So I got a call from a debt collector. I’ve been wondering what it’s for for a while, but it was always an automated call so I’d call them back at the number provided and leave a message – without ever getting a message back. It didn’t sound familiar the company they were citing, and I’ve been paying everything pretty well so I wasn’t expecting anything. Finally I called back the number that called me, and surprise I got someone right away (should have thought of that sooner). Low and behold it appears that my old apartment never had my…
Springfield Conga Line
Not spontaneous… it’s not even flash mob since it was much more organized, but why hold that against them? Springfield go together to do something fun.
Christian Slater is up to something new…
Not a bad first show, also features the kid from reaper… at least this looks more promising then the crap show “Sock” got stuck with:
Amusing: This just in… “vanilla” sex is still sex.
This just in… “vanilla” sex is still sex. Vanilla Sex is Still Sex

a 2nd non facebook post

another non facebook post
I botched the last one by actually checking the box for a facebook post
>An Open Letter to EA About PC Games
>Stub for letter to ea games. [there are the points – I shall flush out the letter henceforth to forthwith, vis a vie.] So I was very excited for two new recent game releases for PC. Both happened to be sequels and both were Electronic Arts (EA). I have never been a fan of companies that get so large they depend on formulas, plans, and financials to fuel their game decisions rather then ideals. I had seen it happen before, but couldn’t directly relate an actual example when prompted. No longer need I search — Crysis 2 and NFS Shift…
>Crysis 2 Review (PC)
>I got my hands on Crysis 2 for PC yesterday. I was very excited having seen it and played it on multiple machines at PAX East several weekends ago. It came on one disk, which was good in regards to time to install, but I’m still impressed by GTA IVs 2 DVDs / 18G worth of textures and data. I started it up and it was 4:3 by default… no one plays in 4:3 anymore, so straight to the options I went. The first thing I noticed was the lack of settings, though with some further reading I have heard…
Peeping Through New Peepers
I set out to write a very melodramatic account of getting glasses. I’ve always been able to see rather well, or so I thought. It’s been over 10 years since my last visit to the optometrist and I’m sure my vision had degraded somewhere in there. Everything was different. They used to have the lights and the poofs, but it just felt different this time. There were 3 machines when I went in for my pre-exam. There was an autofocus machine which determined what I was looking at as a scene appeared before me, constantly flicking in and out of…
Climbing out the Murk
So here’s my first real entry since the whole blogger fiasco. I still want to convert everything to wordpress but for the effort I got the old template working with some strange google domain name service redirection magic to subdomains. That’s probably more then any good security expert would divulge, but I believe I’ve lost many of my readers anyhow at this point. A lot has happened in the past couple years. It’s going on 2 years since my son was born, and it was a good 9 months before that where we were preoccupied with newfangled life experiences. It’s…
Post Nostalgia
Here’s me going on about my 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege – it was good but not crazy fast, not crazy powerful, and I blew the clutch being a hothead kid.http://forums.mazdaworld.org/101-323-protege-protege5/44750-mazda-speed-protege-3.html
>lame – blogger stopped allowing ftp publishing so I was trying to find a way around it – not too much luck so far, looking into an alternate way. I’m sad I haven’t been able to publish anything lately, and don’t like that my text is no longer stored on my server. I’m going to try and get something going again, I’ve got lots to share, and facebook is very unpermanant for my tastes
Working Out Web Kinks
This is a new post to sit at the top of the page – wasn’t sure if I got this working again or not – in any case I’m going to try and parooze my facebook status to find some fill ins… way too much time has passed and this will be a large hole in my site. Hurt my left hand playing softball on Friday – work tomorrow ought to be interesting. this weekend got to go boating and then camping @ the orchard with Justin & Tracy
>Computer and General Stuff
>I know I’m going to regret trying to type something out on this laptop. I always hit the touchpad and sometimes even jump up and delete entire paragraphs if I’m not paying attention. In any case I’m writing this on my laptop because I didn’t include my northbridge (MCP) temp on my monitor when I was overclocking. I had pretty good CPU temps but the northbridge got heated up way too high when the computer decided to come out of sleep for whatever reason and sit there baking in a 90 degree room with no A/C turned on. Once I…
Scott Tower, Holyoke MA
We found this today – Scott Tower in Holyoke.We walked up the street through the park we normally go to and went up the road we normally don’t. We didn’t even know it was there, and yet it was such a huge part of the town back in the day. I’ve joined a group to help bring it back and I hope these pictures will help you to realize what an important project this is. Please join the cause to save Scott Tower and the park around it. If you ever have visted Mountain Park – think of it as…

Got another one I did over my birthday:Bruised, Salty, and Watery. Remix of a remix with an ode to the original – Chicane – Salt Water.
>Blogger go byebye
>I got an email the other day that blogger would no longer support FTP. That messes up my whole deal, anyone I ever set up. Myself, my business. my sister, all impacted and I either need to get some great content management system up in less then a month and a half or get some ajax going. Kind of lame for them to do this, they sayh it costs too much money but back in the day I gladly paid for Blogger. I’d gladly do it again but that’s no an option. They got bought, it’s been a couple years.…
>Scripting
>So I’ve been playing with the links – you may have noticed. They still update automatically, but need to rewrite the scrolling code so it’s imbedded. I’m trying to rewrite anything iframe to javascript and get things to tie in a little better then the current section format. I’ve realized the blocks don’t really seem to go together but screen size has come a long way since my “throw compatability to the wind” 1024+ super-wide background. So content still flows here and there but lately it’s all about how to better present it. I’m in need of extending the text…
