Let the world know (well, at least the 3 people who read this blog), that Carl has joined the ranks of the Dirty Old Bastids today.
No more can he walk side-by-side, and claim kinship with the twenty-somethings. His membership into that club has been revoked.
But, do not despair. There is a [...]

Blizzard has moved to the offensive when it comes to gold-farming in WoW. They have banned over a thousand gamer accounts that they have determined to be farming gold and selling it for real world currency.

See Carl, OSX isn’t just for artists and BoBo’s. It’s for geeks, too. Well, at least the geeks at Google like it.
Update:Looks like the page has been removed from Google. Maybe this wasn’t meant to surface until the upcoming Apple anniversary (which hopefully coincides with the release of Tiger)? [...]

Looks like I will have yet another RPG to try out. This time, it is based on the incredibly fun MMORPG, City of Heroes.

There is a nice article describing the next version of the Netscape browser. From what I have read, it has some nice features. Most notably, it can render web-pages using either the IE or Firefox engines depending on what Netscape determines the security risk of the site being visited (low risk sites can [...]

There is a story about George Washington cutting down a cherry tree that is meant to teach children about telling the truth. If only the folks producing CherryOS would have paid attention to that tale in elementary school.

Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior is an action movie in its purest form. It is a story about a small village in Thailand that has the head of its sacred Buddha statue stolen. Ting volunteers to travel to Bangkok (and beyond) to get the statue back. What follows are some of the most [...]

Unfortunately, I am at work and cannot watch the videos with sound. But as soon as I do…

I wonder if the Heroes played some ball afterward? I mean, there is a hoop conveniently located on their battleground.

Happy birthday to you;

Happy birthday, Dear Adel;
Happy birthday to you! <3

Looks like the Israeli Army (IDF) believes all soldiers who play D&D are insane:
“One of the tests we do, either by asking soldiers directly or through information provided us, is to ask whether they take part in the game,” he says. “If a soldier answers in the affirmative, he is sent to a professional [...]

Well, I have been free from my T-Mobile contract for a while. I do really like the service plan I have, but have become quite dissatisfied with my phone (Sidekick Color). I started with the original Sidekick, and when that went bust on me twice, T-Mobile replaced it with a Color (as I [...]

Wil Wheaton has offered up a puzzle for the amusement (and toture) of his visitors.

Update: Well, adding more pics to the gallery has broken the plugin. Will have to investigate. Looks like some tidying up of the PHP to properly close HTML tags has fixed the plugin… for now. I will have to keep a close eye on this.
I am slowly uploading all my digital photos [...]

Ok, first off, I love my PowerBook. Never before have I had a computer that was such a joy to use. It is not a perfect computer, but it has easily been my favorite.
One issue that has plagued my PowerBook since I purchased it 6-months ago has been connectivity issues with my wireless [...]

A new exhibit will be featured at the MFA from March 6th through July 3rd. Featured will be 16 automobiles from the collection of Ralph Lauren. I might just have to check it out.

Visit the MFA website to find out more information about the exhibit.

If you go over to Apple Downloads, you will notice that there are a few extra categories present. Unfortunately, the links lead to nowhere at this point. But, it would be easy to speculate that this could mean Tiger is just around the corner.
Here is a screenshot, for those that are too lazy [...]

The usual group of people who I have played various RPGs over the past couple years, has decided to try out a new system called The Pool.

I didn’t realize when I made a minor change to the code for the sidebar menu, that I had broken the site’s XHTML validation. Well, I fixed it… now someone just needs to slap me on the wrist and call me a bad webmaster.
Also, other site-realted news:
I changed the settings so that only registered [...]

I was just in Starbucks so I could pickup an Earl GrayGrey (edit: apparently Carl is anal about which version of grey is used here) prior to work. The woman behind me in line stepped forward to place her order and it went something like this:
“Could I have a Venti triple-shot hazlenut non-fat no-foam [...]
