Dallas Cowboys New Stadium Interactive Website
Since 1971 the Dallas Cowboys have played in the venerable Texas Stadium in Irving, a suburb of Dallas. Although many Cowboys fans have become attached to the dome with a hole in the top, the stadium is clearly outdated. Construction has already begun on the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington and Jerry Jones, the Cowboys G.M. and owner has created an interactive web site to give fans a tour of the new stadium through 3d models and present possible sponsors with advertising options.
Writers On Strike
The writers strike over the last month or so has really put a damper on this seasons big shows. Lost, The Office, and other shows have had to put their current and upcoming seasons on hiatus until the strike can be resolved. I have heard rumors that this thing could last as long as a year and I wanted to get some more info on the stance of the writers and why they were striking. I visited the United Hollywood blog to get some answers to these questions. Conveniently the site has an FAQ page that proved to be extremely convenient.

Blogging for Iowa
Recently Mitt Romney addressed the media in college station. The topic of his speech was religion, primarily the fact that he is a Mormon. The media has likened Mitt's run for president as the first Mormon candidate in American history to that of the late JFK who was our fist Catholic president. But members of the republican party are concerned that the voters in Iowa are bias against a candidate for the church of latter day saints.Mr. Romney made the speech in an effort to stifle any fears of such reaction. Conservative bloggers responded well to the blog but I don't think he will wind up as the republican presidential candidate for 2008.
