Virtualization at Home

I’ll try to keep this post readable, but you need to have at least an intermediate knowledge of computers to follow along. A few years ago, people in the tech world started catching onto the benefits of ‘virtual machines’ to help loosen the link between hardware and software. Virtual machines are entire computers […]

Knight Rider’s Back

I’m psyched. I can’t believe its happening, someone actually decided to revive Knight Rider and make a motion picture about Michael Knight. Up until now, Knight Rider has been a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a movie that does not exist. But that’s gonna change now.
Miramax, a loner moviehouse on […]

Ilamor’s Computer Television

A few months ago, Ilamor purchased an LCD television. This television came equipped with VGA input for use as a monitor. Upon hearing this, Ilamor’s mind went wild. For her birthday, Ilamor requested (in lieu of the annual birthday hug) that I turn her television into a computer.
As nebulous as this request […]

Beckham Beckons, Bringing Football to America

Its the international sports story of the year, british mega-celebrity David Beckham decided to accept a contract with the American Major League Soccer team, the Los Angeles Galaxy, and his first game is tomorrow, Saturday, July 21st. Any level minded American man with a shred of sports sense knows that soccer will not make […]

I Got Your Bob Barker Replacement Right Here

Working from home give you the opportunity to really keep in touch with the best things about daytime television, the lives of the days of our lives, the children of all my children, the local technical institute commercials, and best of all, The Price is Right.
I grew up with The Price is Right. I thought […]

Stealing Music

Portable digital media has got the business men and money makers trippin’. They see a huge demand for MP3s and videos, and in trying to satisfy that demand they realize that the product is uncontrollable. Well known and proven methods of manufacturing and distribution are inapplicable to products that are not manifested physically. […]

Blogs on a Plane!

There’re motherf’in blogs on this motherf’in plane!  I got the entire row of seats to myself this morning on a flight from Austin to LA, so I decided to write a bit.  Being on this high-flying job for about two weeks now, its time for me to throw down some opinions/observations/recommendations regarding my in-flight experience.
Fasten […]

The Pro Bowl Makeover

Like clockwork, the NFL never fails to show its ignorance during the first few weeks of the off-season. Of course, I’m talking about the Pro Bowl. Its hard to watch a bunch of men playing a meaningless game of football while trying to avoid injury. Unfortunately, they don’t always succeed; Drew Brees […]

Sloppy Paperwork

My new job requires that I complete a small forest’s worth of paperwork before I can call myself an employee.  The layout and organization of these forms is a bit concerning.  I’m flattered that everyone wants to know my name, but I’m not sure that writing my name 20 times on 20 different forms is […]

Its Better to Exchange than to Receive

I rarely buy people gifts during the holidays.  Its not that I don’t want to buy gifts, but I don’t want to prioritize my gift recipients.  It is not possible to convince others limit their gift recipients to the people closest to them, because that just hurts the feelings of the people who are right […]

The Blood Bank

I’m tired of the blood banks playing the guilt card every time they need blood. I’m not bleeding people, why am I being blamed for the lack of blood in their bags? I don’t like the fact that people are dying and I could indirectly improve their chances of survival. But we […]

Sunday Night Showdown: Global Warming vs. Global Dimming

I know the Media’s got you scared of Global Warming with their rising water levels and killer icebergs attacking New Zealand. Unfortunately, I have no words to ease your worries, because you should be worried. Our years of chugging around SUVs and running the air conditioner “just for the humidity” has finally caught […]
