Steve Jobs died today.  Here’s some news on it.  It certainly adds weight as to why he didn’t make an appearance at the iPhone 4S presser yesterday. I didn’t write either of these two remarks, but I echo them exactly.  Thanks to Chris F for these.. “For a man I never met, Steve Jobs had […]

I had to cut cable TV earlier this year due to money issues, and from about May till September I was operating with good old rabbit ears in the house. When they worked, it worked great. But I was getting fed up of the constant moving of the rabbit ears, or the twiddling of the […]

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 […]
