Hello Moto
I finally got my RAZRv3 phone to connect via Linux. It’s a good feeling that I got it to work, but it’s a bad feeling that I paid that $25 for the Windows version of this that sucks like no other.
Moto4lin is pretty cool as I get to see everything on the phone, even system [...]
Burning Crusade
Well, as of yesterday at 11:47PM-ish, my Undead Rogue finally hit 60. Booyah. Of course, gameplay is far from over as I get to shift from leveling to item collection, reputation gaining, and the like.
Now feast your eyes on what the WoW Expansion Pack will have in store for us…
So you may have heard about [...]
Test of Immunity
My plans for this holiday season were simple:
Don’t get sick.
For the past 5 years or so, I’ve always end up with some kind of cold or sickness right around the holiday season. The only real exclusion to this was last year, but I broke my elbow so we’ll count that all the same.
This year I [...]
Blog Spam
This site hosts more than just my blog. It hosts RJ’s blog, Frank’s blog, Jon’s (now deprecated) blog, Steve’s blog, and Sam’s blog. This will now be changing, as the web stats for October show that there has been way too much referrer spam by the other blogs on this site. Therefore the following blogs [...]

I have a 10-day guest pass for free. If you want to take a stab at playing, and see why everyone loves this game, you’re more than welcome to start.
The [...]
Concept Buzzer I
I have created the proof-of-concept “Concept Buzzer.” Basically it’s a little buzzer that goes off whenever a simple common-sense concept has been discovered or realized by the general public.
Today’s Concept Buzzer Alert: People discovering the concept of not living in harm’s way (e.g. right-smack-dab in the middle of a hurricane-prone area).
I heard on the news [...]

Homer becomes Omar for Arab makeover of Simpsons
With Omar as Homer, and Badr substituted for Bart, The Simpsons is now playing on Arab television.
But in order not to risk offending an Arab audience, the characters in Al Shamshoon, as the show is now called, have modified some of their most distinguishable traits.
Omar may look the same as in the series that debuted [...]

On Shite: The Conclusion
On Saturday I got a call from someone named Tim (who, by the way, spoke fluent English) who said he could be out Monday to repair my laptop. “Between 1 and 4″ was my laptop’s scheduled appointment.
Monday came and not Tim came early.
Jeff, another guy who works at this place, came at noon and said [...]
On-Shite
My trusty laptop has been through some tough times. Through rain, through snow, through spotty ice patches on the driveway where one technically could slip and fall on the laptop and his elbow and break it (the elbow, that is). Through all of these harsh times, it still stands strong, still works for the most [...]
