EA Chicago, the place where I work, was closed down last week.  Ever since, I have been looking for a job.  Fortunately, there have been two job fairs at our former building that I have just finished with.  There are a lot of opportunities out there and a lot of people interested in us.  I think the decision by EA was a poor one as it was just bad ( Read more... )

Looking through my game list, I am thinking that there are a lot of games on there that I wouldn't mind renting.  One of the problems I had with Gamefly before was the turnaround time.  However, that should be greatly reduced now that they have a new center in the midwest.  The second issue is cost.  I don't have the free time to play games that I ( Read more... )

Since I bought the Orange Box for PC (mouse + keyboard FTW!), I now can gift my extra copies of Half Life 2 and Episode 1 over Steam.  So, any takers?

Finally went through the Pandora list I have had sitting around awhile.  This thing is getting pretty huge, which means that I either need to start buying a lot of music (not likely) or find time to listen to what I have and am trying to discover more.  Probably means that I need to pony up for an iPod or something similar at some point.  I really ( Read more... )

Just what you needed, another list.  Anyway, there are a decent amount of DVDs that I would like to pick up at some point (or suggest as gifts), and I need to keep them organized somewhere.  So this will probably be updated about as often as my book list and will only contain a few titles (since I have so much trouble remembering them ( Read more... )

I have recently joined Facebook.  It happened while talking with some old friends from high school that we had over for dinner.  It was interesting looking through the list of people I went to school with and seeing how many I could remember (and conversely, how many I was glad I had forgotten about).  Anyway, I would recommend it as I have been ( Read more... )
