Lots of commercials for The Masters, reallllllllly meaningless baseball games, and endless talk of The Bubble can only mean one thing: Spring is almost here. And what better way to help bring Spring in than to have a little Great Wahl March Madness Competition?!

That’s right, I’ve setup a March Madness Bracket Challenge [...]

I had this little Christmas light photo shoot competition with my father this weekend inspired by Gizmodo’s weekly challenge.

I submitted our two best photos last night, but only one made it to the website. I’m guessing they chose mine because it’s better, but maybe they just wouldn’t accept two photos from the same [...]

I know there are a few amateur, and semi-professional, photographers in the Great Wahl crowd. I’ve started to upload a few of my photos (many, many more to come) and happened to stumble across a little quick competition from Gizmodo last night.

It’s been a while since I’ve thrown a Mental Floss Brain Game up here. Monday morning seems like a good time for one. It’ll help jump start your brain after a nice weekend of football:

The nine squares that make up the main grid should be filled with the digits 1 through 9. Two [...]

In a world filled with Seinfeld/Gates commercials, random “I’m a PC” people searching for cheap computers, and endless other garbage over the years, it’s easy to believe that getting a creative/entertaining/halfway-decent Microsoft TV ad is nearly impossible. Until now.

MSFT apparently hired a new ad agency, and it was a good move. Office [...]

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

I played 18 holes today at one of my favorite courses, Autumn Ridge. The course was in great shape and they are running a $40 for 18 holes w/ cart on the weekend special, a really good value.
