What do you do to entertain yourself?
Gaming
Favorite music, movies, books, shows, artists, games, people, events, hobbies, etc.?
I really love rock-alternative as a music genre though blues will always have a place in my iPod. DragonLance and Lord of the Rings dominate my book collection while writers like William Gibson will have always been great writers.

My artistic tastes vary however I support and enjoy the art of Jeffrey Lipsky aka Filthy Fluno. His work adorns my office walls.

My hobbies include gaming, writing, reading, and chain mail making. Yes, that last one is a bit unusual but it is fun.

That New Puppy Smell

Posted on February 4, 2009 at 1:36pm 2 Comments

New Puppy

A new puppy smells nothing like a new car, but given enough trips they start to smell the same. The photo you see was taken today as I made my weekly trip to the local Petco for hamster supplies. The Elgin Humane Society had their sweetest dogs outside the front doors next to the Girl Scouts selling their cookies. Between the adorable dogs and the smiling… Continue

Inkheart Game for the DS Reviewed

Posted on January 24, 2009 at 2:30pm 0 Comments

Though the Inkheart the game is only loosely based on the movie, it appears the game is getting the same sort of grief from gaming reviewers as the movie is receiving from critics. It is refreshing to see an old Sierra Online style game on the newer Nintendo DS platform, though it doesn't appear to have captured the imagination as one would expect from an adventure… Continue

Geek Sauce

My father once told me, "Son, if you want to know the easy way to win a woman's heart, learn how to cook one thing very well and cook it on an important date." This advice was quite true, and has proven itself time and time again. His special recipe is a lasagna that weighs in at between ten and fifteen pounds depending on how big the pan is. I learned how he makes it, but decided that this would not be my special recipe. I thought long and hard about how exactly I would win a woman's heart… Continue

Shaiya Online Falls Short

Posted on January 8, 2009 at 3:30pm 1 Comment





Today we’re taking a look at Shaiya Online. It’s a 3D Fantasy MMORPG and it’s absolutely free to download and play. This makes it an instant hit among frugal geeks, so we’re taking a close look as to how it compares to other MMOs of its class.



Download and sign up is forward and to the point. There isn’t a lot of hassle or unwanted hurdles to jump over to get your account set up. Once downloaded, the installation was… Continue

Hi Matt, thanks for the friend add. I like people who like animals. I read the one where you got Timmy, now the puppy.

Not sure if you would agree with this, but over the years I have learned not to trust anyone who dislikes animals. I don't mean someone who is afraid of them for some reason. I mean a person who hates/dislikes animals.
