Yesterday I decided to go through and make sure my RSS feeds in my reader were up to date. I ended up dropping a couple where they haven’t posted anything in a while (a year), and decided that while I was doing it I’d try to see if feeds were available for some websites that [...]
If you are anything like me and grew up in the 80’s, you probably went to Chuck E. Cheese or Showbiz Pizza for someone’s birthday or some other special occasion, or maybe you just went for the fun on it. Both places had, in their dining hall, animatronic bands that would play songs while you [...]
Not too long ago, on the Conquer Club website, they implemented a new system for player ratings. Previously it had been based on an eBay style positive/neutral/negative scale with a comment. You simply voted weather your experience playing them was positive, negative, or neither and then said something like “played all his turns in a [...]
Admit it… I mean, I know I do… most blogs are there for people to hear themselves talk. But a co-worker of mine had a medical emergency a couple of weeks ago. He complained of a headache before bed, and later his wife couldn’t wake him up. After getting rushed to the hospital, the doctors [...]

Have you ever been watching a TV show and heard a song that you wanted to know what it was or who sang it? Even worse, it wasn’t on the CW so they didn’t tell you at the end and you had to go digging around the Internet hoping that someone else who watched [...]
No, this isn’t news about some lame 5th Indiana Jones movie, nor is it an announcement of an upcoming video game. What follows is simply how I would have done the 4th Indiana Jones movie instead of what got made: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Some elements will be very similar [...]
So I have decided to make an effort to get into better shape. I contemplated making a new category for the blog, but realized that making a category would make it feel like an obligation to write, at which point I would feel less like writing on the topic. I’ll just try to write about [...]
One of the central preoccupations of my life is ensuring that I am prepared should the dead rise from the grave.
