October 15, 2007 – 9:46 am
I know, it’s not always easy to be environmentally conscious. So many things can get in the way. Just trying to keep even with the world we’ve created, let alone get ahead, can take up more time than seems reasonable in many cases.
But there are a few things that even the most [...]

ConAgra, the largest North American packaged food company, has recently recalled pot pies it sells under brand names like Banquet, Kroger and Albertsons.

Is Your BlackBerry Haunted?
October 12, 2007 – 1:33 pm
As a Blackberry owner I can honestly admit that I don’t have this nervous twitch in my makeup, at least not yet anyway. It is kind of odd that this phenomenon appears quite wide-spread and not an isolated instance or two.

Global Warming – The Game
October 11, 2007 – 5:19 am
One of my favorite game franchises, SimCity, has added a module which takes into account the effects of carbon dioxide. Building a city and ignoring the issue will lead to elevated levels of greenhouse gasses and your carefully laid out cities will start to die off.
Players can take the path less chosen and build cities [...]

We’ll sue if you post a poor review of our game
October 9, 2007 – 7:17 am
In what has to be the the worst case of Christian hypocrisy I’ve seen since Ted Haggard, Left Behind Games has decided to sue bloggers who post bad reviews of their poorly reviewed “convert or die” videogame Left Behind: Eternal Forces. Both Gameology and Daily Kos have received boilerplate letters from some [...]
Scandal in Atlantic City
October 8, 2007 – 5:00 am
Three year olds believe that they disappear when they cover their own eyes. When you play peek-a-boo with a three year old they are 100% sure that you can’t see them while they have their own eyes covered. Robert, uncover your eyes, we see you!
I am a veteran myself. And despite being elegible for [...]

Fraud Suspect Goes to Ground
October 5, 2007 – 4:23 pm
Wow, here’s a good one…
Liar & Cheat
The Mayor of Atlantic City has dropped off the face of the earth. Apparently this is due to an ongoing investigation by the FBI of what amounts to fraud. Robert Levy is being investigated for embellishing (read lying about) his service in Vietnam while a member of the [...]
Stop the Spying
October 5, 2007 – 1:59 pm
Yesterday I found this link on the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) homepage. After reading the accompanying text I fired off e-mails to my two Senators and my Congressman. You can find information regarding your elected officials here.
Update: I’ve received a reply from my Congressman already. I’m pretty sure it was sent off by [...]

Man, what a kick in the face……

A jury of her peers has found that the woman accused of downloading and sharing copywrited material across the internet is guilty and has ordered her to pay $220,000 in restitution.
This verdict was met with shocked disbelief. As one lawyer put it, “A verdict of $222,000 for infringement of 24 song files worth a total [...]
Why?!?

Voyager VX 10000
Why does anything have to be an "iPhone Killer", or an iPod killer for that matter? Why can’t Verizons new phone rest on its own laurels and force the iPhone to become the Voyager VX 10000 killer. [It’s gonna need a better name, no one wants to be a Voyager VX 10000 killer]
But [...]
Sony just doesn’t get it….
October 3, 2007 – 2:35 pm
I’m sorry that I haven’t been consistent with my posting since we’ve been back from Italy. I’ve got a bit of a head cold and it makes it a little difficult to concentrate some times.
Sony just continues to amaze me. I can’t imagine how a company that has come this far continues to [...]
