Okay, this is the last time I'm changing jobs till I've got my own show. I've got half a show with this gig, ad I'm geeked in a way that I've not been geeked in a LONG time. What's different about this line of work is that I'm going to have command, control, and an environment to test my theories. It's my show in a way that nothing's been my ( Read more... )

It's been a while since the famous "real' entry. Part of that was because of "Dungeon Siege II" a long role playing game that involves you beating up a never ending series of monsters to gain experience points. The game itself isn't good--by any stretch. There are the usual cut scenes, and you deal damage to an ever more powerful series of ( Read more... )

I remain positively convinced of this. It is vital to understand what you do, and the life that you have. I'm again in a position--at 30--where the world is unfolding before me.

I think of decisions I could have made a long time ago, like moving to Phoenix to check out a girl that I think liked me. I came closer to doing that than anyone ( Read more... )
