I switched from Sprint PCS to T-Mobile about a month ago for cell phone service as they seem to have the cheapest plans that I’ve seen. So far other than a few spots where coverage could be better, it’s worked just fine for me. Something I think which is pretty cool is that you can [...]

Greyhound Racing on Real Sports
23Nov04I have my PVR set to record this so I haven’t seen it yet, but I thought I’d post that Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (on HBO) is doing a story about Greyhound Racing. Despite the lack of a widespread fan base, and in the face of constant protests by animal rights groups, greyhound racing [...]
You know, homework sometimes spirals a bit out of control for me. I swear I’ve done my current assignment about 20 times, but each time I find a major flaw and have to start a major portion of it over again. I’m currently working on a requirements document, and a multitude of UML diagrams that [...]
Back in the late 80′s and early 90′s, I spent many hours as a young shaver playing the fabled games of Sierra On-Line such as Space Quest, Kings Quest, and yes, even Leisure Suit Larry (any versions since 1996 or so do not really capture any of the classic elements of that game). There are [...]
Got Hacks?
20Nov04If not, there are plenty of clever ones at HackADay.
I’ve been playing Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source quite a bit this weekend, and noticed a few quirky things such as some textures on walls being a solid red, etc. When opening up the console to enter commands, there would be various errors such as mp3′s and graphics files unable to be found. Yesterday Valve [...]
Amazon’s Top 100 Albums of 2004
18Nov04Following Jake’s lead, I decided to compare what I own against Amazon’s best of 2004. I also looked-up the Best of 2003 since I figured I probably have more of last year’s music than this years. Here is how I compare:
The Hangover Begins
17Nov04In further “this is going to be a long 4 years” news, the US Senate voted today to raise the federal debt by $800 billion. Yes, that’s billion with a B, people. The bill, if approved by the House in a vote expected on Thursday, would authorize the third big increase in the federal borrowing [...]
Ol’ Dirty Bastard Dead at Age 35
13Nov04I’m home tonight trying not to spread my cold, and came across a bit about ODB dying while in the studio. NEW YORK (AP) — The rap artist O.D.B., whose utterly unique rhymes, wild lifestyle and incessant legal troubles made him one of the most vivid characters in hip-hop, collapsed and died inside a recording [...]
Wes McKinley, the Democratic Candidate for District 64 (the area I grew-up in) was elected to the State House last week. I actually was paying attention to this earlier, but am now just getting around to posting about it. His wife was one of my teachers in High School, and I also had a class [...]
