Halo 3: ODST

Halo 3: ODST is a solid addition to the Halo universe, but, at least in my opinion, fails to advance the franchise or add anything substantial that couldn't have been added via downloadable content. It's not to say that ODST isn't without it's merits, of which there...

Where did September go?

Seriously? We've completely lost a month. I have no idea what happened. Things have been universally crazy around the ranch for quite some time now. We're helping Lauren's family as much as we can, we're helping my family as much as we can, and as a result we're...

Product Review – Keurig B60 Special Edition

For quite a while now I've been a fan of the concept of "single serve" coffee. I've had and used a whole variety of coffee makers. Everything from a Tassimo to my favorite Melita One-to-One to the high end Lavazza systems. Normally, I have two coffee makers as well....

Getting the Band Back Together

Last night for the first time in probably two years I sat down and reunited with my old comrades for some good old fashion, ass kicking computer gaming. The members of the world famous Texas Combat Crew got together and had what I would consider to be a pretty awesome...

Wow, this week has flown by. It's been two days since I updated and most of it was a blur. I actually intended to write about my experience yesterday but I was so tired I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Thursday was the first day of intense breakout sessions....
