“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Bad Company Revolution
I had a chance to check out the demos for both Civ:Revolutions and Battlefield:Bad Company this week. Neither of which really blew my skirt up. I'll start with Civ since it's franchise is near and dear to my heart. Not to say that Battlefield isn't, but the most...
Couldn’t have said it better
I rarely cut and paste. I find it demeaning to the medium of blogs as a whole. In this case however, it couldn't be helped. I had tried, repeatedly, to sum up my compassion for computer gaming for some time, in hopes that I could convey how much I love the platform...
So, what can I do with this hunk of metal?
Alright you Mac fiends, this is the moment you've been waiting for. I need your help. I've got a crazy fast Mac Pro with 8G of memory as my work station and besides Thunderbird and the Adobe Creative Suite, it's got NOTHING on it. I need suggestions for the best Mac...
New Job
It's been a week since I started and I'm now settling in at my new job. The first week was a little on the crazy side, but pretty positive. I had a weeks worth of training videos, procedure manuals, documents to sign, all that good stuff. I had to get keys, key cards,...
Brake Job
I've had a wide variety of cars in my life. I've driven my parents cars, an old junky pickup truck, an old Oldsmobile with no AC, a nice little Mazda that was in a huge wreck. All of those cars were either free or under $500. My current car is the first "new car" that...
Upside
The upside of being at work crazy early: Being able to browse the new plugin section of Wordpress.org, finding interesting plugins and installing them for no reason. Like this one, which is now rocking my NextGen Gallery. Click for the rounded corner goodness....
Goes without Saying
I think it goes without saying that no one, under any circumstance, should be at work at 6am. Unless of course you have a job that involves being some where at 6am on a regular basis. Early AM tollbooth attendant or donut maker for example. In which case you're more...
Forthcoming Drought
If I hear one more website put forward the notion that the new GTA is not only better than sliced bread but in fact redefines the loaf, someone is going to have a substantial loss of blood. I think I'm the only one that realizes that we're heading into the summer...
The Big Bang
Now that all the papers have been signed, all the T's crossed and the I's dotted, and all the announcements and notices given, it's probably safe to tell you guys. As of May 12th, I'll be employed at a large (if not the largest) NASA contractor as an art...
A Long Two Weeks
If I'm delayed in posting, often it's only for the best of reasons. Over the past two weeks, my father in law has been hospitalized with severe intestinal problems, surgery and compications arising from both. He had surgery two weeks ago and just got out of the ICU a...
