Always Pay Up

Published by under Personal

In a silly mistake, I forgot to pay the cable bill on time and late Thursday night, Charter disabled my Internet. Initially, I didn’t know about the mistake about the bill. I had thought my modem died or something, so I even went out and bought a new one. Fat load a good that would […]

Regenerative Medicine

Published by under Other

Every now and again something actually interesting gets dug to the top of Digg.com. A link to a CBS News segment from a recent broadcast caught my attention. I don’t know about you, but I’m interested in this sort of thing. Regenerative medicine is likely going to get a lot more research money in the […]

South Beloit Park Walk

Published by under Personal

Instead of my typical walking on a treadmill at the local gym, I decided to walk along a bicycle path the city has in the park. Since the path goes over a small lake, it’s impossible to see how far it goes on for until you actually walk it. I would estimate the section I […]

Forum Software

Published by under Personal,Site

A while back I mentioned trying to choose which forum software to install on one of my fan sites. Well, I decided to go with MyBB for the time being. The interface is simple but it appears to have everything I need in a forum. Installation went nicely. I didn’t find one hiccup in that […]

Xbox 360 VGA HD Adapter

Published by under Gaming

I just blogged about this the other day: Since the only TV I have is a small 19″ SDTV, I decided to get one of those VGA connectors so I can connect my 360 to my Dell 20″ LCD. The size difference won’t be noticeable, but the Widescreen change will. I’ve noticed that the text […]

Slow Month at IGN

Published by under Personal

It seems things are going to be slowing down for me at IGN TV for the month of March. I had kept pretty busy because I had several shows to review (Monk, MythBusters, and House) over the past couple of months, but they’re all on a break right now. For March, the only show I’m […]

The Onion Movie

Published by under Movies & TV

The other day I posted a video from The Onion about the 2008 election, and it turns out that they’re doing a movie now. The trailer has been released and it is hilarious. The Onion began as kind of a MidWest answer to National Lampoon at the University of Wisconsin, and coming from the MidWest, […]

EA Land

Published by under Gaming

One of the first guides I did for IGN was for The Sims Online. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game, but I didn’t continue the subscription after the first month was up because I just couldn’t afford it at the time. Some time has passed and I was wondering how the game was doing and […]

Iron Man Trailer

Published by under Movies & TV

I think it was last week that I caught the trailer for the new Iron Man film on TV. It wasn’t long after that that the trailer was put on the ‘net. The main actor is Robert Downey Jr., who’s playing Tony Stark, of course. When I initially heard this was the case, I checked […]
