Ahhhh.. the glory of home ownership. Not a new home like the condo’s. No a home that people lived in before you graced the place with your existance.
The previous owners of our home thought it would be really swell to put wallpaper up in the basement of the house.
Pink Pasley wallpaper.
Who does that [...]

While this is all heresay so far, it appears as though Microsoft is going to try and expand it’s XBox brand into a portable unit. From the Mercury News article:

By anchoring its entertainment device as a handheld game player, Microsoft is starting from its position of strength in the entertainment business that it hopes Apple [...]

So some of you may have noticed that now on every post I’m including a very simple banner image. Sometimes related to what the post is about, sometimes just a random nothing. What are they for? Well for two things actually.
The first reason is that I really like that idea. I think I saw [...]

Apparently in Mobile, Alabama they are reporting that several residents in one neighborhood are seeing a Leprechaun at night there.
I’d actually go into the whole story but I wouldn’t be doing it any justice. What you should do is download the two following videos off of Foundry Music and check them out for yourself. [...]

Just wanted to drop everyone a line that April 20th (yes 4/20 for you stoners) is National High Five Day. And no, I’m not talking about AIDS day. That’s another national High V day. I plan on laying out several monstorous high fives through the course of the day. I’ll probably also be stealing some from [...]

So one of the cool things about the new house was the ability for us
to build a small Theater Room in the basement. Actually that was the
whole plan from the begining when I saw that room.
Finally after a few weeks of waiting I got an install date from the Magnolia Home Theater guys. March [...]

So last week I went back on to my blood pressure medicine. After a month of the worst headaches and a ton of stress, I gave in and went back on them.
Of course, I should have done it sooner as I’ve been feeling so much better this past week. Of course all the usual [...]

First and foremost the JT’s would like to thank you all (those of you that showed up) for coming over and celebrating our new house. The party seemed like a big hit for everyone. For us we hope to not give another tour of the house for awhile. Those stairs of ours are killer.
I’d [...]

So everyone knows that one of the main selling points for getting the new house was that I would have a comic book room. Believe me it’s all the rage in the industry, I’m not sure what the street term is but I would hazard a quess it’s something like “Fortress of Solitude”.
But of [...]

So Jessi and I had the pleasure Sunday of attending a Dorrance Ct. Get Together Brunch with all our neighbors. It wasn’t bad, got to eat some good quiche and fresh fruit.and mingled with the other neighbors and find out about things that I’ll need to replace in the house after awhile. I think we beat the [...]

The trailer for the 3rd X-Men movie was released last night during 24 and subsequently released on the web. X-Men: The Last Stand is probably going to be the last of the movies. From the rumor sites it appears as though it’s getting harder and harder to get these guys back over the years. And [...]

Most of you know the Amen Break when you hear it but you don’t know about it. I didn’t know much about it other then what it was and where it came from but this video really does a fantastic job of breaking it down and giving a very good history of a very important [...]

Some of you may have seen this Microsoft Oragami stuff that’s been floating around the web for about 2 weeks now. You may have even seen the video for this thing. The concept is something very interesting to me but at this point it will have to be made by Apple. I’m so consumed by [...]

We were talking about this at lunch and no one seemed to know what the hell I was talking about. TextPayMe (whch is currently in beta, which also means nothing these days) allows you to pay people via SMS. For example, Hoover picks me up a pack of smokes while he is running errands and [...]
