Remember Why You’re Free

Remember Why You’re Free

Today is Memorial Day in the US. A day when we remember those who have given their lives in service this great nation.
This day is not “just another day”. Many will tritely dismiss this as an unnecessary formality. Many will claim that they can “honor the fallen” any day they wish and [...]

Reflections on Orlando / Cancun Trip - Part 2

Reflections on Orlando / Cancun Trip - Part 2 // Photography
I had only ever been to Walt Disney World (WDW) as a kid… and we went to Magic Kingdom. What I didn’t realize is present day WDW is the size of a county! This sucker is big… and the grounds were [...]

Frank Reich - Mr. Comeback

Frank Reich - Mr. Comeback

This weekend I got to hear Frank Reich preach an inspirational sermon at one of the good local churches in my area, Grace Fellowship Church. For those who don’t follow football (please don’t identify yourselves as I’m not schooled in counseling) Frank Reich is a former quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and known best [...]

Extreme Makeover finale was in my town!

Extreme Makeover finale was in my town!

Those local to me here in New York’s Capital District already know this (it’s been all over our news)… but tonight’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition 2-hour season finale episode on ABC took place just a few miles from my house here in upstate New York. The “actual” event happened a couple months ago, but [...]

Jerry Falwell, RIP

Jerry Falwell, RIP

Some loved him, and some hated him. But you couldn’t question his commitment to the principles he believed. The majority of attacks on him in life (as well as death) come from people who operate on no moral principles… whom I have no respect for. Only a coward seeks to discredit the [...]

Reflections on Orlando / Cancun Trip - Part 1 // Flight from Albany to Orlando
On the 3-hour flight down to Orlando there was a family with a small girl (probably about 18 months) sitting in front of us. The little girl cried loudly for about two thirds of the flight. That’s two hours! [...]

Xiaoxiao

Xiaoxiao

This game is big (2 MB) just to warn you. It’s called Xiaoxiao, but other than that I know next to nothing about its origin. If anyone knows some Chinese and wants to help out with who authored this file please let me know.
Anyways… this Flash game illustrates some of the basic 3D [...]

Plane Tickets + Resort = Vacation

Plane Tickets + Resort = Vacation

I’m off for a little rest and relaxation. Florida and Mexico await me. I shall consume gluttonous amounts of fresh salsa and guacamole. I shall unashamedly soak up as much UV light as humanly safe. I shall smile as the time passes and the only decision I have to make is [...]

09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0

I like to share supposedly forbidden tidbits. Here was a previous one. This is a new one. 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0. That may not look like much, but it’s the HD-DVD AACS Processing Key number, which would allow someone to crack the copy protection on an HD-DVD.
For those not keeping score at home HD-DVD [...]

Space Invaders

Space Invaders

Here’s another wonderful time-killer and stress remover from the folks over at miniclip.com. This one is an updated and more difficult version of the ‘ole standby, Space Invaders. Similar to the Galaxy Invaders flash game I posted a while ago… but simpler and harder, in my opinion.
