• There’s no denying it anymore.

    I woke up this morning to find three inches of snow on the ground, and went to Weather.com to find a staple of Decembers in Michigan along the lake: a Lake Effect Snow Warning. Lovely. I really do like the snow. It’s pretty, it helps make the day a bit brighter, and it gives the…

  • Sushi Review: CitySen Sushi Night

    Last night a couple of friends and I got together at the CityFlats hotel in downtown Holland for their once a week sushi night. The hotel advertises it around town like it’s kind of a big deal, and I believed it; enough so that when a friend emailed us with the plan and mentioned that…

  • Re: Apple Store Geniuses

    I’d like to start by saying this: I love Apple stuff. iMacs, MacBook Pros, my iPod Touch, my AppleTV, etc. For the most part (there will be a forthcoming highlight of the most useless Apple stuff out there right now) I am a pretty happy Apple guy, and I’ll still recommend a Mac to just…

  • Armchair Gamers Review: Halo Reach (Part 1)

    I had originally intended to do one single post reviewing Halo: Reach, but there’s a lot there. So there will be two, perhaps three posts. This first part will deal with the campaign and is about as spoiler-sanitized as the average Bungie Weekly Update, so if you haven’t picked up the game, there’s no need…

  • Thoughts on new Apple things…

    I don’t suffer from the illusion that people actually read this blog, but I figured I would take a few minutes and jot down some thoughts on today’s Apple hoopla…although I have to question whether an iPod event really merits the term “hoopla”.  To be honest, the first I had heard of this was when…

  • My first day as the guy formerly known as “Intern”…

    …in a word, rocked.  In more that one word, it rocked the free world and parts of Communist China. I have said it before, and I will probably say it again a few more times in the coming years, but I love my job.  Quite simply, I absolutely adore the thing. In between watching progress…

  • And so it ends, not with a bang…

    …and not really with a whimper, either.  The ending just kind of came and went.  Like most major things these days, it seems.  Graduation from Western was a lot like graduation from high school; you did a lot of sitting, you did a fair amount of getting up to applaud, and some guy in a…

  • So apparently there are a lot of games coming out next year…

    Including, but not limited to: Halo: Reach Starcraft II Bioshock 2 Crackdown 2 The Force Unleashed II Fortunately, I am only going to have a full-time job next year, so finding time to play video games doesn’t really concern me that much.  I’ll find a way. What concerns me more is that last game on…

  • I had almost forgotten…

    …that I actually still have this thing.  The fact that I go a month without posting to a blog that had 3 posts to begin with is probably not a good reflection of my ability to commit to something, but when you think about what I’ve been up to in the last month with finishing…

  • In case you were wondering…

    …I’m still suffering from CMS.  Except on mornings when I have to get up and go to work.  Those mornings I’m a little less motivated, but I’m starting to have trouble remembering which day it really is. IKEA day was today.  I didn’t have access to anything big enough to move the larger pieces of…

Got any book recommendations?
