Week In Review

by Marc December 12, 2010

Not too busy of a week for ECG and I’m finally getting to some of the redesign and focus ideas I’ve been wanting to do.  Those are hidden so I don’t mess with the site as it stands today.  I’m pretty stoked to be able to do that.  I’ll be out on the strip with [...]

NHL is Not a Major Sport

by Marc October 11, 2010

I didn’t realize that today was a holiday until I saw that the Rangers and Islanders were playing a matinee.  That made me ask a question: why are they playing Monday afternoon?  Answer: Hockey is not a major sport and it really doesn’t matter.  It wasn’t that way when I was growing up.  There were [...]

Week In Review

by Marc October 10, 2010

The thing I’m most happy from the past week is that there is closure, for the time being, on the Caesars panhandler situation (as it relates to me) in Atlantic City.  Let’s look at the last week in ECG. JMP’s Week 5 NFL Picks Football Challenge: Week 6 Seven Stars Insider – October Edition President [...]

Week In Review

by Marc October 3, 2010

Such an ugly, depressing week on the east coast has turned into a beautiful fall weekend.  I’ve been able to do the lion’s share of my weekend work on my couch with the laptop on drinking coffee.  The only breaks I’ve had during the day are to run to the bathroom and refill my coffee.  [...]

"Bleacher Bums" Movie Review

by Marc September 30, 2010

I don’t remember how I heard about “Bleacher Bums“, but I’m glad I added it to my Netflix queue.  “Bleacher Bums” is a day in the life of Bruins baseball fans in the right field bleachers.  This is modeled off of the real life Cubs bleacher bums.  They talked baseball to the enth degree and [...]

ESPN 30 For 30

by Marc September 8, 2010

I’ve been loving ESPN’s 30 for 30 series.  Most of the docs are well above average, but of course some (Winning Time:Reggie Miller vs. NY Knicks, Run Ricky Run) are better than others (Straight Outta LA, The Band That Wouldn’t Die).  I’m glad ESPN decided to do a project like this.  These aren’t stories that [...]

Week In Review

by Marc July 25, 2010

Crazy week at ECG.  The big news was the plan for major changing in horse racing and Atlantic City.  The plans seem major, but they’re just plans and this is coming from the government, so I’m taking a wait and see while watching how things unfold. This week will be the beginning of significant changes [...]

Week In Review

by Marc July 11, 2010

Lots of good stuff this week on ECG.  I’m going to slowly start ECG 4.0 in the next few weeks.  I’m going to try to do this behind the scenes, but my lack of programming skills may not allow that.  So if the site looks as if it’s under construction then it probably is.  This [...]

Louis Theroux "Gambling In Las Vegas"

by Marc May 17, 2010

I was checking the TripAdvisor Atlantic City message board and saw a link to the 2007 documentary by Louis Theroux “Gambling In Las Vegas.” This is a cool look behind at a weekend of gambling with high rollers at The Hilton.  This shows the fun parts and bad parts of gambling.  You can watch the [...]
