Nintendo Wii Christmas Party

We had our Christmas Party two nights again, and it was a friggin’ blast. The alcohol and food kept flowing, and everybody had one hell of a great time.
On the menu this year were some returning favorites and new classics (that stuffed winter squash went fast, and everyone tried to take home at least one […]

A Hard Days Night

Today was hectic … and tomorrow is shaping up to be worse. Let’s not even discuss Sunday. Today I accomplished a lot, starting at 8am and ending at around 5:30pm:
- Bought $250 worth of groceries at Shop-Rite for our Christmas party this Sunday.
- Had to take Mom shopping at the Mall. Oh, what joy.
- Went […]

ATTN: Kevin Rose, Re: Digg Sucks (Part Fünf)

Dear Kevin Rose,
As a long-time member of what has now become known as the Internet I have seen many websites come and go over the past 20 years. Some deserved to die out while others died well before their time. In all of my years I have never seen a website that needed to fail […]

Customer Loyalty Isn’t A Myth

I am a Nintendo fanboy. Well, kind’ve. OK, so I really do like the Nintendo brand, but I’m not a bigot: I know that the PlayStation and Xbox are top-quality consoles.

Rare Christmas Movies

So, I’m in the Christmas spirit. In fact, I’m in the Christmas spirit almost all year round, but as soon as I see Santa on the Thanksgiving day parade (traditionally) it’s officially Christmastime for me! That means: decorations, lights, music, and movies.
But, there are some movies I just can’t find anymore, like ABC’s Claymation […]

To Hell With IRC

Something political happened on WyldRyde the other night (yeah, I’m amazed): a friend of mine had her nickname deregistered and her channel closed. As far as I can tell, the reason this happened, according to her, was that she kicked a user out of her channel under suspicion of being a spambot. Later on, she […]

Diggers Are A Bit Dumb …

There’s a little article on Digg’s gaming page entitled “USA Legalizes Abandonware.” Both the title, summary, and comments on Digg suggest that, thanks to this law, the entire abandonware scene has somehow been legitimized.
Well, I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. The recent law in question does not, in any way, legalize the illegal […]
