I just finished playing Stranglehold, and was fairly impressed. Here is my overly-simplified review of the game.
You may have heard of a couple names from this work: John Woo directed the storyline, and Chow Yun Fat plays the game’s star, Inspector Tequila. As the names suggest, the game plays more like a hit action movie.

Someone on Channel9 linked to a video of a Lexicographer on the subject of Dictionary Evolution. Sure, sounds boring as hell, but it’s actually really funny. If you have sixteen minutes, check it out; Plus, you may learn something.

You know, it’s hard enough to find a wallpaper you like. It’s much harder to find a multiple-monitor wallpaper you like, let alone one in the size and aspect ratio you want. Most of them are 2560×1024 dual-screeners.
I’ve been looking for years, trying to find wallpapers to span my incredibly unusual, constantly-changing desktop configuration. [...]

D wanted to take her kids to Waterworld for one of their birthdays yesterday. The complication, of course, arose when she realized there were two parents on the trip and five kids.

Finally, an image large enough that I could scale it across my eight-foot-wide desktop without much pixelation. I cropped out a 4096×512px area over North America and [...]

As many of you are aware, Japan has one of the hottest street-racing scenes in the world. This is due to a variety of factors as I have witnessed in person: In Japan, cars are much more lightweight due to fewer unneccessary safety devices; cops rarely patrol the highways (at least on Okinawa); citizens are [...]

This HP Flatbed Scanner has been hacked to play Beethoven’s Fur Elise. Play däs video and check it out!

So, I had just parked my car and was walking toward the house when a neighbor said “Nice car”. J hypothesized that the neighbor must have bad eyes, being old, and must have thought it was a Lamborghini. So there I was thinking I have a car that may or may not look like a [...]

One of my computers at home is dedicated to productivity work (i.e. research, development, etc). Generally when I describe the computer to people, they gape in awe or exclaim how crazy I must be. Allow me to provide a brief synopsis for your Googling pleasure.
My main productivity machine started out as a pretty basic system. [...]
