The Shape of Things to Come
An advantage to the truncated season of Lost due to the writer’s strike is that each of the remaining episodes will likely be filled with a fast moving plotline. Last night’s episode proved that assumption and then some. Locke’s faction of Losties finally got attacked by the mercenaries from Michael’s boat and Jack had to [...]
The Internet loves Obama
While I have always found American politics to be incredibly tiresome and out of touch with my interests, the internet’s collective latching onto Barack Obama’s campaign fascinates me from a social networking standpoint. It’s blatantly apparent on community-based news sites such as Digg, carries over financially to benevolent sites like DonorsChoose and grows exponentially faster [...]
Liberty City Removed
Seven days from the launch of a game that will probably hurt the box office receipts of Iron Man, I’m keeping myself in check over the deluge of information concerning GTA IV. It’s extremely tough to keep myself in the dark about one of the most anticipated titles in this generation of gaming, but a [...]
Where does my moola go?

I dig Digsby!
I started searching for an all encompassing instant messaging program a few weeks ago. For those that are unfamiliar with the idea, it’s essentially a program that controls all my instant message accounts (AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, etc.) as well as email functions. I had used Trillian years ago, but I knew there [...]
30 Rock
I also watched 30 Rock last night, but didn’t laugh once. I’m not sure if the show is losing its luster or not.
The Office struck a sweet note last night
I’ve been a fan of NBC’s The Office since the inception of the show. The story arcs are more entertaining than most dramas and the uncomfortable comedy is almost always rock solid. During the WGA strike, it was certainly the show that I craved the most. Last week’s return was filled with laugh after laugh [...]
