"Merry Day After Christmas!"

Like the title says. So stinking busy with all the material last minute shopping, bouncing around to various family member houses, tearing open presents, rincing and repeating. As soon as I get a break I'm knee deep into estimating my taxes in order to see if there are any addtional tax writeoffs I should get before the year ends. I'd once like to actually I don't know, ENJOY my holiday. I try to

School cannon blows up student's leg and the town threatens him to shut up.

Read the article linked below, the towns people there utterly disgust me:http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/296584_cannon20.html?source=mypiYou know when the Roman Empire fell one of the things that was happening was that the people were more involved with sports and other things than dealing with the reality of whats going on around them or even the well being of it's own people. The signs are

An Explination of Net Neutrality

2006-12-17T10:53:00.000-08:00

The above is a very important video. It's kinda boring to watch but very easy to understand. Watch it and if there is ever a vote involving Net Neutrality, vote FOR Net Neutrality. Voting against it is censorship of the 21st century.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - another LOST PS3 exclusive, coming to Xbox 360!

2006-12-16T14:41:00.001-08:00

"Straight from a dev source on the game, MGS4: Guns of the Patriots will be hitting 360 a few months after the PS3 version, simply because Konami doesn't believe there'll be enough consoles out there. Blu Ray diode failure appears to be the issue that publishers believe hinders market penetration."No idea if this is true or not because the source page dosen't seem like a proven reliable source

Realistic Expectations

2006-12-13T22:59:00.000-08:00

When you collaborate in a common goal or voluntarily help other people, when is it appropriate to say "Enough is enough"? In other words, when is it appropriate or is it even appropriate to claim your own stopping point? Is there a correct balance between using your time and energy for yourself versus using it for the benefit of others? If there is a balance, what is the measure used to determine

Why I'm not getting a PS3. Reason # 5,163

I don't even want to get into the other 5,162 reasons for not owning a PS3. You know, for the amount of money you have to pay for one of these things, it should do ALOT better than this:

California Christmas Decorations

2006-12-12T23:33:00.000-08:00

Most people around the world decorate houses or trees for Christmas, Californians decorate boats. Yes, boats. Electrical lighted devices strung all over vehicles that travel ON BODIES OF WATER! Last I checked electricity and water don't mix. Maybe it's perfectly safe but it just seems odd to me.I took this photo from the top deck of my office party last Friday. Yes the one where I wore the devil

It wasn't completely my fault since I was out late with Danielle trying to find a suit to wear to my company's Holiday Party this Friday. Yes I said "find a suit". By various acts of thuggery I'm having to wear the most evil of all clothing. I've always been convinced that if Satan actually exists, he wears suits (

Abandoned sites suck. I really don't need to explain why they just do. Unfortunately I have this bad habit of starting websites as personal projects and then abandoning them. I don't really know why except it might be a combination of a bit of boredom mixed with a break in my routine.Anyway, I want to break this habit of abandonment so I'm making an early new years resolution to keep up with this

Though I only paid $100 for the Steel Battalion controller and game which is HALF what it retailed for, it's still a heafty price for a controller that only works with 2 games total. Probably thinking the same thing, somebody figured out how to make this beast work with PC games using a USB to Xbox port adapter. I wondered if it were possible to use it with a PC since that would be ideal with the

When Clark Kent is on the screen it's kinda boring. When Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacy) is on the screen, it's great for all but maybe one scene (and sometimes the scenes are just a tad long).I was going to go
