Picking which songs go into a game like Guitar Hero must be hard. I’ve been playing it for the past week and it’s been super fantastic. I do love the game – it’s tons of fun…but some of these songs are really getting on my nerves. I haven’t even heard most of the songs in…

Well I’m back from the DMV. That was incredibly easy and pleasant. I was in and out in fifteen minutes. I checked in, took a number, and got called up two minutes later. They took a new picture, thumbprint, and I was done! They’ll mail me my renewed license in one to two weeks. Let…

I get to go to the DMV tomorrow! My license expires in three months and I just need to renew it. California won’t let you renew by mail three times in a row, and this is my third time! They’re going to fingerprint me again AND take my picture again. Then they’ll put my new…

My morals are weak. I had fully planned to boycott Guitar Hero II until someone with some sense decided to make a wireless guitar. Then last night Tammy decided she wanted it. If life has taught me anything, it’s that when your girl tells you to buy a video game or anything electronic you get…

This is a rangpur lime: This is what happens when Tony Sinclair travels to the ends of the earth in search of “cocktail perfection”: When I first caught wind of this new discovery I made it my mission to track down a bottle and last night I gave it a try. It’s pretty great. Very…

At the north pole of Saturn you’ll find this: It’s a perfect hexagon composed of nothing more than swirling gases. That in itself is pretty strange. But check out NASA’s press release which also includes an animation of the swirling. Look closely at the animation. Closely. There is a distinct triangle within the hexagon, and…

It would seem my victory over the Mythic Dawn and Lord Dagon was short-lived. A portal to the Realm of Sheogorath has opened near Bravil and I need to investigate! Today Bethesda released the first true expansion pack for Oblivion, called The Shivering Isles. It’s 1/4 the size of the original game and adds something…

Huell Howser is my hero. Maybe you’ve seen him on TV. His ‘traveling across California’ documentaries air on California PBS stations all the time. He basically has made a career of traveling up and down California touring and taking in all the things this great state has to offer. Huell’s got a very distinct interviewing…

I think HAM radio has a limited future. See there’s this thing we’ve got nowadays called the Internet, and it lets people type or talk to each other from around the world! I know that HAM radio as it exists today will be gone in 30 years. You know how I know? Because if you…

Last night I hit a milestone in Oblivion. I got all 50 achievements! I am DONE! It only took me 103 hours of playing over the course of a year, but I did it. I’m the Champion of Cyrodill, Baby. This accomplishment represents my new approach to video game playing: Buy less games – and…
