Goodbye Compuserve

Just read this morning that as of yesterday, Compuserve Classic ceased to be. That’s a major milestone for a service that had been around for a very long time. Now I didn’t realize the old Compuserve still was operational, that was a surprise. Anyway, Compuserve and I go way back. When I got my first […]

MacGruber

This was on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. MacGruber is a recent vintage SNL recurring bit, and for some reason I laughed really hard at this (especially the third one). My wife witnessed it, and it’s really short, dumb, and it always blows up at the end. For some reason, I really enjoy the […]

Breaking the Money System in Animal Crossing Wii

  • byJoe Siegler
  • Posted on

I’ve been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: City Folk lately. I was hooked on this game in the last iteration on game consoles (that being the Gamecube version). This new one is mostly the same, and that’s a disappointment, but there’s enough small stuff changed that it doesn’t feel 100% like the old version. […]

Oh no! I saw a breast. FREAK OUT!

Once again, the fact that the United States has its collective head up its ass over the issue of sexuality comes up again, and has made me want to rant about it. This time it raises it’s ugly head in the form of the August 2006 issue of the free magazine Baby Talk. The cover […]

Make Amazon.com pay you! [ UPDATED ]

Update:  I’ve been making use of the policy below for years, but I had read this past week that it was discontinued on September 1st. This is a major bummer to me, as it was a great deal which I’ve gotten much money back from. Perhaps that is the reason they stopped doing it. I […]

Politics, Gender, & Race

I don’t often talk about politics, mostly because I know the kind of conversations that usually come after it. They’re generally not good. However, I feel compelled to say something. PEOPLE THAT VOTE FOR SOMEONE BASED SOLELY ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN OR THEIR PARTICULAR GENDER REALLY PISS ME OFF. I know way too […]

Iron Chef America

I was a fan of the original Iron Chef show from Japan, and watched Iron Chef America for a time. It’s a respectful enough sequel to the original, unlike that fiasco with William Shatner. Anyway, I guess I should have expected this. A videogame based on Iron Chef. But I wonder how the heck it […]

Gmail Error – I’m tired of seeing this

  • byJoe Siegler
  • Posted on

If you’re a Gmail (or Google Apps Mail) user, then you’ve probably seen this lately. A few months back, Google pushed out a newer, “faster” version of Gmail, which by all accouts is faster. It appears (to this non techie programmer), that some of the things are done in javacript locally, then “pushed” (of sorts) […]
