God is dead

.. and no one seems to care.
You know that the almighty deity is gone when a pastor conducting a baptism, one of the most holy sacraments, is electrocuted in the water. I’m not sure if this qualifies for the Darwin Awards but it should. Some of those entries are hilarious.
No big loss.

Now that’s love

Well, I guess I should come out and say it. I’ll be becoming 23 in about 4 days. It’s rather fitting to receive presents from the ones that you love, and this day is no exception. Nichole was rather kind to notice that my current desktop monitor was getting a little old. I’ve had that [...]

It’s that thing in the place with the thing

Out of curiosity or boredom, I decided to download the Quake III Arena source code. It’s freely distributed under the GPL license. I have to say that I’m impressed with the coding practices of id Software. The code is very clean, and very readable. I’m used to looking at garbage code that someone slapped together [...]

The hilarity ensues….

Man, it’s been a crazy week already but by far, I saw one of the funniest things this week. Commuting home from work is one of the most boring and frustrating things on this earth. I can’t describe in words how angry I get at someone with their left turn signal blinking when they have [...]

What did I get myself into?

I was thinking the same thing, after I read a story over at Tom’s Hardware. I have no idea how many EULAs or End User License Agreements, I have clicked next through. Some of these things are scary or downright funny. I wouldn’t be surprised if some small publisher as a prank added in “IF [...]

Kevin 2 Sprint 0

You want to get nuts? Let’s get nuts.
I’m sure you’ve read about my recent encounter with Sprint. I guess through some insane karma I got a phone call last night around 8:30. It was a 1-888 number so I was already skeptical of the phone call. I picked it up and was greated by some [...]

Burned Out

This weekend was very uneventful. We didn’t have any plans to do grand things or go anywhere so J came down for the weekend. Specifically, he came down on account of his mother going back home. When he called me at 11AM, I was surprised he was here so early. He had originally told me [...]

Kevin 1 Sprint 0

Not only is Sprint an evil company, it’s also populated by complete idiots. This last week I called up Sprint to sign a new agreement to get 10% off my bill moving forward. While I was in the process of signing up, I asked about getting a new phone. Now, you have to understand that [...]

My take on iTunes 6

We all know that I’m addicted to Lost, and last night was no exception. I finally finished the first season and it was just short of amazing. However, I had a problem. The problem was that I did not see the Premiere of the second season and the show right after it. In steps iTunes [...]

iBusiness

In my honest opinion, I see a change coming for Apple. I think in the next 5 to 10 years, they’re going to be a company thriving on the peripheral, OS, software, services, and server market.
