Windows: Struggling to Keep Up Since 2001
A streaming video has hit of the functionality of Office 2007. For those who don't feel like watching the video, let me summarize: there are pictures ( Read more... ) -
Tale of two passengers
I just watched Strangers on a Train, one of the Hitchcock masterpieces. I know it's a cliche, but damn. They just don't write dialogue like that anymore. If scoring would make a bit of difference, I would give it a well-deserved *****. -
Movies, both somewhat good and somewhat bad
So I (re)saw V for Vendetta this weekend. The good points and bad points of it were more striking this time around. Anyway, some associates of mine have been very insistant on the idea that it raises a lot of interesting questions. With that in mind, I have a few questions of my own. Cinecast brought a lot of them up in words that I couldn't quite ( Read more... ) -
The quiet kid always wins
Okay. So, GDC. Never a place for absolutely huge announcements, right? Sony and Microsoft made some announcements here and there. They raised some eyebrows. On the whole, I was pretty content to watch the "mini" announcements go by and wait for the big ones at E3 ( Read more... ) -
Considering Gmail...
Alright, so I have this Yahoo account. All my stuff goes through there, and it was only when I graduated college that I got it. I even paid the $20 for a "Yahoo Plus!" account. So I put up with the spam mail, and so on, figuring I just didn't want to put up with switching. Changing my contact info, letting all my friends know, it's just a big ( Read more... ) -
Amusing bits
A few links before I go to bed...
If you are a fan of 24, and random humor, this will make your sides hurt. The only reason I'm even still awake is that I'm waiting for the pain in my sides and head to go away.
We also have new Revolution pictures, just as rumors start to circulate that it's bound for a name change. Why, Nintendo ( Read more... ) -
Overdue reviews
I've had these albums a while and let them sink in, so I figure it's time to finally chime in with some thoughts about each of them. And since I'm doing so many, I won't be quite so verbose as usual.

"B" for "Better than Matrix Reloaded"
Apparently out of my 19 friends, two of them are making new posts on a regular basis. Good job, Black and Red!

All is going according to plan
So the plan to get a PSP is going along pretty smoothly, though I have to admit the constant chatter about MMPU is making me a bit impatient. Oh well. I make a logo, I get a game system. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
A couple of interesting links here...
Digg linked me over to the worst decisions made by anyone in gaming, and I'd say they' ( Read more... ) -
[wifiluv]
So we finally got some info on the Playstation 3. Same old same old as far as I'm concerned, and they refused to answer the biggest question of all, the price. Rumors from one (uncomfirmed) site says the yen amount equals around $500, which sounds about right ( Read more... )
