A few weeks back, I found out that SendStation was giving away Firewire PocketDocks for the cost of shipping. The PocketDock is a little widget that restores functionality that Apple removed from the 3rd gen and later iPods, allowing you to use any old Firewire or USB cable (depending on which dock you get) to [...]

“This means something. This is important.”
Thanks to the magic of Javascript, I now have randomly switching header images at the top of the page. There are only a couple of images at the moment, but I’ll be adding more in the future, promise. If you’re still seeing the waterfall, you can reload the page until you see the new one. [...]
I’m glad I know that now.
There’s been a lot of digital ink spilled lately about Wikipedia, its accuracy, agenda, and the general quality of the articles contained therein. I have mixed feelings on the topic, but I would like to relate the following. I was looking for information on Jupiter’s moons (because I do this sort of thing), and while [...]

I’ve been playing through Space Quest 1. It’s… refreshing. It’s the first game in a while that I’ve actually looked forward to going [...]
It tastes grate!
I stumbled upon SpaceQuest.net the other day. They have all of the old Space Quest games available for download, along with scans of all the manuals, box art, and other cool stuff. I’m not sure why I hadn’t discovered this before; it says it’s been online since ’98. For those unfamiliar, Space Quest was one [...]
Yee-haw.
On Saturday night, I went to a combine demolition derby in northern Ohio. Yup, you read that right. Combines, mud, and twisted metal. Kind of like the ne plus ultra of redneck entertainment. (sorry about the blurriness, there wasn’t a lot of light for action shots) The whole night, I kept thinking that somebody should [...]
