Teakettles, Vampires, and Anti-WSYIWYG

This is the ‘manic’ stage of my bipolarity. Despite dealing with (being bipolar) for more than half my life, that word still looks silly to me. Nonsensical. Still, there it is, and there I am. If you’ve followed my blogging for more than six months, you might be able to [...]

Championship rings be damned

I want Steelers fans to read this article.

Next year when Atlanta is struggling with a sub-par record we can talk.
Nice job on throwing Big Ben under the bus (pun intended) as well.
Quoted for effect, “…quarterback on a loaded Pittsburgh team…”
Please remind me the last time the Atlanta “dog fighting” Falcons won a championship. [...]

Chinese Democracy – Guns n’ Roses

More like a Chinese fire drill, I’m not impressed. Thirteen years, countless line-up changes, and this is what you have to show for it, Axl? It’s not all bad; there are several songs worth taking a listen to. However, most of the album sounds like 80’s hair music. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong here, [...]

Oh Em… Ee?

In case you haven’t heard……….. there’s this whole “TWILIGHT INSANITY”. Apparently Robert Pattinson is the man of the moment.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s very nice to look at, but he is an actor. An actor! You remember Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies? Yeah. That guy. [...]

To DK or not to DK…

That is the question. With the launch of WotLK a new class has entered the fray. Part Paladin, part Warlock, all bad mamma-jamma, the Death Knight.The DK starts out as a level 55 eliminating the process of leveling another ALT. They look cool, have a cool mount, and even travel with a little minion. I’m [...]

Question (Almost) Everything

In case you weren’t sure, the customer is always right.
The problem with that statement is that they are NOT always right, so in a world of customer service, the goal is to gently lead them towards being less wrong.
My least favorite question these days, in all honesty, is “Why is that?” No matter [...]

The 900-pound gorilla just got bigger

Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. released its second expansion for the MMORPG World of Warcraft. The title, Wrath of the Lich King, was launched on November 13. Death Knights, Inscriptions, and level 80, oh my!
Expect servers to be full because the 11 million subscriber base is plowing their way through new content. I personally had to wait [...]

Digital or by hand?

Just wanted to share this quick tidbit:
 
BY HAND.  Yes, really.
Saw that a bit ago, browsing through an illustration (click photo for link) and was quite impressed.  I’d like to think he free-handed it, first sketching lightly, eraser crumbs everywhere.  After a general outline, a sharpie would have been used to embolden all the arcs, and [...]

Chrome Digitalis

This is old news, but…
http://www.randomwire.com/2008/09/01/google-creates-a-browser/
Google created a browser called Chrome and presented it in comic form.
See full details here: http://blogoscoped.com/google-chrome/
Since my interests now have gone back to the tech/social-networking side of things, this is an interesting read for me. I have to wonder what the sad face means (haven’t really delved in fully [...]

And Another Thing

So, yeah, some of you are sad that Obama won, but hey – at least it’s balanced out by the fact that all those pesky gays won’t be getting married anytime soon and wrecking your traditional lives with all their wedding festivities. Sorry, no champagne for you!
Here is the list of all of the organizations, [...]
