iPod Anniversary

• Sunday, February 19th, 2006 • No Comments

It’s been a bit over one year since I went out and bought my iPod and wrote this scathing comparison of it to the iRiver H10 that I had. I thought it’d be a good idea to post impressions one year later.

In that review I stated that my iPod was everything I dreamed of, and [...]


Trauma Center (NDS)

• Sunday, February 19th, 2006 • No Comments

I’d hate to bemoan a game for being too difficult. It says something about me as a gamer that maybe I’m not prepared to accept just yet, but I think I’m going to have to. I’ve always been a bit odd when it comes to video games. I love them, I play a lot of [...]


Comments and CSS Issues

• Friday, February 17th, 2006 • 2 Comments

So I’ve added comments in, but no links yet. Why? Because Single Post pages are fucked up. I thought it was perhaps the comments code, but I removed it and the pages were still fucked up. I actually uploaded the basic index simple to the single post page, and, well, it still fucks up.

So what’s [...]


Selling Out

• Friday, February 17th, 2006 • No Comments

Those of you not using AdBlock (you morons) might have noticed that I’m running Google Ads again. I ran AdSense in the past but never thought I made any money using it, so imagine my surprise when I loaded up my AdSense account and saw that I have $13 laying in there. That’s, well, amazing. [...]


On Writing About Writing

• Thursday, February 16th, 2006 • No Comments

There’s a venomous post over at Blogcritics that spends its time completely bashing John Scalzi’s Writing Tips for Non-Writers. It’s called One Simple Rule for Improving Your Writing. What’s that one rule? “Don’t listen to John Scalzi.”

Now, I have a flare for flaming people, but that is downright harsh. I’m pretty sure I put Scalzi’s [...]


New Design

• Thursday, February 16th, 2006 • No Comments

New design. Still working out some of the kinks and wordpressing it up. No comments yet. Maybe, maybe not will implement them. No one uses them for anything but to flame me anyway. ;( So emo…


Late Nights

• Wednesday, February 15th, 2006 • No Comments

I added a calendar in the hopes of using LiveCalendar, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work. The Javascript it adds to the header is there. Everything is there, aside from the working part. Kind of sucks.

I decided to add a calendar back into the design due to the lack of any sort of yearly [...]


Philip K. Dick Goes Missing

• Monday, February 13th, 2006 • No Comments

Apparently the android built to replicate Philip K. Dick has gone missing. This is slightly funny, but it also sucks gigantic balls. Still, slightly funny. I can see it now, a Philip K. Dick android, stomping slowly across the land, quoting lines from A Scanner Darkly, Ubik, and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch to [...]
