Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
As most people who are interested in videogames are doing right now, I went on a hunt for an Xbox 360 this afternoon. I didn’t hit every store that could conceivably have one, but I hit all the major stores in my immediate area, especially after hearing the story on the net about the Best […]
Back to the Vortex by J Shaun Lyon Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a big Dr Who fan. Of all the TV I’ve watched over my lifetime, I daresay Doctor Who is probably my favorite show of all time. Without boring you with the entire history here, the TV show went off the […]
As I sit here waiting for UPS to show up with my packages (all three of which are marked as “out for delivery”), I think this.. Why can’t we have real tracking information? Their existing tracking information should be able to tell which truck a package is in. Slap a GPS machine in each UPS […]
Steve Martin joke aside, two days ago, we got a bunch of new phone books delivered to the house. That’s no big deal, I’ve been seeing phone books at the house for as long as I can remember (and even one disasterous time Lynn and I delivered them, too!). Anyway, I left them there because […]
There’s a new David Gilmour album coming out in 2006. It’s going to be called “On an Island”. It’s been 21 years since Gilmour last released a solo album, and 11 since the last Pink Floyd studio album, so this is very welcome news. I don’t know anything more about it other than it’s title […]

“When we gotta go, gotta go, gotta go — we know how to pee and poo!”
The Beatles are founding fathers of music, and they deserve some respect for that. However, U2 has been more solid over a far longer period of time releasing NEW MUSIC. Yeah, the Beatles have been around for a far longer number of years, but put together the years they were together, and compare it to […]
I’ve been a user of the Firefox web browser for some time now. There’s been a lot written in the press about how Firefox is safer over IE, and I believe that to only marginally be true. Firefox is considered safer because it’s got a smaller market value, and there’s fewer attacks on it vs. […]
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card Am I the only person who has never read this book? I had a few people at work chastise me for not having read it, one of them went to his office and brought me a copy. Now I need to find the time to read it. :)
