“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Washington DC – Part 2
Well, Day One is nearly in the bag. I got to the office early today and set up my gear, waited for people to arrive to photograph and then got down to business. I've done about half of what I needed to do while I'm here. I'm also getting the distinct impression that...
Washington DC – Part 1
As I'm typing this, I'm cruising at 10,000 ft, on my way to Chicago Midway, on route to Washington DC. Why on earth I need to go up to Chicago instead of some more southerly destination is beyond me, but here I am. I'm taking the first of what I hope will be many...
Darknet
So, I've been recently considering building a darknet machine with spare parts I have sitting around. I've come to realize that the plethora of media I have is so large, and normal P2P channels so inherently dangerous, that a subversive way to share it all with...

Caffeine Receptacles
So, yeah, my wife is awesome. Two great new coffee mugs in under a week. One artsy, one geeky. Both displayed proudly on my desk at work. No one gets them and I don't give a shit, lol. They rock.
Red Dead Redemption
Reviewing a game like Red Dead Redemption is no easy task. Reviewing a open sandbox game is a bit like reviewing a road trip. You start the car, pull out of the driveway and everything that happens between home and your destination is an experience. Compounded in the...
Dear Netflix
Dear Netflix, Normally I would be writing to tell you that I love your service. The fact that I can get a DVD in two days, right into my mailbox, has revolutionized the way I watch movies. Speedy service, a good selection and a reasonable and multi-leveled pricing...
