Aww nuts. Received this message when I logged into Flickr yesterday:
Dear Old Skool Account-Holding Flickr Member,
On March 15th we’ll be discontinuing the old email-based Flickr sign in system. From that point on, everyone will have to use a Yahoo! ID to sign in to Flickr.
We’re making this change now to simplify the sign in [...]

Greetings all, Big Remy here with some beer related events that I was made aware of by the people at Magic Hat Brewing Company.
First is the Magic Hat Mardi Gras Weekend (Feb 16th-18th): A festival with music, food and parades (and of course I’m sure lots of beer) in Burlington VT. [...]

This episode features yet another… oh, I dunno… shall we kindly call it ‘an invitation for one of those Southern-style pig-f***s’ from Diebold, a strum on the strings of String Theory, and Sweden’s founding of a virtual embassy in a virtual world.
We follow up with another Howling episode of the Game Geek Challeng, and a [...]

Brewery: OHanlons, Whimple, Devon, England (website is under construction, so no link)
Brewery Description: Royal Oak is a pale ale of noble character in the grand tradition of British country brewing. Classically deep amber, rich in malt and fragrant with hop aroma, it’s a rounded, soft ale of beautifully balanced complexity and lasting finish.
Brew Style: ESB/English [...]

Greg Howley, creator and presenter of the Game Geek Challenge on the BostonGeek Podcast, has a great series (six so far) of quizzes where he asks you to guess the movie based on the quote.  Each quiz has ten quotes.
In homage, and because I was discussing it recently with Greg, I would like to present [...]

How many podcasters does it take to screw…
Eh, you’ve heard that one already.  On this week’s podcast, Karl “Cap’n” Kornfeld joins us again.  We express clinginess to get him to stay on permanently… then we tell him we will not be ignored.  Meanwhile, on the Geek Top Three we discuss another giant company (TJX) getting [...]

Okay, I’ll come out and say it: the lion’s share of the appeal of Evanescence’s first album, Fallen, was that Amy Lee sang with the range, expressive clarity and precision usually associated with R&B singers, but she was singing white, suburban hard rock. But for many of us - particularly, but not exclusively musicians - [...]

Brewery: Bierbrouwerij St. Christoffel, JB Roermond, Netherlands
Brewery Description: Oh Christ ” Ooit geboren als “Christoffel Bier” was dit het eerste bier dat door Bierbrouwerij St. Christoffel werd gebrouwen. Na het verschijnen van Christoffel Robertus is dit bier hernoemd en heeft het de naam Blond meegekregen, verwijzend naar de kleur van het bier. [...]

My first impressions upon hearing of the Nintendo Revolution months ago were mixed. On one hand, if they could get the controller to recognise movement the way they seemed to promise, it could make for some amazing games. But many of the people who tried the newly christened Wii at E3 last year posted reviews [...]

The Return…
I wish it were more epic.  After being in some stage of undeath for nearly two weeks, Colin finally cleared up enough to record.  So we took a week off.  Eh, our loyal subjects will forgive us… hello?  Loyal subjects?
Eh, at any rate, in this week’s episode we are once again joined by our [...]

Brewery: Leinenkugel Brewing Company (SABMiller), Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, USA
Brewery Description: “If you’ve ever experienced a Northwood’s sunset, you know its a moment unlike any other. So instead of putting it into words, we captured the Northwood’s finest moment in every batch of our all-new Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat. Brewed with select Wheat and Pale [...]

Gabe, in this Penny Arcade strip, reminds me of someone. I can’t quite place it, but I know it sounds really, really familiar.

I am sure the masses are wondering where this week’s podcast is? Well, I can tell you where it isn’t… uploaded and enclosed in an RSS feed. The truth is, my hatchling of a cold grew up to be the bird flu, or at least thats what it felt like to me. [...]

Even though this site treats the PS2 and Sony like its a red headed step child that deserves to be beaten with a rubber hose (okay, Sony does but the PS2 gives nothing but love), the PS2 is still a strong, competitive console (I’d rather own it than an XBox360 and lo and behold I [...]

Momofuku Ando, the inventor of Ramen noodles, passed away last night.
He made it to 96 - proof that that stuff really is good for you!

Authors Note: So I have modified this post because I’ve come to realize that part of what I said was stupid, even though the original attempt was to be funny. Obviously it didn’t work. I’ll attempt to be smarter in the future when making comments. That being said, anyone who hints at [...]

Thanks to a combination of Colin’s jetlag, drunkenness, and illness, he’s mostly mute in this episode.  Thankfully, our most excellent friend Karl Kornfeld was our guest, and filled in the blanks with rambling narratives that… made no sense.
On this bizarre entry to the New Year, we discuss AT&T’s promise (fingers crossed?) to maintain net neutrality [...]

So I was busting around The Feed over on G4’s website and someone posted one of the greatest things ever. I’ve always been huge into SciFi, and there has always been these nagging questions concerning the starships in the various series (ie Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, etc etc). Primary of those for [...]

Working with n-Track Studio 5.0
Several weeks ago I reported that I was unable to review n-Track Studio 5.0 due to a plethora of bugs and problems. I’m now able to report that the software appears to be working correctly and is definitely worth a look by anyone interested in this type of software.
What on earth [...]
