I don't like how I oftentimes start out with exuberance and excitement about a project or idea and that excitement fizzles out before I make meaningful progress on it.

Yes, that's right! I am taking part in the closed beta! You read it right, The Beta! The beta for what you may ask? Well, only the most anticipated and sought-after game to ever have rumblings of being released, nay, UNLEASHED onto all the PC gamer suckers out there!

Half-Life 2: Episode III? No, bigger. Starcraft II?? Mere child's play. The game ( Read more... )

I wonder in what state it's legal for me to buy a piece of land in the middle of nowhere and incorporate the land as a city. Just wonderin'...

It's interesting getting used to the new groove in which I have found myself. I like my new job, and I keep running into interesting things there ( Read more... )

Today was my sister's garage sale with proceeds going to her efforts to pay for the Susan G. Komen 3-day event in which she wants to participate. We held it at my mom's house in north Glendale. Nothing quite like waking up at the hairline crack of dawn after roving the neighborhood at midnight, placing signs everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised ( Read more... )
