So you fancy yourself the next Tommy Dorsey but don't actually own a trombone? There's a solution, and Spoonjack has it with its new iBone application. All you need is an Apple iPhone or iPod.

We haven't tested the app, but based on YouTube samples we'd have to say it's pretty basic. No glissandos here. Nevert… Continue

Mark Farinella If NA Registry office closes, how about Patriot Place?

If I'm Robert Kraft and I read the following article by staff writer Amy DeMelia, I'd be on the phone to the registrar of the Mass. Registry of Motor Vehicles, Rachel Kaprielian, in an instant to inquire about relocating the North Attleboro office to one of many vacant storefronts in Patriot Place. Here are the first few paragraphs of Amy's article: NORTH ATTLEBORO - The North Attleboro branch of the Registry of Motor Vehicles is among those slated to close, according to state Rep.

Dale Ransom Hooray for the Riptide

I recently experienced one of those moments that transcends being a modern parent. To make up for all the running around, switching of schedules and sitting through two hours of a youth softball game in misty, 40-degree weather, my daughter Lauren’s team won the… Continue

Mark Farinella Training camp reminder.

The Patriots have issued their first official "reminder" about training camp, including a general schedule. Public workouts begin July 30, although some players will be arriving as early as July 21, I'm told, although they will not be available to media access or public view. As camp nears, we'll pass along whatever changes there are in access and egress from the Gillette Stadium practice complex. The completion of construction at Patriot Place may result in one or two minor tweaks to parking a… Continue

Mark Farinella If you happen to be in Watertown ...

You've probably noticed a few restaurant reviews and other dining tips on this blog over the last year or so; hey, what else would you expect from a fellow who enjoys fine cuisine (or greasy spoons) as much as I? Well, I wanted to pass along one more quasi-local tip before I resume my series about Cuisine on the Road, which still has 13 stops around the NFL remaining. This isn't Patriots-related, but it would be worth your while to take a drive of 30-40 minutes to check out this new restaurant… Continue

Mike Gelbwasser Justice League: Cry for Justice -- The JLA is BACK

The best part of Justice League: Cry for Justice #1 is everything makes sense. From the opening sequence to the cliffhanger, writer James Robinson repeatedly answers one simple question. Where's the Justice in the Justice League? The story unfolds in such a way that each member ultimately seeks the same thing -- justice for losing a loved one. That's a far cry from most team books, which form around a coincidental common enemy. Robinson is making this JL personal. And he does a great job o… Continue

Tom Reilly Now that's funny

Al Franken, after nearly seven months, has been declared the winner of the U.S. Senate race in Minnesosta. Somehow, I had expected to get the news this way. But is it right to have a professional comedian in the Senate? It would seem to give him an unfair advantage over… Continue
