Short review: This little thing ROCKS. It's tiny, crystal clear, and very usable.Long review: This little thing still rocks. I have to say that one thing Nintendo does well is handhelds. I love the Gamecube, but I think they fumbled the ball on it and it lost some of its potential to the other, lesser (yes, I said LESSER) console offerings from Sony and Microsoft. I look forward to the

Yes, it certainly has. It's been many years since I posted to this Blog. I've tried a few other sites, but this one is the one I'll post to from now on I guess.

Legend DVD Mini-Review: In case anyone was wondering if I had died or not, the rumors of my untimely passing have been greatly exaggerated. I've been having fun scanning photos of Project:Impala into my Mac, making mp3 compilation CDs for work, using this amazing Mac tool called "Dragthing" (which is the neatest tool since LaunchBar), and last but not least, trying to get Linux to recognize my

The Mold of Britney I just finished reading Philip K. Dick's short story "Mold of Yancy", about a fictitious character that is "everyman" and how it was used by Trade Syndicates on Callisto to brainwash the citizenry to accept a future war between Callisto and Ganymede over markets and profit. Yancy was based on Eisenhower, as PKD mentions in the notes section of my short story collection,

Good books: I don't see why some people hate to read. Sure, it's not the most exciting thing to do with your eyes and brain, but it certainly flexes the muscle that is your brain. I don't read as much as I want to, because I am so tied up with other interests. My reading suffers a bit from time to time. I haven't finished "A History of the Vikings" quite yet, but it's getting juicy, so I

RPG games and who knows what else: I love computer games. I always have. The only reason I ever wanted a computer was to play computer games. I remember back before my first Atari (an 800XL), I used to take my mom's old manual typewriter and pretend I had a computer that wanted my input. A few years before I got my first computer, I saw at a friend's house the amazing Vic-20. We spent 30

Stargazing, Photography, or something like them: I recently subscribed to Weatherunderground.com ($5/year no ads), and I started to look seriously at the Astronomy section (which is a little restricted for non-members). I found the information on the astronomy site quite something to behold. I have never been seriously interested in astronomy before, but I have had a few telescopes. The most

Random thought patterns: Sorry for the delay in posting, but I've been having small problems with Blogger's editing facilities. I can't complain. It's free. ;) So, I sit here listening to Moonsorrow's new CD, and I start thinking. What *IS* it with music these days? I don't have a real answer, considering every generation that passes to adulthood says the same thing about the current

Delays, delays. Sorry folks, but it's been quite a couple of weeks. I haven't been posting regularly because, well, I'm lazy. So I figured I'd latch on to another topic and give you my special brand of sarcasm. What is the topic, you ask? Digital TV. I confessed last month that I like gadgets. I have exceptions to the 'gadget rule' so to speak, and a big one is Digital TV/HDTV. First of

Creative Nomad Jukebox: or, Stuff that Frustrates I guess I like gadgets. I have lots of little things that serve no other purpose than the "gee whiz" factor. I have a PDA, but I find it not so useful for much beyond little games and storing my emails once in a while. (Top that off with Palm/Handspring's slow acceptance of OS X.) I have a flatbed scanner too. Well, I have two. Of all my

Diablo II for OSX! Woohoo! Well, folks, it's here. go to http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2 and get yourself the first Carbonized version of Diablo II and Diablo II:Lord of Destruction! I know, I know. Most people are done playing...but I am still yearning to get my damn paladin through Nightmare mode alive. He's level 42, and full of great junk...though his skills are weak against non-melee

The great Motherboard Fiasco Part 2: I know, you don't know about part 1. Part 1 involved USB troubles with the A7V from Asus. I tried to get it to work. First the original back two USB ports refused to work, and would lock up the system solid if anything was attached to them (including a hub.) Then, the backup system failed (the A7V has room for 7 USB ports.) So I retired it. I decided

Well, this is my last attempt at getting this to work right with my IE for Mac. If it won't do it for me, I'm going to make my own blog on my own free homepage. (It's not like anyone reads this anyway.) There are quite a few blog scripts available, but I'm going to make my own. I figure it will help learn how to set one up, as well as making it easier to change things as the focus of the Blog

Random thought #1: The SSSCA. I suppose it's inevitable. The internet has enabled the average user to do many things that just weren't possible before. Computer power has made it easier for the bad to do bad, as well as the good to do good. As with all devices, the computer is being used for nasty purposes. Just like a color photocopier, people try to print their own money with scanners and
