I’ve been waiting for the next installment of Crysis to come out but have recently gone back to playing some F.E.A.R. via Steam. Looks like F.E.A.R. 3 will be a worthwhile game. When the first game came out, the horror factor was so well done that some scenes scared the jeebies out of me. Even [...]

Opensource is still the best
As part of my ongoing home IT challenges I have set up a basement server running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. My normal method of managing my servers is to do everything by ssh. That’s geeky, but not much fun. So I looked for a free X server and came across Xming. It’s a not GPL’ed but [...]
The Onion is so wrong, yet so funny
Words just fail me. This is so funny that I almost feel guilty. Very well produced.
Really good Road Runner
And not the Time Warner Cable kind either. I can’t tell if this is legit, but I can tell that it’s very good. Update: It’s not legit.
Light bulb! moment with FIOS
Every now and then I recall the words that one of my friends always asked when we were doing some work. “Right. What are you trying to accomplish exactly?” I had migrated a while back from Optimum Online to FIOS and put my new cable model where the old one was in the basement. I [...]
My subconscious at work?
I’m beginning to believe my subconscious has developed super powers. I am jonesing for a new smart phone that works better than my antiquated iPhone 3G. Given the age of my phone that’s not a tall order. To help me in that direction, my subconscious has disabled the ability of my phone to vibrate when [...]
Hello? AT&T? Can you hear me now?
Any consumer subscription service is about getting what you pay for. 4 bars, a 3G icon, and no Internet connectivity is not acceptable. What good is it to have a grandfathered-in data plan from AT&T if their data network is unavailable half the time? I usually can’t use my phone in Penn Station at all. [...]
And now for something positive
Who says Gizmodo is good for nothing? In my RSS reader I was shown this video. This is not an official NASA ad, but it should be. It was inspired by this video which is also great viewing. Reading and thinking of all the great discoveries that NASA has contributed to us makes me believe [...]
Arizona shooting
Not a good week for Arizona. “The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfortunately Arizona I think is the capital. We are the Mecca for prejudice for prejudice and bigotry,” via ABC News: Police Hunt for ‘Person of Interest’ in Tucson Shooting Yesterday a [...]
Is Arizona’s new motto “Latinos Not Welcomed”?
I’m beginning to believe that Arizona’s State Government just hates anything remotely Latino. For all of that and more, Mr. Acosta’s class and others in the Tucson Unified School District’s Mexican-American program have been declared illegal by the State of Arizona — even while similar programs for black, Asian and American Indian students have been [...]
