Well, it took a while (because Amazon screwed up), but I finally got my Kindle Fire. When it was first announced, I was very excited and ordered it promptly. I continued to be excited about it up until Amazon screwed up my shipment repeatedly. Even through all my trials and tribulations, I was happy to [...]

RadioShack wants to get back to their DIY roots?
A week or so ago, RadioShack (yes, The Shack) posted a blog entry entitled “RadioShack & The DIY Community: You Talked, We’re Listening“. The post is mostly a video from their brand manager which says they want to get back to their Do-It-Yourself roots. More importantly, they want their readers/customers to respond with what type [...]
Vitriol posts are an interesting thing.
Let me share a bit of history for those that don’t know me. When I was young, that is to say very, very young (IE up to about 2nd grade), I was a very angry child. I was what they call a “Roman candle”, the littlest spark would set me off into a huge storm [...]
BRB versus AFK
I often find myself thinking about the most random things. Sometimes, afterward, I worry about how much time I’ve actually spent thinking about these mostly random topics. Though who cares, right? Today, you get to join me in my random wanderings around the mind of me, because I feel like sharing and by some deity [...]
Why bother buying local?
This is a serious question I’m grappling with today. I went to the local camera store and saw a lens for my Nikon that I really wanted. They told me it was $400, ok, no big deal. I checked Amazon while still in the store and it was $336. How can I in good conscience [...]
Blog Go Boom
So as you may have noticed, my blog got beaten to death yesterday by Digg. It was my own fault of course, but it was a hilarious experiment none the less. I’m taking my weekend off to relax, and play some Halo 3. I’ll be back on Monday with something new and interesting, I promse. [...]
Digg makes baby Apache cry
Yea. My little digg experiment worked. Too well… Digg keeps crashing apache. I keep restarting it. Be patient. Update – 2007-09-28 @ 16:43 While I’m still getting a good amount of traffic from Digg, Apache hasn’t crashed in a few hours. I’ll keep an eye on things, but it seems like the worst is over. [...]
The internet is for….
…Bots. You thought I was going to say porn, didn’t you? Well obviously the internet isn’t for porn, its for bots. God damn my site has been hammered to hell the last couple months. I made some more ban changed mid last week, namely banning the entire internet. If you are reading this, you are [...]
UK Terror Plot & Ban on Liquid
So for those of you living under a rock, there was a terror plot in the UK that was foiled. The problem is that they were going to use liquid’s for the bomb, so the UK has banned carry ons. In the US they banned all liquids. I was watching Anderson Cooper 360°, and some [...]
Rain is Good
This evening on my way home I looked up at the sky and thought “a storm is coming”. It wasn’t anything overt that really gave it away, its simply that once you live somewhere long enough you learn the weather. Of course this evening we got some lightning, the part that was surprising is that [...]
