GamesForHeroes.com is a nice non-profit charity to send handheld game consoles to the troops in Iraq. I haven’t been deployed yet, but after being in tech school and basic training I know boredom can be an issue in some military situations, especially when you’re in the middle of the desert I’m sure. Might keep some guys […]
Wired Science is a new show on PBS from the same people that produce WIRED magazine and the WIRED.com web site. Obviously the show is about science, and I’ve really been enjoying it. They present a lot of interesting modern technology just like they do in the magazine and on the web site, but in full […]
I like Amazon. I am an Amazon Prime member so I get 2-day shipping for free all the time, which makes ordering things on a whim much easier because you don’t have to worry about wasting money shipping a single item.

After much discussion, we have come up with this…
If the two names are of different […]
Lost is one of my favorite TV shows in a long time. It’s like a movie, only it comes on every week!
At least it did… The show has been in re-runs for several weeks, which has all but killed the momentum of the show for me. Wednesday night used to be “Lost Night” that my […]
Here is a great cartoon about procrastination, which I suffer from. In fact I’m posting this link on this blog instead of working. Dammit.
I’m switching all my email back to the IMAP accounts on my server, and using Apple Mail to check my email again. For the past 3 days Gmail has been terribly unreliable for me, on multiple computers. Messages weren’t being moved, I had to click the send button 5 or 10 times before it would […]

I’ve received about 11 invites in the past day or two, so […]
