OK, I have been a big fan of Heroes for quite some time. I am pretty unhappy the way they took Hiro's powers and totally nerfed Peter. Quite frankly I'm not a fan of Peter to begin with but he had some wicked awesome powers. Once they nerfed him he quickly became one of my least favorite characters.Silar, on the other hand, has quickly become one of the most interesting characters. I love the line from a couple weeks ago, "I let you live kid, … [Read more...]

I know I've already talked about the Transformers before, but I really loved that show. I was so afraid of the movie because I worried it would ruin my memories. Sure it departed from the story quite a bit but you had to expect that. The essence of what Transformers is didn't change with the movie though. More than that, they worked in several references to the original cartoon. One scene has Sam Witwicky saying to the girl he likes, "With … [Read more...]

Well, I was for about .5 seconds. I went snowboarding for the first time today and despite having learned how to skate, surf, and windsurf in my youth it has been too long since I used those skills so balance was my enemy today as much as gravity.Anyways, I was pretty tired at the end of training session and couldn't even stand-up on the board much less try what I was being taught, but I got out after lunch and tried some more with more success. … [Read more...]

I loved GI Joe almost as much as Transformers when I was a kid. They did a remake of the show and I watched it. Quite frankly I was more than a little disappointed. The show itself wasn't terrible but they really dropped the ball at the end. Back in the 80s they finished each show out with very important information where the characters from the show taught kids like me how to deal with stuff and stay safe. This seems like something they really … [Read more...]

This is actually dated technology but it is coming mainstream sooner than I expected, which is wicked awesome. I first became aware of this kind of thing 4 years ago and last year (or late 2007) Apple showed some places they are headed with the technology. MS has started showing what they are planning and is talking actual rollout. Basically I need a few grand for the commercial unit but in 3 years or so they will be much more affordable so I'm … [Read more...]

I love technology. I've stated that many times. Today I want to explore what I would do without all my tech in honor of the people that are existing without power due to the ice storms.A couple of years ago there was a massive series of ice storms in Springfield, MO that left the town devastated. My house lost power the first night and was one of the last to get power back. We were in the city and so did get power back sooner than more rural … [Read more...]
