As you may, or may not, have heard there is a little console being released for the home market soon, and it is the third installment/reincarnation of its kind.  I am speaking, of course, of the Playstation 3.  The oft heralded future of home entertainment with its top of the line blu-ray disc system, over the top hardware, all for the low price of ( Read more... )

This is going to be another season like last year.

I realize that football is a "seasonal" sport.  There are mountain top experiences, and there are dark valleys.  This knowledge does not make the issue any easier to bear.  In some ways it makes it even more difficult to wait for the mountain top again.

After watching the team win one a decade ( Read more... )

 I have been of the belief for a while now that the video game industry has been starting to serve the lowest common denominator.  While this is statement is not true for all games everywhere, it does sufficiently explain the mass appeal of the "first person shooter" games.  This has been brought to its peak by the Halo series, and emulated by ( Read more... )

I promised myself when I went back to school that I would try everything that was made available to try.  Yesterday one of these "things" was realized when I was elected as one of the two student senators from my department at school.

I have been a long-standing fan of the Dragon Ball series.  I believe I almost wept at the end of the GT series, but then I found this.

I should have listened.

It's always a letdown when the curtain gets torn back and you ( Read more... )

Kim and I rented movies this last weekend.  This, of course, is nothing unusual for a boring weekend, which abound in this small town, however this batch of movies was special.

One of the three movies we picked up was "V for Vendetta."  I want to say up front that I have never read the graphic novel that inspired the movie.  This one jumped off of ( Read more... )

In a past life, I used to volunteer a great deal of time at a local church ( Read more... )

I love my new job!

I have no idea what kept me at the decrepid insane asylum for so long.  Instead of working for a micromanging control freak whose idea of leadership consists of forcing everything that he comes in contact with to bend to his twisted will, I have been given the glorious opportunity to work for a boss whose leadership style consists ( Read more... )
