So… 2008 comes to a close in a little over twelve hours now (CST) and while most people will be thrilled to put the bitch that is 2008 to rest I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wouldn’t miss it a little. 2008 was the year where the notion of global warming took a [...]
Okay, maybe the title is a little overboard but let me explain… I apologize for the length before hand, this is definitely me ranting.
Back in June I made a post about how the online video sharing site Vimeo is without a doubt the best user generated video sharing site on the Internet. I wrote a [...]
Well, I’ve finally taken the plunge as a young professional to dip my feet in the cold waters of Wall Street as an amateur day trader. Last week I signed up for an account with SogoTrade and deposited a decent chunk of change to give this whole Wall Street thing [...]
Yesterday my fellow Americans and I elected Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America. Since the results came in I’ve been reading my fair share of reactions from both sides of the isle and am appalled at reactions from conservatives and liberals alike.

Christian Bale who is my current favorite actor (Deniro and Pacino have fallen greatly over the past decade) plays yet another [...]
Wow, for someone who just a few months ago promised he’d be around more I definitely don’t seem to be keeping my word. I have a good excuse though, I promise. I recently started a new job with Avanade, Inc. as an Infrastructure Manager/Team Lead and I’ve been extremely busy trying to keep my head above [...]
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails just can’t be stopped. When you think he’s done everything an artist can do promote digital distribution and give a giant middle finger to the record labels he blows your mind again. Nine Inch Nails Lights in the Sky Tour Sampler was released yesterday via digital download from www.nin.com. [...]
As a self-proclaimed gadget whore I’ve purchased and owned my fair share of amazing new gadgets. TiVo/DVRs, iPods, Zunes, an iPhone, an Xbox 360, a Nintendo Wii, a 50" Plasma, a 52" LCD and on and on and on… and the one gadget that I’m glad to have in my life now is my HP MediaSmart [...]
