It was 10 years ago today that Sega launched the Dreamcast here in the U.S. It beat the PS2 and XBOX to market in the 6th generation console wars, but ended up being the loser in the race (Sega discontinued the Dreamcast in March 2001). I was also a little sketchy of it at first, [ READ MORE ]
I’m busy working on a new blog post. It’ll probably be a little out of date by the time I publish it, but it’s a worthwhile post nonetheless. The only problem is I want to get my facts straight, so I have to do research. I realize this isn’t how a *real* blogger does things, [ READ MORE ]
Check it out, guys! This email came into my inbox today. I can’t believe this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just fell into my lap. Screw you hippies, I’m moving to the Caribbean! From: Jerome Mandila Department of Finance & Economic Affairs Cape Town South Africa Request for Confidential Business Relationship First, I must solicit your confidence in [ READ MORE ]
No. I’m not talking about the venerable 80′s movie with the famous “slow clap” at the end, I’m talking about my sister Allison’s cat, Lucas (aka Luke). Allison and her husband are spending 6 months in Peru this year, so we’re watching him while they’re gone. And since he mostly hangs out downstairs all day [ READ MORE ]
I usually don’t participate in many meme’s. Most of them I’ve seen are pretty lame and half-assed. I despise the one’s that have questions like “Have you kissed #53 on your firnds list”. I don’t want to know, and I don’t care. However, I am going to make an exception tonight. Well, partial exception. This [ READ MORE ]
I’ll be honest with you. I don’t watch that much TV. Definitely not as much as I used to. And when I do watch “TV”, it’s being streamed to me over Hulu or a network’s website. In this day and age, who has the ability to schedule things around a TV show, anyways? So last [ READ MORE ]
Tonight the folks and I hit up Chuck-A-Rama for dinner. For those of you not familiar with this fabulous establishment, it is a buffet. But it is a buffet designed for the large-assed American. It is also, apparently, THE place to go for dinner after an LDS baptism. There were at least two separate parties [ READ MORE ]
So I got a little bored today and a new URL popped in my head. I really wanted “waitwhat.com”, but that was all taken – even the .net and .org. So screw that. So I’ve gone with the second best option, waitwhut.com. The usage of ‘whut’ instead of ‘what’ is actually better, IMO, for the [ READ MORE ]
It’s been ages since I’ve been around here. Not much is going on right now, so thats probably why. About the only big news is my upcoming trip to Vegas in November. It’s going to be, well, a trip to Vegas. Our promise (our being the friends I am going with) is to make it [ READ MORE ]
Okay. Twitter has been up and down all day and it’s getting quite annoying. For those of you not familiar with the service, you esentially tell it what you’re doing, thinking, etc. at the moment. You can access it via SMS, the web, or a number or third part application, such as Twitterific and Twhirl. [ READ MORE ]
