A Year in Six Packs: 2007
Check out the video for a slide show of my drinking habits and tastes (in 2008). Not every six I drank at home is included, but most are. A few 4 packs snuck in there, but I left out all the 12 packs and cases for balance. Lots of IPAs this year, especially from big-shot…

Black and White Debates?

Totally fucked,…

Am I Entertained Yet?
I don’t think it’s too controversial to suggest that one of the main problems with our society here in the US is that the population is far too well entertained to care much about politics. Yet for someone who is quick to level that judgement on everyone else, I sure have a hell of a…

Infinite Pause
I just discovered the best feature of the Virtual Console on the Nintendo Wii: you can leave games paused infinitely just by returning to the Wii Menu. Not such a big deal for the Super Nintendo and later games with Save functionality built-in, but this is huge for NES and other games where you have…

The new iPhone SDK comes with an iPhone simulator named Aspen Simulator, which is a full iPhone emulator and includes a few built in Apps including the iPhone Safari (Mobile Safari, Safari Touch?). Using this simulator is a sweet way to test how webpages look on an iPhone without using a scrunched up Safari window…
