Popular video game publishing company Electronic Arts (also known as EA) released a video game not long ago on the PC platform called Spore. First, they released a “teaser” demo called Spore Creature Creator, which let you play around with creating your own creature out of miscellaneous parts. You could change the colors, length, width,…
New Fast & Furious Comes Out Summer 2009
When The Fast and the Furious came out several years ago, I thought how hilariously silly it all was, even if the action was terribly enjoyable. Face it, people love fast cars, big explosions, gun fights, and this series has all of that. Minus good acting. But hey, you don’t really go see movies like…
Set Your DVRs, History Hacker to Premiere Tonight
The History Channel continues to amaze me. What used to be a boring documentary channel is now appealing to younger and less history-obsessed audiences, making topics fun and interesting. In what should prove to be an exciting Mythbusters meets Historical Documentary series, History Hacker involves Bre Pettis of MAKE fame hacking together inventions out of…

Re-Entry is Rough: Rob & Big With the Assist
Due to some technical difficulties, Game Night ended up being movie night, at my place. Melissa got into my liquor cabinet and started mixing it up for my guests. It’s nice to have a bartender friend. When I get paid again, I’m going to get a shaker, jigger, and muddler so I have some more…

Website LoseTheGame.com talks about the game, and details the three simple rules: 1. You are playing the Game. 2. Don’t think about the Game. If you think about the Game, you lose. 3. You…
Amazon Prime Has Its Advantages
So, I have more recently been learning to live within my means, and using my blog money to purchase the silly things that I want. I finally cashed out my Social Spark account for the last $50, and once it was in my PayPal account I transferred it out to my bank account. So what…
An Entirely Cool Labor Day Blog
*Disclaimer: “Entirely Cool” is based on my opinion only. Author assumes no responsibility for whether or not you give a crap. Friday evening started off my 4-day Labor Day weekend (I took an extra day off, today, to get my furniture and some other stuff done). We went to Huddle House and then over to…
Paying off The Man for FREEDOM
My inheritance funds finally cleared, and my final decision was to pay off debt instead of getting fancy new tech gadgets. It seemed like the smarter thing to do. I dumped a load of money into my Money Market account because it has a 3.20% interest rate, and I paid off Bank of America FOREVER.…
Check Out Fail Blog
I could have almost swore I already pointed this one out, but I checked my archives and I haven’t talked about it yet. For those of you who enjoy my random LOLCat pictures to get you through the week, there’s another fun diversion from the people who brought you ICanHasCheezburger.com: The Fail Blog. A FAIL…
