Wincing Shins
The Shins are releasing a new album next year, January 23rd I believe. It shall be called Wincing The Night Away. I just started listening to a pre-release promo of it, so far it’s definitely The Shins, but like all their other albums, I have to let it grow on me, cause once [...]
Currently Listening To VII…
The Decemberists – Picaresque
The Decemberists – The Crane Wife
Released in 2005 and 2006, respectively, these albums are music without needing a gimmick other than just being good-music. No special instrument, no unique guitar player, no crazy front man with a one-of-a-kind voice/accent, nothing of the sort. Just. Good. Songs. Not [...]
About Time
It’s been a while since it showed up, guess it was bound to happen. Wonder how long it will last this time.
Vista-ed In The Arse
From Windows Vista’s EULA:
“The first user of the software may reassign the license to another device one time. If you reassign the license, that other device becomes the ‘licensed device.’”
This is total bull for us geeks who add and remove components from their PC like lice on a monkey. Wonder how many times I’ll [...]

“what’s a linux?”
A very powerful form of birth control.
Bugged Zilla
I use Firefox, Thunderbird, and Sunbird almost religiously. They’re not perfect programs, but they’re worth using if you care about free software (free as in free speech and free beer) and don’t want to get locked-in to a vendor. Plus I credit these programs (along with OpenOffice.org and Gaim) to helping me use [...]
The Manifesto
A Gamers’ Manifesto
If you’re a gamer, definitely read that article. Here are some highlights:
3. Don’t bullshit me about your graphics
How, in 2005, can there still be gamers taken in by EXCLUSIVE SCREENSHOTS of games that are obviously taken from cutscenes and have NO connection with what the actual game will look like? I blame [...]
Triple Hundred
I just viewed the trailer for 300, based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel. 300 is one of my favorites, but strangely enough it doesn’t get enough love in the comic book world. I mean, it isn’t considered bad, it just isn’t considered Frank Miller’s best, which is understandable, he is the man who [...]
Damn Syndrome
Seems like my left knee just doesn’t want to get better. It’s really pissing me off, I need to get back to my running routine soon. My right one got better after two months, this one is just taking its damn sweet time.
