I don’t really talk about my job on the blog, because as a conscientious employee, I’d rather not have the web suddenly associate my employer with all the “fucks” and “shits” that appear in my blog text. Don’t want that. But the game I’ve been working on for four and a half years went live [...]
So I came to a realization that I never, ever boot my desktop PC anymore. Just haven’t done it. So I uninstalled XP, and installed Ubuntu 7.04 earlier today. Wow, has Linux come a long way. Very smooth intro: boot from the CD, and it allows you to explore the OS without installing, but the [...]
Someone needs to blow the Mariners up. Just blow them the hell up. Fire Bavasi, fire Hargrove, fire Pentland, there’s your start. DFA Bloomquist, DFA Sexson. Put Broussard on first. Bring up, I dunno, Morse to sit instead of Bloomquist. Something. Hard to get rid of Vidro, put Raul in at DH, and bring Jones [...]
Dinesh D’Sousa is today’s Biggest Idiot in the World. I thought Jack Thompson was being grossly opportunistic (OK, I still think that), but wow, at least he was comprehensible, if utterly wrong. D’Sousa is just inane.
While Jack Thompson is viciously, hypocritically, sleazily, callously trying to associate this terrible event with his crusade against video games, I am saddened by a different take on this horrible disaster. Thirty-two people, young students and respected faculty, thirty-two people dead because some loser had terrible anger management issues and a giant chip on his [...]
I’ve had this for a while, and I like it. Red Snapper from Tasty Apps. A toolbar button for Safari, it’s simple but does what it does very gracefully: snapshots a webpage, getting the entire page (not just the visible window), as any basic image file type, or as a true PDF. Eight bucks to [...]
Man, that was a stunning game he pitched. It was hard to imagine him beating his opening day performance (eight innings, no runs). But now a 1-hit, complete game shutout, in one of the most hostile ballparks, on what was supposed to be a coronation night for “Dice-K”. King Felix has announced himself.
So I’ve been using Vista for the past month or two: I don’t know exactly, it has felt like a century. But it has been long enough, at any rate, to have some real idea of what it’s like. I’ve been running it on my Macbook Pro, via Boot Camp. Some of my issues have [...]
So, four games snowed out in Cleveland. I know that the baseball press is all over this, but I just have to say something: the MLB front office is stocked full of idiots. Now the M’s will essentially have a meaningless rank in the division all season long, because the MLB tried to schedule northern-clime [...]
And in two games, the M’s have already equalled the entire 2006 season’s win record against the A’s. The M’s are now 2-0. I do not anticipate maintaining this lustrous record, but Bog knows, I wants it to continue. My niece is hysterical: 13 years old, does not know what a strike or a ball [...]
