For roughly the last fifteen years, my family has put in a garden. For a while, it slowly got smaller, but in the past few years, we have expanded it to its largest size. Putting in a garden is a lot of hard work, let me tell you. But having a tiller is a big […]

I’ve currently got two Dell computers on my desk and I’m about to replace the older one with a new machine. I’ve built my own computers in the past, but I’ve been very happy with the two Dells that I’ve received and really don’t enjoy building my own. The odds of getting a component that […]

I’ve seen a lot of headlines about Windows Vista and XP on sites like digg lately. Vista isn’t being purchased by businesses because of drivers, slowness of machines, memory consumption, etc, and some people seem to think that Vista is doomed. I just don’t see MS giving up on the OS anytime soon. As bloated […]

I have been slacking off on my workouts. I haven’t attended the gym in a while now and I can feel it. This morning, I hit the gym and it didn’t take long before I was exhausted. My legs are still about as strong as they were before I took a break, but my upper […]

When I read about Ogre’s pizza problems yesterday, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. Not only did he get a bad pizza, but his stone broke in the oven. That’s just bad luck. Not to gloat or anything, but I never have these problems because of two reasons. 1) I never buy boxed […]

In a silly mistake, I forgot to pay the cable bill on time and late Thursday night, Charter disabled my Internet. Initially, I didn’t know about the mistake about the bill. I had thought my modem died or something, so I even went out and bought a new one. Fat load a good that would […]

Instead of my typical walking on a treadmill at the local gym, I decided to walk along a bicycle path the city has in the park. Since the path goes over a small lake, it’s impossible to see how far it goes on for until you actually walk it. I would estimate the section I […]

A while back I mentioned trying to choose which forum software to install on one of my fan sites. Well, I decided to go with MyBB for the time being. The interface is simple but it appears to have everything I need in a forum. Installation went nicely. I didn’t find one hiccup in that […]

It seems things are going to be slowing down for me at IGN TV for the month of March. I had kept pretty busy because I had several shows to review (Monk, MythBusters, and House) over the past couple of months, but they’re all on a break right now. For March, the only show I’m […]

Just under a year ago I installed the original RollerCoaster Tycoon on my PC. I hadn’t had it installed since I closed down RCT Station a few years ago. When you go a long time without playing a favorite game, it’s only natural to go back to it at some point. Well, since I can’t […]
