In late October of 2005 I decided that no self-respecting holder of a Master of Science in Information Systems should be without a website. So I started a blog right here on negative99.com.
It’s been six full months now that April is over. Not that numbers mean much, but here’s a little breakdown (stats [...]
I was at a funeral two days ago. I was reminded of the idiots who protest at the funerals of fallen American soldiers that I blogged about recently. It hit me at one point… during the the solemnity and grief of the moment, as family members around me were crying and consoling each [...]
I know what you’ll be thinking. You’ll be thinking that this game is too easy… and that there must be something more. Nope. There’s nothing more to it. It’s really that easy… at first. I guarantee you before the end you’ll know exactly how a 32-core Cray feels [...]

The conspiracy theorists… they’re everywhere.

I have a treat for you today. This game is called Alien Homonid and it has a bit of history behind it. [wikipedia] This game was written in Flash by Tom Fulp who runs Newgrounds.com (a great site that you should visit but you’ll need to be careful because the ads [...]
Many of you know I play guitar. As such I have a particular fancy for the so-called guitar solo, also widely known as the “electric” guitar solo. This beauty was a staple of 80’s hair metal, but it’s musical role is a device that transcends all styles and genres of music.
