Bret Hart returns to Raw tonight!

WWE Hall of Famer and former multiple-time world champion Bret "The Hitman" Hart returns to Raw tonight as the guest host, a role that will somehow segue into a returning spot until at least Wrestlemania 26.

I have decidedly mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I'm a huge Bret Hart fan (meeting him years ago when working for the Edmonton Sun was a gigantic thrill) and he was my favorite wrestler ever, so it will be good to see him return, even if his WWE deal is just for a few months.

On the other hand, I can count on one hand the number of potential big-money angles the WWE has done properly in the last few years. Frankly, I have every expectation that they're going to botch this spectacularly and Bret will be "just another guy" within a couple of weeks.

Ah, well, let's live in hope for tonight and see what happens.

My wife and I booked a tenting trip to Yellowstone National Park last summer. We had never been there before and were really excited to go, but weren't thrilled that we were sleeping in a tent in bear country. We are fundamentally too cheap to buy a camper trailer, and our Toyota Rav4 doesn't have a big enough engine to pull anything larger than a ladybug anyway, so our options were pretty limited. During a discussion of those limited options just weeks ahead of the Yellowstone trip, I Google'd "car camping Rav4" and discovered there's a whole sub-culture out there of people who have retrofitted their Rav4 vehicles to sleep in the back. We started devouring other people's blog posts and videos on the subject and quickly set about to lifehacking our car and our trip to suit our needs. So we did a live beta test in Yellowstone and slept in our vehicle. We loved it. Sleeping in our Rav4 was quiet and dry. We didn't have to worry about wildlife, and

New TweetDeck 2.0 for iPhone Review: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Image
After some delays , the new TweetDeck for iPhone app (known as iOSDeck) arrived in the App Store this morning. And not a moment too soon, as the old app was badly broken and TweetDeck effectively abandoned it months ago in favor of rebuilding it from the ground up. I've had some time to play with it today and here are my impressions: The Good: Combined columns: This is the greatest new thing ever in Twitter apps. While this was a feature already included in the Chrome version of TweetDeck (known as ChromeDeck ), its making its first appearance here in the iPhone app. Basically, instead of having a Twitter feed, a Facebook feed, a DM feed, etc., you can merge columns, so you can put your FB and Twitter feed into the same column; all your replies, Facebook mentions, etc., go into another column, and so on. You can combine multiple searches into one column. The flexibility to create your own columns substantially cuts down on the number of columns I have running. A gigantic thum
