My local news channel is an utter embarrasment

October 15, 2008

I'm local to Nashville, TN and to stay current with regional news and events I read newschannel5.com news via their RSS feed . Naturally I use the best news reader in the world . The problem with newschannel5.com is they do not appear to have any editors on the payroll. In addition to the apparent lack of qualified editorial staff, their writing software does not appear ...

Dear Will Wright, Spore is a huge disappointment

September 11, 2008

Dear EA Games/Maxis/Will Wright, Please explain to me why I can't more easily share Spore with my wife and children? Why can't I install Spore on their personal computers? Why am I limited to three installs? You have made zero accommodations for families with multiple computers. Understand I'm not asking you to let all of us play at the same time on the same licens...

God Hates Racists.. Obama '08

September 10, 2008

I made this for some "friends" that I discovered were racists. Then I realized there were probably many more who needed to see it as well. digg_url = 'http://digg.com/political_opinion/God_Hates_Racists_Obama_08';

Spore Buyer's Remorse

September 9, 2008

I bought Spore on release day, the "Galactic Edition" no less. I can't begin to describe to you how unimpressed I am. That's $80, down the drain. The game is incredibly simplistic compared to all the hype I've heard/read the past couple of years. It's not challenging at all. You're done with stage one in about 20 minutes. Stage two is about an hour, stage 3 is a couple of...

Slayer's "Cult" Religion

Updated: August 21, 2008May 25, 2007

These lyrics are exactly why Slayer is my favorite band: http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/slayer/cult.html Allow me to describe a few points of interest: Oppression is the holy law In God I distrust In time His monuments will fall Like ashes to dust Is war and greed the masters plan? The bible's where it all began Its propaganda sells despair ...

The Planet.. worst customer service.

July 15, 2008

Back in early May the co-lo server I have at The Planet experienced multiple outages over a several day period. I filed tickets with them every time an outage occured. After a few days had passed and everything cleared up, I filed a new ticket asking for some billing consideration for all the outages the previous week. After filing the ticket I was told by the support person who...
