  • Uninterested In Intelligence

    I watch a lot of TV. While I enjoyed the first 5 seasons of Sons of Anarchy, this last season ended with me wondering if I will even bother with season 7. With SoA over, I needed something else to watch. Since I tend to watch more cop shows than any other genre, I decided… Continue reading

  • Mobile Terabytes

    As I mentioned in my Build A Geek-Army Knife post, I love hard drive space. The more I have, the happier I am. One thing that bothers me though is the lack of space Smartphones and tablets come with — usually around 64GB or less. After the operating system and apps, the remaining space for… Continue reading

  • Life Is An Attitude – Never Give Up!

    Life Is An Attitude – Never Give Up!

    I organized my first LAN party back in 2002 and have volunteered countless hours in the fundraising efforts  of the Idaho Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation. I even organized and promoted my first nerdcore concert back in 2011, and being a nerdcore promoter is ultimately my goal for the future. So when I finally… Continue reading

  • Cut The Wires

    Cut The Wires

    For the last couple of years, I have happily used the SteelSeries 5H v2 headset. Whether it’s gaming, watching movies or just listening to music, the 5H v2 has served me well. Unfortunately, I have noticed that my non-stop use has started to degrade them, and on occasion, mostly during heavy bass, I hear a… Continue reading

    Uuugh, Hard Copy

    Typically, I don’t write blog posts on political or hacktivist topics. However, I recently came across an article that actually managed to make me laugh out loud. Newly released court documents show Ladar Levison, founder of secure email service Lavabit, once used by NSA leaker Edward Snowden, has been fined $10,000 for failing to give… Continue reading

    Review: The Blacklist

    Like most people, I am a fan of America’s past time. No I’m not talking about baseball. Does anybody actually watch baseball anymore? But I digress. The past time I am talking about happens to be planting my ass in front of the TV. Now that this Fall’s offering is finally upon us, I thought… Continue reading

    “It’s Like Perfect”

    For the first few years of my life, I had no interest in sports. I was growing up in the 80s with hemophilia. Back then, a sprained ankle or knee injury meant an ER visit, possibly an extended stay in the hospital. But for me at least, that all changed in 1985 when one of… Continue reading

  • Review: NCAA Football 10

    Review: NCAA Football 10

    As a long time fan of Electronic Art’s Madden football games, I have yet to be impressed with their NCAA franchise. From the get go I was thoroughly impressed with this years offering of NCAA Football. The graphics were the first thing on my list of many that I enjoyed. The graphics in NCAA 10 are… Continue reading

  • Review: Madden NFL 10

    Review: Madden NFL 10

    Well it’s been over a month since Madden NFL 10 was released and I am finally sitting down to write the review. Why has it taken me so long? Because I am more impressed with NCAA Football 10 and find myself going back to it instead of Madden. As I stated in my review of… Continue reading

  • Review: G500 Gaming Mouse

    True, I did smack Jero upside the head with the Gigabyte GM-M8000, that doesn’t mean he had to return the favor with the Logitech G500. On the other hand, it was nice to see that I got to try a new mouse and stop using the old ball-and-chain that I’ve been using for the last… Continue reading
