Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Today is August 31, 2011. It’s a day that’s fairly odd for me emotionally. It’s in some ways the end of the road for the […]
Those who know me know I’m a big Doctor Who dork. Earlier this year, I did this video, which is a complete comprehensive tribute to the series (with clips of every single story from 1963 to 2010). Earlier today I had a friend ask me on Facebook about where he should start with watching the […]
For some reason, as I’ve gotten older, handy household tips like this have drawn my attention. I posted one myself about two months ago about using old candle wax as an air freshener. My wife also had a good one about mildly reducing heat by putting a tea kettle over an oven burner after you’ve […]
I like candles. Always have. I have bought them for ages, burned a virtual infinite number of them. Used to burn them at work too, until some moron I worked with left his burning after he left for the night, so nobody was allowed to burn candles at work. Grr.. Heck, during my unemployment period, […]
As an Xbox owner, I’ve paid close attention to the offerings on Xbox LIVE Gold, as I’ve been a member of that since it’s inception. My profile bears the “8” mark, which means I’ve been a member for eight years. I was one of the people chosen from the public to test the service before […]
This week I noticed that Amazon is finally adding a much needed, and puzzlingly absent feature from their Kindles. That’s the ability to borrow a book from the public library. Long available in the Barnes & Noble Nook reader, this feature will come to Amazon’s Kindle sometime later in 2001. About bloody time! This has […]
This past March, I went on a trip down to Round Rock to see the Texas Rangers play their AAA affiliate, the Round Rock Express in the final exhibition game of Spring Training. It was cool, as I got to ride down with Patrick McCollough, and we had a great time talking baseball, and a […]
In the rampup to the release of Duke Nukem Forever in June, a series of videos have begun to be released. The first in the history series came out a short while ago, and it’s a cool look into some fiddly bits regarding the early history of Duke Nukem, and the franchse before “Forever”. I’m […]
This video interview of Duke Nukem Forever is near the start of the press rolling forwards towards the game’s release. Definitely cool!
I’ve been using the Firefox 4 beta builds for awhile now, and previous to an hour ago, I haven’t had any problems with them. Beta 8 though posed a new one. Apparently in Beta 7, they removed the “status bar”, and replaced it with the “Add-on Bar”. Which doesn’t bother me so much, although it […]
