Geek of All Trades

To someone on the outside, I must look more than a little strange.  The site, the whole look at feel of it, is designed to convey a message – that I’m a bit of a geek.  Or maybe more than a bit of a geek, absolutely a geek.  And it’s true, too; it’s been true [...]

Superman Returns: Extreme Days

Okay… so I’ve been itching to try this, and tonight I finally took the time and did. Putting together some scenes from Superman Returns and the music from Toby Mac’s “Extreme Days”, I’ve posted my first fan-made music video on YouTube.
Now… it’s fairly amateurish, I know. Some of the transitions aren’t that great, and the fades are [...]

Marble Madness!

No, not the silly (but addictive) game from the 80s, in which you roll around as a marble over a sprite map which looks 3D (good job, Mark Cemy!).  The game was an utter blast, but I found (via Crunchgear) a wholly different kind of madness in this amazingly disturbing but hypnotic piece of craftsmanship, [...]

Want: Cyberpunk Weapon

I’m a geek – or at least a pseudogeek.  As such, I should be going goo-goo over the latest and greatest tech being shown off at Gizmodo, the newest iPhone 3G, or Sony’s Playstation Portable.  And I do!  I’m a closet technophile, loving gadgetry from afar, while largely being unable to drop the type of [...]

No Drama, Just More Crimefighting!

Do you ever start writing something, only to discover you’ve said far too much, and it would just be better if you deleted, because really, there’s no way to pare it down and have it still make sense?  Yeah.  I just did that.  No drama.  None.  Not today.  I don’t want to deal with it, [...]

All I Needed Was Incentive…

… and now I have it.  Incentive, that is, to buy an iPhone.  Now, I’m not going to rush out to the local AT&T Wireless store, drool over their selection of high-powered gadgets, pick just the right model for my tastes, and drop down a Visa or Mastercard for all that and a side of [...]

The “Jesus” Shot

It seems a YouTube user by the name of “levinator25″ found what he believed to be a bug in Electronic Arts’ Tiger Woods ‘08.  From the look of things, you could actually walk out onto the water, playing as Tiger Woods, and take a swipe at the ball, effectively making water traps harmless.  In response, [...]

Out In Left Field

I’m a lefty, an ol’ southpaw.  I was fortunate enough to grow up with a family that didn’t discourage what came natural to me, in a school which wasn’t burdened with the antiquated notion that left-handers should be forced to use their right hands, so while I shoot both a bow and a gun with [...]

How To Make Wonder Woman Work

Some of you may not know:  I’m not a comic book geek, but I’m a comic book fan.  I like superheroes, amazing stories, and cool powers.  I’ve been reading and watching Superman comic, books, movies, cartoons, and shows since I was a kid, and even went out as the big blue boy scout for Halloween [...]

On a Cellular Level

Ah, school.  There are times when I miss those cinder-block corridors, bubbling beakers, bunsen burners, basketballs, and the smell of sweat in the locker room.  Then I beat my head against the wall to remind myself just how much I disliked it when I was there, and my eyes are opened once again to the [...]
