In the hopes that adding enhanced functionality will add interest and motivation to my blogging experience, I just added Snap.com’s Snap Shots functionality to my site so that you can see where a link is headed before you travel there. This is often very useful when a link leads to an unfamiliar site, article, or […]

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted here about anything too crucial, but last week (the one before Thanksgiving) my desktop replacement computer suffered a miserable crash that completely disabled it.
The Gateway M675 Laptop/Desktop Replacement computer that I’ve had since 2004 finally decided to kick the bucket and it threatened disable my career for an […]

Seemingly, long gone are the days where a simple “bookmark” in your browser menu is good enough for the frequent `net-user.

Wow. So tonight I was getting ready to go to bed, still messing around with a few extra searches on Blingo to see if I could win anything today, and I randomly stumbled across something new about Last.FM.

I had the opportunity this past weekend to join a few friends and family members and see Gunther von Hagens‘ Body Worlds exhibit at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. If you don’t know already, von Hagens is responsible for creating a plastination technique that allows bodies to be preserved, dissected, and essentially turned into […]

I don’t think I’m going to preface this with much commentary. Just know that I’m a HUGE fan of the Legend of Zelda series of games for the Nintendo consoles. But there was a time when Philips CD-i came out and created two or three really terrible games using the characters, finding a probable loophole […]

In multiple news releases yesterday, stemming from interviews and keynote speeches at the 2006 Game Developer’s Conference, it was revealed that the Nintendo Revolution will be receiving a “best of” collection from Sega Genesis and Turbografx (former rivals!) for its Virtual Console service, which has also been revealed to be much like Apple iTunes’ Music […]

I was doing some random research for an update on Nintendo Revolution news, and I stumbled across a weird bit of science. Apparently, there’s a trend in the gene-naming world that involves naming genes after familiar things, and in this case, videogames. Read on:
