I had been wondering why my stats have not been updating itself accurately for the past few days. I found out I had done something terrible-a terrible, terrible thing.

I was watching a few shows last Sunday night and while flipping though channels, there was one show that simply did not seem well thought through and was simply trying a mash up between the superhero hype and the reality shows. It had Stan Lee of Marvel Comics as the ‘judge’ and its title is/was […]

I formally setup this site at the start of summer and now, a few weeks before summer officially ends, I’m going though cleaning. I’m de-cluttering the page, reducing the widgets that load, and reformatting the layout of the right-most column. It seems so cluttered, perhaps because of the sizing of the icons. There must be […]

Nicholas Negroponte has been championing the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) Organization for several years now (Nov 2005) and has yet to produce a real $100 laptop. Its current cost is at $180 since it has to scale up production to really achieve that cost. Now, another player has come out, Intel. As a chip […]

Blizzard couldn’t have worded it any better! It has been 9 long years since the original StarCraft game, but it still packs an afternoon full of interest. I got a copy of it right when it came out and tried it on my Pentium 1 PC. The graphics were great for an RTS game that […]

I only have a feed for my posts on feedburner, is this enough? I’m looking for ways to increase readership, comments, and stickiness of the blog. I’ve seen others with subscribe to links, but have been busy recently to do experiments on the plugins that work well.
