I forgot to mention that my birthday was yesterday. But the fact that I’m now 30 isn’t important–Halloween, on the other hand, is. Being born the day before Halloween means October 31st becomes a very important moment in time every year. We’ll be trick and/or treating this evening. But prior to that, even though yesterday […]
I’m busy – leave me alone!
Between grinding on Maple Story and drawing comics, I’ve been pretty busy lately. But I haven’t forgotten all 27 of you dedicated readers. Well, yes I have.
I don’t like Google Docs
I was going to say I hate Google Docs, but that’s a bit strong. Anyone who had documents with Writely prior to the big server shift yesterday will know what I mean. Writely had a sexy, lean, smooth, web 2.0 interface. The ajax was slick, the usability was high. Then, Google got their hands on […]
Mike pisses off mainstream news media, film at 11
So, Mike talks to the Online News Association at their annual conference about how they’re becoming obsolete, and wonders why they were so suddenly so antagonistic towards him? Please. It shouldn’t be a surprise to you, Mike, that you were treated as the young, energetic upstart to their aging dinosaur. You can’t wait for the […]
Shutterfly IPO
Looks like popular photo site Shutterfly had a very successful opening on the stock exchange. Good for them! Marshall does an excellent job of pointing out why people (like my wife and I) use Shutterfly. The best advantage? Holiday cards. We’ve used Shutterfly to send out our holiday cards for the past three years, and […]
More on Bordee
Evidently I didn’t miss the boat on Bordee. It’s only recently launched and is getting noticed. I’ve been playing around with it, and there’s something magnificent that I’ve discovered. I went to the Bordee homepage and looked around at the Bordee topics posted there. I wandered into one post about a new Weebl’s flash. Someone […]
Wherefore art thou, Press Start podcast?
Is the Press Start podcast dead before it even had a chance to live? I suppose that’s a fairly leading statement. I guess I should just ask the question in the subject: where has Press Start gone? The phenomenal alt.NPR offering was the only gaming podcast I regularly listened to (aside from the excellent Evil […]
Virtual messageboard via Bordee
I just discovered a slick new web 2.0 tool that most of you have probably been using for months now. I don’t know how this slipped under my radar because it’s something that I’ve been looking for and think should get more widespread attention. I was doing some searches for ajax-based free messageboards to join […]
New header graphic
I’m the large geek boy-in-man’s-body on the left. The guy on the right is an immensely wonderful friend of mine who spent two years in the Middle East serving as a missionary with his wife. I truly, truly enjoy having fellow nerds as friends. Have a good weekend. =D
Does a $60 price tag equal “next-gen”?
Fellow Nerdblog Network member, bapenguin, has a vicious rant posted on Evil Avatar today, mercilessly attacking publishers (read: Electronic Arts) for their feeble attempts at passing minimal or non-existent “upgrades” as “next-generation content”: One of the hottest topics with next-gen games right now is the price. $59.99 sucks. But what sucks worse is when games […]
