I thought it was fun, at one time.

So, in celebration of my good friend Remy making a trip up North, we decided it would be a good idea to do some gaming at Jay’s place. Video games would certainly be involved (which meant Super Monkeyball Deluxe), but we also wanted [...]

Finally atop the Green Monster.

Well, last night, I had my first opportunity to sit in the seats atop the Green Monster at Fenway Park. And to paraphrase Carl paraphrasing Butthead, “I have seen the top of the Park, and it is good.”
The seats offer up a unique [...]

Are you insane?

Ok, it is nice when something as well-made and presented as the television show Firefly and Serenity (a movie based on the TV show) is available for our viewing pleasure. I have seen many of the Firefly episodes more than once and have attended 2 advance screenings of the movie (which is to [...]

Found this on Flickr.

Originally uploaded by Codejoy.

Ok, I was browsing Flickr for photos of E3 2005 and came across this one… great t-shirt. For some reason, most of the photos I came across when searching with the tag “e32005″ were of the “booth babes” and not of [...]

Dell 2005FPW pics

At my request, Carl took some photos of his new toy. If you click on the thumbnail, you will be brought to my Flickr, where I have hosted the pics. Hopefully soon, I will have some pics of my own new toy.

Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch Widescreen LCD

“I have seen the top of the mountain. And it is good.”
So said Butt-head in an old episode of Beavis & Butt-head, and so I say it now.
After nearly crossing party lines and buying an iMac G5 with a tasty built-in 20″ screen, I was in a quandary. I had been lured by [...]

Just one more…

If I hear one more person talk about the bad acting in the latest 3 Star Wars films… I mean, has anyone ever watched the original trilogy? Anyone? Do we not recall the horrible dialogue and even worse delivery? Does no one recall the scene where Luke is first told, [...]

E3 Bullets

Final Fantasy XI coming to Xbox 360 and Xbox Live
Xbox 360 to be backwards compatible (mostly)
The PS3 design will probably grow on me
Why does the PS3 come with a boomerang… oh, thats a controller
Sony offers 1080p HD.
Nintendo who?

Review: Unleashed

Jet Li can act.
No, that’s not a misprint, and yes, I do think it was a necessary statement to make.
There have been a few action stars to come out of China over the past forty years or so. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, just to name a few. But Hollywood, in [...]

Xbox 360: Revealed

Well, for most of us who regularly read sites like Engadget, we have had most of the specifics concerning the Xbox 360 for a little while. Nonetheless, it was exciting to hear many of the rumors turn out to be true.
Last night, MTV aired a half-hour infomercial about the upcoming Xbox. Unfortunately, the [...]

Wordpress Upgraded.

I just finished a very simple and very quick upgrade to Wordpress 1.5.1. In fact, I feel a bit uneasy about how very easy the upgrade went. But, I have faith in the folks over at Wordpress. However, you know the drill… if you see any oddities or errors, just let me [...]

Damn, thats a big laptop.

Dell is going to be selling a 19″ widescreen laptop. Holy cow.

CherryOS Revisited.

Informants, hidden codes, international intrigue… This story reads like a detective novel. The DrunkenBlog does not disappoint (again). A very good read, if you are at work and don’t actually feel like working.

Since I found Serenity

He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And he gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain’t hard to explain
The Hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne…
The crowd in the capacity filled movie theater burst into the song from the Firefly episode Jaynestown, knowing that they were just a [...]

Serenity Now!!!!

At 10 p.m. this Cinco de Mayo evening, I will be shouting Serenity Now ala Kramer:
Kramer: (Crashing and banging around) Serenity nooooowwwww!
George: Why couldn’t you squeeze one of those stupid rubber balls
to get your stress out? Why did you have to destroy *twenty-five*
computers?
Kramer: (Leaving) George, you listen to me. I owe ya one.
I will be [...]

Apple Getting Help Against TigerDirect?

Interestingly, Apple is getting help from a rather odd and unexpected source in it’s new fight against TigerDirect. Robert F. Young, a founder of Red Hat and owner of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (Canadian football team), has offered to license the name ‘Tiger’ to Apple for free. A quick escape for Apple in the [...]

Time Travel Convention

Apparently, there is a Time Travel Convention being held at MIT. All Time Travellers are welcome.
Since the problem of Time Travel may not be solved until well after MIT has ceased to exist, the convention organizers are providing lat-lon coordinates. Unfortunately, this web-page (and the organizer’s web page) probably won’t exist that far [...]

Gummi on Flickr.

This has to be one of the best series of pics I have seen on Flickr. Not only does it take an original approach to the depiction of the seven deadly sins, but the images are beautiful.

I think my favorite picture has to be the “envy” picture. You almost feel sorry for that [...]

Review: Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy.

“Forty-two.”
That, according to a supercomputer named Deep Thought, is the answer to the question about Life, the Universe, and Everything. Of course, the question had to be figured out in order for the answer to make any sense… and of course, that will take ten million years. And that on top of the [...]

Anarchy in JP

I just wanted to share a photo of my punk-rock wife.
I have been going through my older digital/digitized photos and slowly uploading them to Flickr. The latest batch to make its way up is a set of photos from a Halloween party from way back in 2001. There are a few good [...]
