Future Texas Longhorn QB Garrett Gilbert took the field for the first time at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium for the first of many Saturdays to come, and his Lake Travis Cavaliers routed the Killeen Kangaroos by a score of 71-9 in the State 4A Quarterfinals.
Gilbert threw for 360 yards and four touchdowns. Unfortunately, he [...]

Well-known author in the Macintosh industry, long time Austin, Texas resident, and former boss of yours truly at Power Computing, Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus finally has a blog! Bob’s actually been blogging for a couple of weeks, but I just found out about it.
Some of my earliest web work was creating an online site for [...]

The skies Monday night were clear as could be for the convergence of the three brightest objects in the night sky, the Moon, Venus and Jupiter.

That’s Venus at six o’clock and Jupiter at four o’clock. Obviously, the Moon is at eleven o’clock.
I shot in a part of my Cedar Park subdivision that is only partially [...]

For those that don’t know, there is an interesting convergence of celestial objects occurring right now. The two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, have been moving closer and closer together over the last few weeks. Tonight and tomorrow night, they are only two degrees apart.
It was a tough night for astrophotography. The convergence occurs just [...]

Order was restored to the universe Thursday evening, with Texas defeating Texas A&M by the largest margin of victory in the series since the 19th century, Mack Brown getting his 200th career win, and the Longhorns taking sole possession of the record for the second most winning program in NCAA football.

While there certainly were some sparse areas, [...]

As a fan, the best thing about an 11am game time is that it means I won’t be [...]

As I discussed perviously, KXAN and LIN had to cut a deal with Time Warner before November 1st. Lo and behold, yesterday the deal got done.
Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed by either side, but I don’t expect that Time Warner gave up much. In a down economy, KXAN simply couldn’t afford the reduction in [...]

On a hot, late October Saturday afternoon, the Oklahoma State Cowboys gave the top ranked Texas Longhorns all they could handle. I was wrong about the Over/Under (I picked the Over), but it certainly was the closest game the Longhorns have played all season. OSU was every bit the top ten team that they were [...]

November 13, 2004 - DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium - Austin, Texas - Oklahoma State is beating Texas by 35-7 with less than two minutes left in the first half. Fair-weather fans are already leaving. Texas puts together a nice drive to go into the half down by three touchdowns. Coach Mack Brown promises the team they’re [...]
