    Friday Finds – Kung Fu and Carmen Sandiego

    Well, it was a busy week for me, though most of the creative juices were used at the Sabres site I run.  They had a rough week, what can I say?  Still, I got OGT out, and it’s one of my all time favorites, River City Ransom.  Check it out if you haven’t yet.  On…

  • Friday Finds – Spielberg, Lesley Crusher and NaNoWriMo

    Hi all, busy week this week so posting was light.  Missed OGT, which always sucks for me because I love playing these old games.  :D  Here’s my one post of the week: Freaking AMAZING Lord of the Rings LEGO – Just what it says.  SWEET. Other links: A teacher at my son’s school won school…

    Friday Finds – Gingerbread and Satellites

    Hey everybody, hope you had a good week.  I was busy being productive at work (and moving to another building) so the links are light.  Here are this week’s posts: Gingerbread on my LG Optimus S – Got a surprise update this week, and it’s working pretty OK so far. Old Game Tuesday – The…

  • Friday Finds – Robot Octopi and Arctic Airships

    A light week this week, due to the holidays and not being home much. Raising a Reader – Getting boys to read. But that does leave plenty of room for links! Star Wars:  Heir to the Empire 20th Anniversary Edition, a fine gift for the SW geek in your family. A horribly incomplete list of…

    Friday Finds – Psychic Benefits and the Silmarillion

    Hey all, hope you had a good week.  I’ll be out of the loop a bit this weekend, though I might actually be able to do my fantasy football draft (wooo!).  Here are last week’s posts: Old Game Tuesday – Star Trek: Birth of the Federation – BOTF is a solid 4X game, considering the…

    Old Game Tuesday – Star Trek: Birth of the Federation

    Star Trek:  Birth of the Federation (BOTF from here on out) is a turn-based 4X game based in the Star Trek:  The Next Generation universe.  A 4X game, if you are wondering, is a game where the goal is to explore, expand, exploit and exterminate.  You scout and explore territory, where it’s space (as in…

    Friday Finds – Alligator Biodiesel and a Supernova

    Missed a week due to unforseen circumstances, but here are the most recent posts: Movie Review -  Rise of the Planet of the Apes – Long title, good movie. Old Game Tuesday – Star Trek: 25th Anniversary – Star Trek’s best game? Second Class Citizen – They don’t care about us folks that still watch…

  • Old Game Tuesday – Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

    First, a note:  this is the PC game, not the console game of the same name.  Now, as a young science fiction fan growing up, there weren’t that many options out there.  So you were pretty much watching Star Trek, even if you were more of a Star Wars fan.  I believe young me begged…

  • Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)

    I am writing this, in the interest of full disclosure, as a Trekkie who kind of fell away from Star Trek towards the end of Voyager, and missed pretty much all of Enterprise. Seems pretty common, actually, from the guys I went to see the movie with. Word of caution: Here there may be spoilers…

  • Five Things

    With apologies/thanks to Kate at the Willful Caboose: Shut up, Favre. NOW I have an obsessive desire to click spam links before I delete them, even though I know that would just feed into the spammer’s ego. Being a real user of Facebook/Twitter instead of an idle one really helps make the connections. Good job,…

  • No Seriously, Thanks a LOT

    I laughed at that a lot more than I should have, I think. Unfortunately, viewing that led to this showing up in the related vids. (mind scrubbing may be needed afterwards, beware)
