One of the great things about Fenway park, is the intimate atmosphere. As a fan in some seats, you are so close to the action that you feel a part of it. Add a few drinks to the equation, and make sure the person in question is dumb enough to buy into [...]

The night began rather poorly. First of all, I spent the better part of a half-hour on my cell-phone listening to Carl’s R-rated commentary on the poor design of Boston’s roadways and the less-than-impressive driving skills of Boston motorists. Telling him to take a deep-breath and count to 10 didn’t work. Sitting [...]

Yarrrrr. Me thinks so.
Oh, sorry, not the type of pirate that travels the world attacking others and stealing their riches. Or is he?
Nevertheless, there is an interesting article that talks about President Bush’s iPod playlist and Boing Boing points out how he may be engaging in behavior deemed theft by the RIAA.

An article at Critical-Miss discusses the recent announcement made by Comcast and Tivo which discusses an innovation in television advertising.
On the surface, I think it is quite a neat idea. For one, it addresses the shift in viewing behavior caused by Tivo (and other DVR/PVRs). Many people spend much of their television viewing [...]

Jason just wrote an ode to VG Cats and it got me to thinking. I really don’t read enough webcomics.
Anyone have suggestions?

The month of music shall commence tomorrow evening! Well, for Carl, I suppose it starts tonight. You see, he is attending a Tori Amos concert… which is close to an unforgiveable act.

Apple has finally updated the OSX page on their website to include information about Tiger’s release. Looks like this cat will pounce on Friday, April 29th. Woo hoo!

Looks like the usual gaming group might be playing another Monte Cook adventure after finishing up the Temple of Mysteries.

This time, with Jason at the helm.
Since it is a long adventure, we will probably play it episodically and mix in some other games with other players acting as Game Master. Should be fun, [...]

Yep. On MTV, of all places, instead of the typical unveiling at E3.

There is a great forum thread about what makes a bad GM or a bad Player. Seems like it should be a must-read for any gamer.

So, this weekend was interesting. I spent the better part of it preparing my apartment to become ‘our’ apartment when my girlfriend moves in with me at the end of the month. But a few hours yesterday were spent on a little ‘me’ time, and that meant finally taking apart my computer for [...]

You may notice occasional changes to the look of the site. This is just my feeble attempt to make things look nice. I like the overall layout of the site the way it is, and thus, you shouldn’t see any major changes… only cosmetic ones.
Thanks,

So, I had my first night as DM last night. And, it went a little better than I anticipated. Although, to be quite honest, I had thought I was going to do a horrible job.
I don’t have time to write about my experience right now, but Jason, has posted a summary of last [...]

Yeah, okay… I was skeptical at first. But damn, major kudos to this guy.

Seriously, check this out.

EDIT: Hrm, the feet never leave the ground, leading me to the conclusion that it’s sorta rollerblading around. Still, damn cool.

Google Maps now offers satellite images. Neat.

As the lengthy title of this article implies, I’m going to rant a bit about how most laptop shells (the plastic casing comprised of the plastic bottom, back, and palmrest) are made not only out of brittle, fragile materials but are also designed apparently by some group that believes planned obsolescence is a good thing.

Well, somehow, my usual gaming cohort has wrangled me into playing DM for a one-shot (a game that lasts only one session). Since I have never acted in this capacity, it should be quite an adventure.

Well, I think I have decided that I will be removing the captcha for commenting that I installed. For one, it doesn’t seem to be an elegant solution. Second, for whatever reason, it has broken my XHTML Strict validation. And most importantly, it makes commenting completely inaccessible to those with visual impairments. [...]

The CherryOS website states “CherryOS is On Hold - until further notice.” and nothing else. The Maui X-Stream website has no mention of the product.

Earl Grey, hot.
Maybe that Star Trek gadgetry isn’t too far off. One chef, Homaru Cantu, has come up with novel way to print out some designer, edible masterpieces.
