Transcript of an IM Conversation between my friend Dave and me. It’s funny. Really.
(2:23:19 PM) Carl Reyes: saw ‘Wanted’… good flick
(2:23:28 PM) Carl Reyes: very loosely based on the comic (which I have yet to read)
(2:25:14 PM) Dave @ GTalk: yeah, apparently the only thing that they brought over was the name
(2:25:27 PM) [...]

Look for it on my personal blog.

Well folks, carlreyes.com is now registered and contains my personal piece of webspace. It’s my journal, soapbax, anecdotes, etc.
Anything about me that doesn’t appear here will appear there, as well as rants, raves, and non sequitur. The blog itself will always be Safe For Work (except for the occasional written profanity), but it [...]

Colin seems to think we need to come up with an excuse for why there is no podcast this week. Excuse has such a negative cannotation. I am going with truth.
I suppose the fault is mine. You remember how last week’s episode was posted tardy because I was sick? Well, Colin [...]

Today… today was a good day. Or rather, it ended up as such. 
Work was fine, nothing really special. My boss paid for lunch, which was awesome. Got a bunch of work done. Overall, it was a slightly better-than-average workday.
I got into my car at 5PM and started the engine. Cranked up the AC. Reached back [...]

“Hi, I’m a Mac.”
“And I’m a PC.”
So begins Apple’s latest round of clever television advertisements. Surely you’ve seen them, and if not, you can easily find them, and the parodies of them, on sites like YouTube. So I won’t bore you with an explanation.
But if you watch the ads, and have listened to [...]

I was going to leave it alone. I was. I had read it myself, had the link sent to me by my fiancee, and then by my friend. Since I ended up reading it three separate times and had a day to stew over it, I decided sure, I’ll totally crap on [...]

I’m a Liberal, I admit it. A Libertarian, really, which some socially democratic tendencies. As such, to say that I am against pretty much 100% of what Bush and the Republican-controlled Houses are doing at any given moment would be a gross understatment.
That being said, it takes an ignorant fool with his head [...]

Yeah, if you listened to Episode 15 of the BostonGeek Podcast, you know I hate the RIAA.  No secret there.
I’m not the only one, though.  The winner of our First BostonGeek Giveaway, Greg Howley of Canon City, Colorado, hates them too.  He has a great blog, chock full of info and surprising info.  I hope [...]

I have not abanadoned you.
I’ve just been sick. Coughing up yellow balls of something resembling jelly.
I’ll post soon, I promise.

Elizabeth Anne Carreiro was born at 8:12PM EST, on December 18th, 2005. She’s a healthy 7lbs, 6 oz.
Our best and warmest wishes to the proud parents, Jason and Kelly, and to Kelly’s speedy recovery.
And a toast and a cheer to the addition to the ranks of geekery!

So, the new XBOX Live allows people to see what game you most recently played, and when the last time you logged on was. And I don’t mean the last time you competed. The last time you logged on. To your XBOX (well, the 360 at least).
Because most Live-enabled games [...]

I have seen the top of the mountain, and it is good.
My XBOX 360 shipped this afternoon. I should have it in my hands by Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks to Colin for getting me in on a few that were in stock at an online retailer. They sold out within 22 minutes, and I [...]

A soldier came home in a box, recently. Nothing new there, considering military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan. This soldier, one Staff Sgt. Christopher N. Piper, was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. He was a supporter of free speech, and a supporter of gay rights.
His hometown of Marblehead herladed him [...]

Well, not really. In fact, I doubt I am qualified to say whether something, or anything, is indeed too much, when taken in the context of the evolution of global civilization (although there will still be ranting). I might just be having another self-indulgent episode of introspection from which some great new personal [...]

During the Winter of 2002, I was interviewed for an article on the player’s perspective on D&D. Since I basically did the interview as a favor to my girlfriend at the time (she was taking a journalism writing class at Harvard), I have no idea what the publication details, if any exist, are.

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 [...]

This being my first post, I’ll keep the profanities so prevalent in my rants to a minimum. Well, I’ll try to, anyway.
On January 6, 1996, I moved from Rutherford, New Jersey, to Boston, Massachusetts. I turned my back on my ‘family’ and drove (okay, bussed) forward to meet my own destiny. In [...]
