Identifying the Canadian threat: It’s coming right down the middle
Our IT guys have been hard at work trying to restore order to StarkSilverCreek. My apologies, again, and thanks for your patience during this most unfortunate period of relentless, antagonistic Don Cherry style Canadian content. I remind you, this is not the CBC.

Why the Ottawa Senators are the ultimate sports franchise
It's time for a reality check on this starkinsider.com. Yes, yes, I know. San Jose gets over 300 days of sunshine a year. Funny that, eh. Every time I go it's raining. Or foggy. Or if I'm stuck in San Francisco, both.

Sunday espresso: The 3 most important things in life
It's that time of year. We reflect. Enjoy the company of family and friends. And potentially reflect more, with an eggnog hangover.
Soon I'll enjoy a white Christmas as we head North for our annual Canadian trek. It's a tradition I never tire of.
As I think about that trip, I...
Theater review: Cirque du Soleil ‘OVO’ – Oh wow!
There's a reason why Cirque du Soleil remains a worldwide phenomena. The latest evidence is the vibrant show OVO now playing at Le Grand Chapiteau at AT&T Park in San Francisco (and coming to San Jose February 4, 2010).

Theater review: A bee-hive rockin’ Christmas in Berkeley
Bee-hive yourself for the holidays. Fictious girl-group The Coverlettes dust-off their bee-hives for one more go around of 60s tunes and favorite Christmas medleys at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley.
It's a brisk 70 minutes of light-hearted, lounge-like entertainment with a potpourri of numbers including "He's A Rebel," "You Keep...
