I am not the only one obsessed with Tetris »

Tetris is, by far, my favorite video game of all time. There are plenty of video games that hold a place in my heart. There are plenty of games that I’ve logged way too many hours playing. None come close to Tetris. It’s the perfect game. Easy to learn, hard to master, with a difficulty [...]

French McDonald’s Ad »

I posted this on Facebook a while ago, but thought I’d share here too.  There was a flurry of discussion on the Facebook thread about what the ending look means.  But, I don’t want to give any spoilers, so just watch!

Lost in translation »

I love the weird pseudo-English found in spam comments. I’m assuming these spammers just paste some text from their native language into some sort of translator, but sometimes it comes out poetic.  I received these comments today.

I don’t think they’re gonna let me call myself a feminist anymore… »

I played some free poker tournies tonight and did well.  Got second place in the first one. That got me a seat in the second one in which I made it to the final table (out of 3). Oh, and I also won this card cover: Not really sure if it’s incredibly offensive or incredibly [...]

What’s new »

Several unrelated things are going on with me.  I will not attempt to segue between each. You will just have to keep up. We’re moving.  This makes 4 times in 5 years. This time we will have no roommates and no crazy basement suite tenants.  This is a good thing. Work is going really well, at least [...]
