Today, Meg turned 35. When I woke up this morning, well after her I’m sure, she was sitting in front of the TV, in her chair, playing Skyrim on Xbox, with her headphones on, so she wouldnt wake me up. I woke up eventually, and picked on her a little. My usual attempt to get ... Read More »

Birthdays
Meg’s birthday is today. So I decided she needed a good present. We went to lowes and got the chandelier she’s wanted in the dining room for almost 2 years. It’s now wired and hung. And as one would expect, she loves it. Read More »
Tron?
Today, I procured two blue LED tubes for Megs car, as well as wire and rocker switches. 90 minutes of work later, I had everything soldered and installed in her car. The cabin footwells now glow blue to match her stereo. Read More »

Software Updates
There’s nothing more frustrating than sitting down and making time to run updates for one’s site, only to find out that wordpress is melting down because it says that this latest version of wordpress requires a newer version of MySQL. So you log into your web host’s portal. You check one server, which should be ... Read More »
On the cost of goods and services
Alexis Madrigal of The Atlantic is quoted by CNN as saying: “Look at the price of a car. Or college. Or a gallon of gasoline. Or lunch at Applebee’s. Or a movie ticket. People don’t calculate hourly entertainment value very well.” Okay, first off, I consume a lot of news media. A massive amount really. ... Read More »
And this is why I like understanding electronics
So that spiffy set of Logitech portable speakers I own. Yes, the ones with the battery pack. They no longer hold a charge. I unplug them, they shut right off. Annoying to say the least. So, I did some digging. The internet did its job and supplied lots of complainers. Interestingly, they were telling me ... Read More »

Hacking Borderlands
As some of you may or may not know, I picked up Borderlands on a fluke, when it first came out. Like everyone else, I was shocked at how good it was, and then spent hours sucked into the original game as well as the expansion packs. Recently, Borderlands shipped for the Mac. Of course, ...

In The Loop.
Ah yes. There was a time when I could be called a prolific user of online media distribution services. Now, I find that I read what others post, more than I post myself. Go figure. Besides, life is full of all kinds of adventure. I find that I work, sleep, and conquer the daily life, ... Read More »
Life, The Universe, And Everything (42)
Life moves pretty quick. If you dont pay attention, you’ll forget to blog about it. Lots has happened in the last month. Meg and I have gotten the house mostly squared away. We have laundry services, we have the nerd cave set up. The grill is on the back porch, and tiki torches are installed. ... Read More »
I’m a little behind
Okay, so I realize I should have written something ages ago. Yeah, I kinda didnt post at all during October. Whoops. Well, October was a busy month. Here’s why. To recap, I bought a house. Or rather I bought a house with M. Or even possibly, she bought a house with me. Point is, we’re ... Read More »
Borderlands Failure.
I’m a little annoyed right now. Let me just put it that way. I got up this morning, and I downloaded the latest expansion pack for Borderlands. I’m excited. New environments, new guns, new humor, more experience so I can level u…and then I got sacked. No, the level cap increase is not included with ... Read More »
So much to say, so little time to say it.
I have a million things I should probably write about. However things are crazy as always, so I dont always get the chance to organize them into a post. Shit, I still need to finish my post about Pookie coming to visit, what almost 6 months ago? Jebus. At the same time, things are crazy ... Read More »
Wow that’s a huge iMac…
Yesterday, my new computer finally arrived, after a week of waiting (and a bit of buyer’s remorse.) Today, I’ve spent most of the morning/afternoon setting it up… but wait, it’s tuesday, tuesdays are usually reserved for Meep/Mr. Geeklife days of fun. Notso today. I’ve been allowed to pretty much coop myself up in my room ... Read More »
moving perpetually forward
When I was still in elementary school, I got an AM/FM radio for christmas. It was from Radio Shack. I listened to the DC rock radio stations with it. And it was amazing. When I entered middle school, I upgraded to a portable radio with headphones. That was pretty awesome. I then got my first ... Read More »
Technolust
Yesterday a certain company that makes fruit related technology began pre-orders for a certain 4th generation phone. Its a pretty spiffy phone too. So I, like several million others, decided to buy in advance. And of course, it was a giant cluster fuck. There were lags, errors, servers melting down, and all kinds of bad ... Read More »
WasI ever this excited?
Lets just come out and say it. In the world of digital entertainment, I’m a gamer. I enjoy video games. I always have. Way back in the day when we had shit like Intellivision, and Nintendo’s Game & Watch, I was playing games based on digital content. Over the course of my life, I’ve had: ... Read More »
