Crazy H2 casemod

28, Nov 2004

Joystiq pointed me towards this nice Half-Life 2 themed casemod. Wow. I wonder if it will look as snazzy when he’s playing Quake 4 or whatever is “next”. But still.

Ooooh, one of the Joystiq writers doesn’t like the Nintendo DS. The stylus control (a wonderful idea) will result in thousands of run-down screens within months. I already notice scrape marks from using the Nintendo stylus. I can only imagine what my nephew’s DS looks like. My guess is something between a 1989 polaroid camera [...]

I took this picture while I was waiting to cross the street the other day after work. It was dark but the camera’s shutter adjusted to make it look much brighter out. I think it created a cool-looking effect.

If you’re familiar with the subservient chicken then you will get the gist of the virtual bartender. Check it out. Be advised, she’s a naughty bartender, and likely not appropriate for work environs.

I thought Eli looked great for a rookie making his debut at quarterback, at home in New York, against one of the top 3 teams in the NFC who have a defense that is predicated on quarterback pressure. Yes, he made some mistakes: he missed some wide-open receivers with passes that just sailed out of [...]

Here it is. I’ll leave it up for a while or until the bandwidth gets silly.

Aging. Gracefully?

19, Nov 2004

Well, I’m getting old. I sit all day in front of a computer and the eyestrain is finally taking it’s toll. I caught a blind spot in my field of vision last week and it freaked me out enough to get me to go to the doctor. Fortunately my eyes aren’t damaged, but they do [...]
