Note: Comments are turned on for this particular entry. If you have any insights at all, please let me know. While I haven’t been running everyday, I’ve made it a goal to work out everyday. Running in the cold isn’t my thing, I’ve decided. While I like running, by the time I get to the [...]
I accidentally beat this game. It wasn’t hard by any stretch of the imagination. Did I beat every single race? Yes. Did I unlock everything? No. Will I? Probably. Nora likes trucks. Nora likes racing trucks. Ergo, Nora likes this game. As it turns out, having played this with Nora, I was already halfway through [...]
There were many times I wanted to just give up on this game, but didn’t. Jak & Daxter (hereafter Jak 1) was the perfect platformer; Jak 3 was an excellent game – not my favorite, but definitely had many memorable moments… Jak 2 really had no relation to Jak 1 other than the titular characters, [...]
I had to test the Christmas present a little early because of an unforeseen event. I’m just thrilled for Christmas this year. We have two lenses – both are AF-Ds; good lenses, but aren’t compatible with the camera – they need to be manually focused (but not metered? I don’t get it). AF-Ds were in [...]
I finished An Unlikely Disciple by Kevin Roose. Mr. Roose, a Brown student, decided to spend time at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University for a semester. Mr. Roose was an understudy of A.J. Jacobs, writer of Year of Living Biblically; it was on a field trip with Jacobs that Mr. Roose had the idea to enroll. [...]
After much handwringing I got around to trying Arch Linux. Color me impressed. Arch is easily one of the most ‘geeky’ distros currently available. The installer is straightforward, the system you get once you install is barebones – all told, it took me two hours to install (in fairness, I did a net installation, so [...]
I got around to testing two of the four 8″ subs. They sounded decent enough that I threw them into the basement audio setup. That’s six speakers right there. The space above the tv is enclosed, so it made sense to throw the two subs up there. When I want extra “loud” or extra “bass”, [...]
Eagles: They’re an up and down team. If they don’t blow the opponent out, they’re going to lose. Statistically, if the score is within seven, they’re likely to lose. Worse still: Ellis Hobbs is out for the season. Joselio Hanson is out for a month (substance abuse is the likely culprit). Hobbs’ injury is scary, [...]
This will probably be the last video for a long time, if not ever. The car is set to its max settings, and I recently added deans ultra plugs, which have the lowest possible resistance of any connector available. Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.

This entry is not nearly as serious as my wife’s latest blog entry, which is linked to the left. She joined the darkside, and used one of the pictures that I took as the header. I’m so excited. And you can click on the comment link right from the reader! It’s brilliant. – Stranger in [...]
