I posted the movie poster to the new Indiana Jones movie last month, but now I’ve got something even better. LEGO Indiana Jones. Oh yeah. Four sets. And yes, there’s a LEGO Ark of the Covenant. But wait—it gets even better: LEGO Indiana Jones: The Video Game. Holy. Crap. Want.

I finally broke down and have been checking out a couple of Web 2.0 apps the past few days. Sooner or later I’ll catch up and be trendy. Maybe. twitter Okay, so what’s the big deal exactly? I guess it’s kind of like micro-blogging, which seems interesting. You can use the service on your cell… Continue reading twitter, anywhere.fm

This is another of the (few) completed stories I’ve written. It goes way back… to the first creative writing course I took in college… about 16 years ago or so. It’s been ages since I’ve looked at it, but I can tell you it’s rough, not very polished. I remember being inspired by Stephen King… Continue reading Fiction: The Blue Seagull (complete)

As seen on Slashdot: Dreams Actually Virtual Reality Threat Simulation? (Follow through; it’s trippy.) I knew there was a reason I was dreaming about [insert sufficiently goofy dream topic here]!

I just flipped the switch on the new design for the site, and very surprisingly, things mostly went off without a hitch. There’s still some unfinished things I need to, uh, finish, and I haven’t ported the design over to all the pages in the site yet… so you’ll still see the old green layout… Continue reading Flipped the switch

The first post of 2008! Hope everyone’s having a good holiday and stayed safe last night. Not much going on today, just a relaxing day off… aside from some blogging (and playing around with the new design for this site), I’ll just kick back with a book and maybe some video games. New Year’s resolutions?… Continue reading Happy New Year!

Over the year I’ve seen a number of domain names that I was interested in get picked up by someone else and often wondered what’s to stop someone or some bot (perhaps at the whois/registrar site itself) from scanning people’s searches for domain names and registering them. After all, those searches at minimum appear in… Continue reading Domian name paranoia

I promised to post fiction and get this blog "revitalized". I will! I’m working on it! It just got busy during the holiday time, as it tends to do. Part of that revitalization is redesigning the site, cutting out the needless stuff and going with a more minimal design. Really minimal. Basically I want to… Continue reading There’s more coming

First there was a full moon on my birthday and then there was a fireball on Christmas Eve. (Wish I’d seen that.) I hope everyone’s Christmas was nearly as eventful. Merry Christmas!
