...]

Gunaxin Bracket Challenge

Gunaxin Bracket Challenge

This year, rather than host a big bracket challenge with our entire community (everyone seems to do that), we did a more modest competition amongst Gunaxin Contributors. So for the NCAA Tournament, I put up $50 in prize money, and invited our contributors to participate. We had 12 entries : As you can see, in [...]

Upgrading to WordPress 3.1

Upgrading to WordPress 3.1

On Friday I finally tackled an update that I’ve put off for far too long, the move to WordPress 3.1. Sadly the site has been on WordPress 2.92, despite the fact that 3.0 was released in June of 2010. The reason for the delay? I was scared that some of my hacks to WordPress would [...]

Fan Appreciation with the Capitals

Fan Appreciation with the Capitals

Tonight was Fan Appreciation Day for the Washington Capitals, one of my favorite days to cover the team. I was in the press box with our brother site, Capitals Outsider. After the game, the Capitals give the jerseys off their backs to selected fans, and for the second year in a row I was able [...]

In Vegas with Captain Morgan

In Vegas with Captain Morgan

As the somewhat tired slogan goes, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” But does that old adage apply when you’re with a group of bloggers whose travel has been covered by brands that are probably expecting a bit of coverage for their hospitality? I suppose not, so I’ll fill you in on some of [...]
