They’re calling it “Snowmageddon”. Well, I am, at least. A huge blizzard made its way to the Midwest and pounded us. Basically, we got a lot of snow. Two feet fell the first night, and then another two feet fell the next day. Swavek stayed with us for a couple of days, as opposed to having to drive all...

Swavek and I went to see Predators on its opening night. We got there early and watched the theater fill up. I’m always surprised to see people come in even after the lights go down and still expect to find a decent seat. I don’t normally see movies in the theater anymore, unless they are at the IMAX, but the...

Swavek got me a copy of Borderlands for an early Christmas present. He also got a copy for himself, since we like to compare notes over time while we play the same game. He started off playing a Sniper character, while I chose to start with a Siren. We talked a lot about the game. I’ve compiled the emails that I sent out...

It’s got a lot of features that my old Logitech mouse didn’t have, such as two thumb buttons and a wheel that tilts to the left and right. Even the cord is unique:...

Chrissy and I went in for her ultrasound appointment yesterday to find out the gender of “Baby 2.0″. After sitting in the waiting room for over an hour (or sleeping on my shoulder, in Chrissy’s case), we finally got in to take a look at things. This, apparently, requires half a gallon of green goo, applied...

I beat BioShock last Friday. I’m already playing it again, since there is a high replay value and you notice a lot more detail the second time around. It occurred to me that I have been playing it alot over the last two weeks, which may explain why I haven’t done much updating of my blog. My good friend Swavek got a copy...
