•Gmail: Admit Defeat

I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out the type of psychological disorder being displayed by the folks at Gmail.   I’ve narrowed it down to either psychosis, denial or fantasy.  Here’s a picture illustrating what brought about this rant:

You see, way back when the Google folks got together and decided they wanted [...]

•Resolutions

I had to consider if that was the title I wanted to use. In doing so I looked up the definition just to be sure. Here is what it gave us:
res·o·lu·tion
1. The state or quality of being resolute; firm determination. 2. A resolving to do something. 3. A course of action determined or decided on.
-American [...]

•Piracy 3: Yarr, Back With a Vengeance

Okay, so, it’s another topic on piracy. Anyways, here we go… again:
Recently Valve decided to compare sales versus price. Here’s what they did:

10% off = 35% increase in sales (real dollars, not units shipped)
25% off = 245% increase in sales
50% off = 320% increase in sales
75% off = 1470% increase in [...]

•Somebody’s Getting Married!

It has been a -very- long time since I have reached out to you Meat-Monkies, and for that I am truly sorry. Though progressive and unorthodox, I am embracing the technology around me to bring you the news, and many of you may already know, that I am to be wed to the lovely ‘Julia [...]

•Will commercials ever be this awesome again?

I think not!

•In the future apocalypse…

…my fighting skills will become useful.
For starters Fallout 3 has begun to take up my evenings. Much like my beloved zombie apocalypse the nuclear apocalypse is another favorite of mine. Granted there are better and worse things about Fallout 3 than it’s predecessors I understand why can no longer do them. Really if you [...]

•On lying.

One could make a case to call me an individual with grey toned morality. I generally believe that lying has its place and time. Given that I’m not entirely sure why I feel so built up over the last few days.
The story goes something like this:
I’ve been waiting on the Navy. I started applying back [...]

•You traitorous bastard!

Generally I am a visual person so I’m going to write this post with a few visual aids. I will start with one that is pretty popular:
And because most of us are horrible NERDS I’ll add this one if you didn’t get the first one.
Are you getting the idea yet? Starting to see the pattern? [...]

•At the opera tonight!

Repo! The Genetic Opera! If you’re asking “what the fuck is that?” then, that’s exactly the response you’re supposed to have. Repo is a movie, a musical, a rock opera. It premiered last night (November 7th, 2008) and I went all the way to New York just to see it.

•Fight Klub

Every once in a while someone does something so out of the ordinary, that you have no choice but to sit down and marvel at it for 15 minutes.  That’s what I was doing last night.  You see, lately, everyone around me has been finding new and clever ways to spend their time gaming - [...]

•Evil A.I.

No, I’m not talking about the crappy Spielberg movie, though some would argue it was pretty evil as well.

•Back from the States

Hello MMW. I haven’t been on in a while as I’ve been traveling in the US. I haven’t had a chance to post very often, but should be on more now. It’s strange to think that ‘coming back home from a trip’ means arriving in Jordan from the States. It used [...]

•Orson Scott Card on the Liberal Media

Orson Scott Card has written another brilliant editorial, this time laying into our nation’s journalists for failure to accurately lay blame for the Freddie/Fannie financial crisis.  Card, a Democrat, has no problem admitting that his party signed into law the policies of granting loans to people who would not be able to repay them, and [...]

•Darkon 6

It is that time again.
First I would like to talk about the Renaissance Festival that I went to the day before. It really… how do I say this correctly? First I am suffering the withdrawal of my fiancé having left for Sacramento. So going to RenFest wasn’t as fun without her there. Second, it [...]

•I’m in yur brain, controlling yur gamez!

Sorry, it’s not lolcats, but actually brainwaves. Wait a second, brainwaves? Yes, brainwaves. [...]
