Dream Theater Rocks Albany

Dream Theater Rocks Albany

It was a full day of guitar for me. First, I played guitar for my church (Terra Nova) in our morning service. Then I went to the John Petrucci clinic that afternoon. And I JUST got back from the Dream Theater concert in downtown Albany. I have to say it was a good day. The [...]

John Petrucci in Albany

John Petrucci in Albany

John Petrucci, a guitar master and prog-rock genius playing for the band Dream Theater, will be giving a clinic in Albany, NY this weekend while his band is in town doing a show… a show which I have tickets to. The clinic will be at Trick Shot Billiards [map] – right behind Parkway Music – [...]

Compassion, Poverty, and Politics

Compassion, Poverty, and Politics

The following is a discussion snippet from Compassion International’s blog. They recently had a blog post debating transparency versus marketing with respect to the best direction for the content of their blog. During the conversation I ran into Ashleigh, a 21-yr-old schoolgirl who seemed full of inexperience and strong opinions. For example, she touted environmental [...]

A Demonstration on Pride (updated)

A Demonstration on Pride (updated)

In my church we’ve been doing a series on the 7 deadly sins. Today’s sermon was on pride, and we opened with a video presentation that included this YouTube clip here of a girl upset because her father just gave her a car that was red, and she REALLY wanted blue. Her reaction is priceless, [...]

Legends of Hiro

Legends of Hiro

Legends of Hiro (created by Visual Noise) is a Japanese-style RPG (that’s role-playing game, not rocket-propelled grenade) in the vein of a bazillion other games, like Final Fantasy. This game is actually fairly involved, has some crudeness to it (you’ve been warned) and will help kill time during your boring classes. This Flash file is [...]

Mini-Putt

Mini-Putt

Ahh… I have fond memories of playing every mini-golf course in my hometown. I loved it – loved everything about it – but probably most liked that I was actually GOOD at it even as a youngster. Well here’s a little Flash goodie aptly named Mini-Putt that brings a little mini-golf to your browser. It’s [...]

Sky Chopper

Sky Chopper

Sky Chopper is a fun side-scrolling shoot-em-up by Crazy Monkey Games (gotta love that name). There’s lots of fast action, tough enemies, and plentiful power-ups. This game almost reminds me a little of Chopper Command on steroids. Ahh… the good ‘ole days. *sigh* Just a note – this file is large (>2MB) so you school [...]

Can you hear my bullets now?

Can you hear my bullets now?

Ahh… the good ole’ call-your-parents-before-a-firefight gag. That one never gets old. In fact, I think I’m going to start ending all my phone conversations with “Incoming! RPG! _click_”.

‘Iron Man’ movie’s Stark Industries is clearly a spoof of Lockheed Martin

‘Iron Man’ movie’s Stark Industries is clearly a spoof of Lockheed Martin

I have received enough feedback about my previous Iron Man post relating to the connection I drew (rather effortlessly, let’s admit) between Stark Industries and Lockheed Martin that I wanted to post about it individually. And speaking of… did anybody besides me notice that Stark Industries was a completely un-subtle spoof of Lockheed Martin Corporation, [...]
