I’ve been “blessed” with the ability to learn and do just about anything I put my mind to. I put blessed in quotation marks because it’s essentially made it difficult for me to focus on any one thing long enough to… make a career out of it I suppose. In the past the closest I [...]

Two days ago, I set out to set up my Xbox 360 to stream videos from my computer. It was suppose to be an easy task. All I had to do was upgrade to Media Player 11 and I was pretty much good to go. [There's a blog that explains the whole thing right here.] [...]

I used to use Bloglines to keep track of the blogs I read but I never really became “one” with using it. I never got accustomed to the way things were setup, and reading everyone’s blogs became somewhat of a chore at times. Well, my homedog Robonutz got me on the Google Reader tip and, [...]

This is kind of a note to self + announcement.  I found out today that I might get the chance to participate in an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) event in China.  That means that I’m going to have to get really serious about training and getting into TOP PHYSICAL CONDITION. I have been secretly planning [...]

I spent the whole day glued to the boob-tube (does that work for computers?) I chatted with some fold on the various chat platforms, hooked up my linked in profile and upgraded WordPress to version 2.1. I haven’t noticed any major changes to WordPress yet, but one nice thing is the “tabbed” WYSIWYG, which allows [...]

I wrote this last week and meant to post it then… oops! ___ I think it’s blatantly obvious that art mimics life. I think what might be a little hard to see is that life mimics art, but that too is quite obvious once given some thought. The ebb and flow of these two things [...]

I don’t have time rant about international free trade, unemployment, or any other economical misfortune that plagues the planet.  But I will today, because it’s relevant, mention the fact that I’m becoming more responsible with my alcohol consumption. We all know that drinking and driving is "bad", but many people do it (I am/was on [...]

Wow.  It’s only been 10 days since I last blogged.  A year or two a go that wouldn’t have even been considered a break in "usual" blogging activity, but now, people have asked me (WHAT UP MONSTER!) "Dude, everything alright?  Why haven’t you been blogging lately?"  Well there is a reason (a combination of some [...]

OK, I always have something to do, but now, for the most part, they’re little somethings (in my mind.) So little that they’re practically nothing. This past Saturday all I did was surf the net and play video games. I never even left the house. What’s so special about this? Nothing! The special part is [...]

What you’re about to see is about 31 minutes of couch assembling action, zipped up into about 2.5 minutes. I only increased the speed, nothing was cut out (except for about 2 seconds in the beginning.) I think it turned out OK. Below the video is some of the dialogue (it’s hard to understand because [...]
