Isn’t Life Strange?

No other operating system has been criticized like Microsoft’s Windows Vista.  Much of it is well-deserved, as Microsoft’s "Upgradable to Windows Vista" fiasco irritated a lot of people who shelled out thousands of dollars on hardware only to find out that the upgrade wasn’t as seamless as they were led to believe. 
Ever since Vista’s […]

Did anyone know there was a sequel to Tron in the works? 
Check out a tiny bootlegged teaser over at Gizmodo.

Thanks again to my friend Dave, who has shocked the blogosphere by posting not one, but TWO blog entries over the past weekend, I caught the free showings of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog before it was pulled from the net late last night. 
The forty-minute musical is a creation of Joss Whedon, creator of television […]

Thanks to my friend Dave, who blogs at DeckMonster.com (not that anyone would know it lately!), I am now addicted to another toy on the Internet. 
Dave has introduced me to many good things over the years, including TiVo, the music of Barenaked Ladies, Thai food, "burritos as big as your head", NetVibes, more video […]

I decided that I would go ahead and join Twitter. For those of you who don’t know anything about it, Twitter is sort of the text message equivalent of blogging. When you twitter, you are limited to very short messages - I’ll explain more later.
I will probably end up adding […]

The Times Online has an article on a strange Internet phenomenon called Rickrolling.  I had never heard of it, although lately I have become aware of an increased interest in Rick Astley’s video for his hit song "Never Gonna Give You Up". 
IT began with a duck. A while ago contributors to an anarchic internet […]
