For when you absolutely, positively want to analogally digitally waste paper! Maybe you could cut them into a notebook after? receipt racer from d_effekt on Vimeo.
Beginnings
My first foray into being on camera, we’ll see how this goes… **Update** Ok, that was truly a case of nerves. I wasn’t all that nervous until I saw the woman in front of me do it. I was planning on a basic how do you do and maybe some pictures but I jumped right into taping some Q&A for the promos. The next time I’ll have a little more preparation and should be able to roll with it a bit more, was hoping to be a bit more natural about it.
Now THAT’s Entertainment
Yesterday was a blockbuster Tuesday, if only for the release of the highly touted, much ballyhooed game, the shoe-in for best return from vaporware by a major motion video game. Yes, that’s right – Duke Nukem Forever (cleverly acronymn’d DNF – aka Did Not Finish) was released to the public. You may also have heard (meh, who am I kidding – no you haven’t) about Alice: Madness Returns which ALSO came out yesterday. If you remember playing the original back in 2000 – this is the effective sequel. American McGee has stayed true, and this updated title only complements the…

Politicomotion
I don’t normally delve into politics. I’m more the type to hint at what I believe. I don’t enjoy arguing politics because I don’t know enough. I believe what I believe, and anyone with some well memorized facts can take me in any argument. I just know what I feel. I’m liberal when it comes to modern ideas. I have no problem with anyone loving anyone else. I also have no problem with someone being responsible and making a very hard decision about what to do when they weren’t careful, or even when all the careful in the world just…
Formatting An External Drive with FAT32 for PS3 using Win7
Whew, what a mouthful. You might possibly find this post if you’re trying to backup your PS3 – it’s easy, Sony says you just need your drive to be FAT32 – well that’s fine, my thumb drive is FAT32. Oh… it needs to be able to fit the entire system for a backup? Ok – I’ll just take this external 40gig drive I have and format it. No option when right clicking the drive and choosing format for FAT32 only extFAT and NTFS, well maybe extFAT will work… nope! OK, well let me try the command line: format /FS:FAT32 /q…
Google Music Beta
I’m enjoying google music so far. I’ve been using Amazon Cloud in paralell for comparison and Google Music is already better – primarily because they’ve yet to mention a storage limit. I installed the music uploader and it has both iTunes and WMPlayer integration – which appears to pull from the music library, I’m still not sure if it’s pulling it in my sort order of the playlist in iTunes or alphabetical, or other. The first couple tracks it added were all recently added to iTunes – but then it’s grabbing them seemingly from all over the library. I am…
i7 Video Upgrade
I had built a system for a friend about 6 months ago. It was ready to roar, minus the video card as the rest of it was expensive enough. It did the trick for the time being, but he was ready to go bigger so I ordered him some video cards. They just came in, so I’m doing some before and after benchmarks. Current Stats: Intel i7 (4 core) @ 3.4ghz 6mb DDR3 @ 1333mhz Tri-Channel Configuration (3 x 2G) 2 x 1TB Hard Drives Bluray / DVD Writer Combo Drive ATI Radeon HD 5450 DX11 New cards: EVGA nVidia…

#Tornados in #WesternMA
This is where I should start compiling all the videos and pictures and everything I’ve come accross in the past few days. I purchased The Republican EXTRA, and will certainly note this time. I’d like to have it to show my son when he’s a bit older. “We were right near this, your mother watched it from blocks away as you were safe several towns away – and we all made it through safely but it could have been closer.” I’m concerned some video might go away, so I plan on slurping it up with Real Player – who knew…
The Future of Mobile Graphics
Dynamic Lighting… for one, quad core – and that’s just for processing. There are also 12 GPUs running the graphics but it requires all 4 cores for much of the physics (as you can see in the demo when they drop it down to 2).
It may not hover, but it’s still really really cool

Crysis 2 – More Screenshots and Video
Here’s some more screenshots I took as well as my latest video. I’m splitting my time up between all the games, I like a nice spread out game experience. I ended up resuming the current spot after a single death. I figured it was time to go to sleep. As it turned out it was a fabulous place to pick back up, tons of action in about an hour’s worth of playtime.

Playstation Network (PSN) is Down
Things started on Thursday – I had just received my copy of Portal 2 from Amazon so it was especially inconvenient. I’ve since gotten many an achievement… who knows if they’ll show up on my account once it’s back online. It also means I can’t do multiplayer, which is just as well because my buddy Jay finished his single player campaign yesterday. I’ve got another 4 Chapters, and fairly stuck right now. So back to the actual outage – here’s what’s going down: Sony initially had some weird error popping up, they said online the servers were down for maintenance.…
MIA – Paper Airplanes Ringtone (MP3)
I kept hearing it in the trailer and couldn’t get it out of my head. I’ve now made a ringtone out of the song from Pineapple Express.
