Lifting in Pensacola…

Posted by in Exercise, Review on February 7, 2012

Well, since today marks the first day I’ve lifted since tearing my trap almost two weeks ago, and the first time I’ve ever lifted in a commercial gym, I felt the need to wax poetic about it for a bit. First and foremost, my trap is still bugging me, and as has been the case […]

Comparison Review: TC Electronic Studio Konnect 48 vs. Focusrite Saffire Pro 40

Posted by in Music, Review on December 29, 2011

Approximately 4 years ago, I rebuilt my DAW, and shortly thereafter I decided to punt the whole internal soundcard paradigm to the curb and switch over to a Firewire-based external audio interface. This brought with it a couple of advantages. For one, I don’t have to screw around inside the case to install a new […]

The result of OCD song rating tendencies: You find some exceptional songs

Posted by in Music, Review on March 4, 2011

One of the few benefits of being incredibly easily bored is that I tend to get expose myself to a lot of different things, and that’s no less true when it comes to music. When you combine this with innate obsessive/compulsive tendencies, you get some interesting results. In my case, it results in me listening […]

Three books that destroyed my ability to enjoy standard Sci-Fi

Posted by in Review, Science on August 21, 2010

Three books that I have read in recent years have completely eliminated my ability to enjoy your typical space-opera sci-fi. And believe it or not, I think that’s a good thing. Here’s the issue: Most sci-fi authors are not imaginative enough to envision anything that could even approximate reality in 100+ years. The most basic […]

Review of the Nexus One

Posted by in Review on June 26, 2010

About a week ago, I got my shiny new Nexus One from Google, and I have been happily using it since. While I didn’t leave it on Eclair (Android OS 2.1) for long, here are my thoughts on it under Eclair. First, the thing is phenomenally fast, compared to a G1 or iPhone 3G. This […]

Android vs. iPhone: A review

Posted by in Review on June 19, 2010

First, an introduction for those of you who don’t know me personally. I have had the iPhone for about 2 years now, and despite it’s flaws (which are numerous), I have always said it was the best smart phone I ever owned. I went to the iPhone from a Windows Mobile device (Cingular 3125), which […]

Weekend hard disk adventures…and two must-have tools

Posted by in Computing, Review on November 9, 2009

Well, I bought and installed a shiny new WD 1.5 TB hard disk this weekend, and I have to say it went better than expected, despite the fact that it took a day to complete. The physical installation, of course, was a piece of cake (one of the great things about SATA). No messing about […]

Eating Leather – Drakensang: The Dark Eye review update

Posted by in Review on October 9, 2009

So, in my previous review of this game, I ranted quite a bit on how buggy the stupid thing was since it crashed my system. Since then, my system got flakier and I came to realize it wasn’t the game, it was most likely the video card (based on the fact that the system only […]

Review of "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown

Posted by in Review on October 7, 2009

I don’t normally review books, but this one I have to get off my chest. I’ll put the summary right up top for those who don’t want to read the whole thing: This book is a horribly unimaginative way to ruin appreciation of ancient art and completely ruin any hope of ever understanding basic physics.Not […]
