From here: Ultimately, Edison arrived at the same conclusion I did. “To me, that implies that the biggest myth might indeed be that there is a media myth at all – that non-gamers rarely think about games until they have to, and then tend to dismiss the industry wholesale. That part seems to come pretty easily.” More [ READ MORE ]

My wife and I have a recurring fight that we cannot seem to meet in the middle on. And it all has to do with how I like to spend my downtime. I like to play online video games. To me, video games are no different than watching TV. If I had [ READ MORE ]

I tell you what, keeping this environment up and fully operational is sometimes a bit taxing. I am always short on something, whether it be resources, time, money, or people, keeping everything up and operational is a bit of stretch.

So says the ultrasound tech… and sometimes they are like weathermen. You know… Idiots. And completely wrong. Guess we will find out for sure on Birthday. Now if only my wife and I could agree on a damn name. So far, we have agreed to disagree on every single name. She [ READ MORE ]

Un Lun Dun by China Mieville I finished Un Lun Dun over the weekend, and as the third book I have read by China Mieville, I found it just a tad weaker than some of his other works. I think what threw me off was the tone and style. The style was more simple [ READ MORE ]
