Calling all Herd members!
Are you suffering from the winter blues? Do you have any idle time that you just don't know what to do with? Tired of getting dragged by your better half to go Christmas shopping for some nice ribbon to put around the presents?
Have I got something for you!
You can come and......
Wait for it..... Read more
1:55 - "Critical Mission Failure"
Well this could mean just about anything...
Commodore 64 Turns 25
I was just reading on CNN that the C64 is celebrating its 25th birthday this year. This was the second computer I ever owned, a huge increase from the Vic20 that I had.
The C64 started me playing video games, I remember taping an entire game of Video golf I played with a friend at University, and playing the 1986 Olympics against what seemed like most of the Dorm floor.
I enjoyed my C64. And I'd like to thank Frank W, who gave me my first Vic20 and C64. He worked for Commodore at the time. I found out that he died earlier this week. He will be missed. Read more
Vegas
Having been to Vegas I will now need to get a game of R6V online. To see how things look in comparison. Vegas had lots of good places to hide. And to spend money of course. But the best sniping was at Hoover Dam.
A fun quiz anyone?
Just came across this neat quiz for those who are geared towards computers.

I scored 10/10. Not bad.
Heroes: Powerless
They should have called this one "Cleanup". Read more
Alive and well in Boulder, Colorado
So, I am here for my first day of work. I got in late Monday and used yesterday to do things like get a bank account and a SIM card for my Treo. Neither of these things were easy. I had nice people helping me, but the computer systems in both places had real issues with a Canadian wanting their services. So the nice people had to lie to their computer systems to get me what I wanted. At least they did it. Apparently there is a new town in Colorado called Kars. Can't imagine why. Read more
Pride
You do not know pride until you see your 27 month old son hold up a action figure in dark green MJOLNIR armor and declare clearly "Master Chief!"
That's my boy! Although we do have to work on his Banshee piloting skills.
Heroes ... season finale ... Powerless?
Well this is just going to be a prediction (and by predictions I mean my wishlist) of what I hope will happen in this season finale episode.
1) I hope Sylvar dies ... again.
2) I hope CopyCat either does one of two things. First gets killed, or second, goes drunken master on those thugs asses.
3) Going back to point 1) I hope Sylar kills Maya before he himself dies.
4) Molly Walker gets someone to build her Cerebro.
5) Elle and Claire mudwrestling of course.
6) Oh oh oh, almost forgot. West must also die, a horrible horrible death (flies into a jet engine perhaps?) Read more
There's still time
For those of you who haven't yet decided what to get me for Christmas, may I suggest this little Xbox 360 Accessory Kit? It's on sale for $119 (that's $65 off) TODAY ONLY during Dell's Days of Deals. Includes an Xbox Live Vision camera, keyboard thingy that connects to your controller, 12 month Live Gold card, and 2800 Microsoft points.
If you've already bought me one of the above, then you can still get me a points card to go with it.
Mass Effect has been weighing on me
I know Mass Effect is an RPG and that I don't normally play RPGs.
But this one is weighing on me. It's reviewing well (very). Its SciFi based story is extremely well written and everywhere I turn its being written of or spoke of. Read more
Hello Lincoln, Nebraska!!!!
I know that personally Lincoln, Nebraska means nothing to me. Until yesterday that is. Stormblade left a phone message yesterday from Lincoln, Nebraska. Although, to be accurate, Lincoln, Nebraska didn't mean anything to me until today, when I actually listened to the message. Read more
