So I’m a few days late, but I’ve been pretty busy enjoying my swank new toys I got for my 32nd birthday this past Wednesday the 21st. I’ll list them out in the order that I opened them to avoid showing any favoritism. First up was the one I opened up the night before my [...]

The developers who’ve brought us Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, and Ghost Recon (to name a few), offer up Assassin’s Creed as their latest title for the 360 and PS3. Based on that reputation, and the reviews I’ve been seeing, I picked it up sight-unseen. This is a lot to live up to, and boy am [...]

Saw this movie this past Saturday and am just now getting around to writing about it. It’s an interesting vampire movie to say the least. The movie is set in a small town in Alaska called Barrow. Apparently, once a year the angle of the Earth causes Barrow to be completely without sunlight for a [...]

From features like the popular Windows Media Connect to the platform’s extensive backup capabilities, this is truly a product that can take multimedia and personal computing functionality to new heights.

Jamie picked this book up for me at Sam’s Club over this past weekend since I’m looking so forward to the movie coming out. I read it in three days and got through it that fast for two reasons: 1. It’s incredibly riveting. 2. At 160 pages, it’s pretty short.

In ignorance, we’ll view our company leaders as bloated figureheads with sometimes little patience for us peons. In reality, these people are thinking and working on levels we sometimes truly don’t [...]

I miss you so much. This is the 6th year that I haven’t been able to say it to you and celebrate with you. I feel so lost without you sometimes. Thank you for everything… Your love, your guidance, and for being my mom. I’ll never stop loving you.

Performed Windows maintenance on the production servers at work. That went long. Doesn’t it always? I scheduled 2 hours and ended up going 3. That sucks, but you know… Shit happens. You do your best and that’s all you can do. The hold-up was a combination of things.

So I discovered a couple of weeks ago while checking out the phpBB forum of the company I work for, that my own phpBB forum was hacked by some bot exploit. Thanks assholes! I hadn’t gotten around to addressing the problem since it’s not used by anyone anyway. Well I got motivated and fixed it. [...]
