I’m giving Heroes one more chance
The best storyline possible to write is that of an ordinary person put into an extraordinary situation. The original episodes of Heroes nailed that idea. There was the cheerleader who couldn’t get hurt, the congressman who discovered he could fly, and the geek who could bend space and time. All of these people didn’t know [...]
Poverty in the New Economy
Today is Blog Action Day, a day where thousands of blogs turn the focus to poverty. Poverty is a disease that, according to Bono, is completely curable. Organizations like Bono’s One Campaign have been trying to elevate or eliminate poverty for years now. Global poverty, people living on less than a dollar or so a [...]
Did the Writers Strike Make Writers Worse?
The WGA writers strike seems like so long ago but it seems we might still be feeling it’s effects. Since the new television season has started, it seems the quality of the writing has diminished after taking a half season off. I’ve watched three shows so far this season and all of them have had [...]

How Genius is Genius?
Today Apple made some waves and refreshed all of their iPods and dropped iTunes 8 onto the intertubes. Considering none of the “announcements” were surprises due to Apple’s new lack of leak plugs, I was ready to try out the Genius feature before I knew that I could. Did you follow that? I hope so [...]
PAX 08: The Remembering
This past holiday weekend I traveled to Seattle with my good friend Mike to attend the annual Penny Arcade Expo. Penny Arcade is a trice-weekly web comic about video games and their surrounding universe. Started out of a passion for games, Penny Arcade has risen to a point where it runs a multi-million dollar charity, [...]
End of the Journey
Well, here we are, the end of the journey. It’s been 31 days since I started the Blog-O-Rama Challenge and it’s finally come to an end. As crazy as it sounds, there was something posted every single day in the month of August. Sure, everything (and I do mean everything) was written at least a [...]
Seattle is a Strange Land
So I’m here, at PAX, and after spending about 24 hours in Seattle I’ve noticed a few things. Namely, this is a strange place.
The strangest thing, and the hardest to get over, is the fact that it’s three hours behind the East Coast. It feels like living in the past actually. When I turned on [...]
An Award and an Answer
The other day I noticed that fellow blogger and Twitterer Oh My Seven decided that I deserved this sweet little token of appreciation:
Yeah, it’s pretty cool. Now, after reading her blog post a second time — it was all about me the first time — I realized that Seven had given it to three bloggers [...]
All Screened Out
Technology seems to be everywhere these days and definitely permeates my life. In fact, it is so intertwined with my life that I spend almost every waking moment staring at a screen of some sort. I mean, in the morning I check email and RSS feeds while eating breakfast, then it’s off to work where [...]
Why is GMail still in beta?
I don’t really understand why GMail is still considered a beta application.
Years ago when I first joined GMail — right at the point where people were selling invites on eBay — it made sense as a beta. New members were limited by the number of invites that Google gave out, servers were being tested (I [...]
