eBooking it up

Nearly a month ago I wrote a post titled eBooks, Kindle and the iPhone about turning my last fortress of old technology books into the electronic. I did have to finish a thousand page book first, taking quite a while since I pretty much only have time to read on my twenty minute commute. After [...]

eBooks, Kindle and the iPhone

Today I made a leap towards a future I’ve been supporting for a long time, but something I have been reluctant to start enjoying – electronic books.

GDC: Mass Effect 2 Leaked Footage | Gossip Gamers. Mass Effect quickly became one of the games in my life. I’ve finished it three times already and it’s story is worth a movie (which I have understood, is on the way.) For you, who are not familiar with the world of Mass Effect – it [...]

Now that I got into my old school internet ranting, there’s one thing (especially) (today) that pisses me off. Aliases, screen names, whatever you call them. It seems like when things go mainstream, people start forgetting that they have an imagination. It was the same thing when we were kids and playing Dungeons & Dragons: [...]

More Doom and ranting

Continuing on the topic of Doom – no, not the crap disloyal movie, but the original classic and especially its music. I was asked to perform on a few songs on the Doom 2 remix project, and since usually remixes are pretty crappy similar to the loyalty of the movies I went out to check [...]

Go out once in a while!

Do you remember when we were kids and our parents told us to go out because we were spending too much time with the computer? (I’m guessing that those kids like me and my friends are also the ones reading blogs.) Little they knew, that we would more or less be making our money by [...]
