In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Nuovo was finally accepted into the WordPress Theme Directory and is available for anyone to download and use. It’s been an incredible relief to finally get this done … Continue reading “Finally in the WordPress Theme Directory”
Dear Sepp Blatter, Congratulations. You managed to tick off one the largest countries and one of the best investigative bodies in the world and now you and FIFA are going to pay for it. And you’re going to have zero sympathy from the people who support the game which you and your minions have destroyed. … Continue reading “An Open Letter to Sepp Blatter and FIFA”

For the past year-and-a-half or so, the Rangers trade with the Tigers for first baseman Prince Fielder looked like a complete dud. Fielder only saw the field for 42 games last year, hitting just three home runs and batting in only 16 runs before ending his season with neck surgery. And then this year got … Continue reading “Prince Fielder’s Awakening Bat Leading Rangers Emerging Offense”
Promotion and relegation in soccer can sometimes be the most exciting thing in sports. As the season winds down, there’s drama at both the top and bottom of the standings.

Over the weekend I knocked out the header template, staying close to how things are to be done in HTML5 and what not. This week I’ve been working on the footer and homepage … Continue reading “Continuing the Giornalismo Rebuild”
Over the past year-plus, FC Dallas has become known for its flashy offense. Between Mauro Diaz, Fabian Castillo, Blas Perez and Tesho Akindele, the Hoops certainly have no shortage of highlight-real playmakers.

Scoring points/goals/runs is nice and all, but it … Continue reading “FC Dallas Needs Defense to be on Point to Carry the Team”
Soccer is a great sport. From the gamesmanship tactics to the awesome goals that are scored, there’s a reason the sport is called “the beautiful game.” But last week, the ugly underside of the game made an unfortunate appearance. Last Thursday, South American power clubs Boca Juniors and River Plate went into half time tied 0-0 … Continue reading “Incident at Boca Juniors vs. River Plate Match Shows Ugly Side of Fandom”
Since Affirmed won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978, no horse has completed the quest to conquer horse racing’s three top races. In the 36 years since, 13 horses have won the Derby and Preakness but failed to finish first in the Belmont. Enter American Pharaoh. American Pharaoh, who entered the Kentucky Derby … Continue reading “American Pharaoh’s Quest for Triple Crown Will End One Way — Disappointment”
Look, I know needing a two-out hit in the ninth to avoid being no-hit and I know nearly becoming the opponent in back-to-back no hitters is a very poor look, but the Miami Marlins’ upper management really overreacted this past weekend. Just 23 minutes or so after Justin Bour singled up the middle to thwart … Continue reading “Miami Marlins Screwed up Managerial Change”
So the semester has ended for me and with it comes more time to do stuff. With the extra time, I started the re-coding for Giornalismo. The goal of the rewrite is to document things better and to make sure all of the code is up to the WordPress standard. Hopefully this results in a … Continue reading “Rebooting Giornalismo”
