Here Comes the Suna
One of the greatest things about emulation is the sheer number of HORRIBLE games you might otherwise never have gotten the opportunity to play. I was playing MAME last night and discovered a company called Suna that put out four or five arcade titles in the late 80s to early 90s. Their flagship title is [...]

So in the past three years I tried going back to school for computer programming and I tried going back to school for art, consequently destroying both my love for computers and art, respectively. Since arriving in Portland, I’ve been kicking around the idea of going back to school; what other passions could I ruin [...]
Read More..>>Shinfo: Wikipedia Article
Wikipedia has an entry on dick jokes which, in case the term isn’t self-explanatory enough, are jokes that directly or indirectly reference the human penis or “dick.” Fascinating. Where’s YOUR dick joke article, Britannica? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Although it doesn’t say it, Wikipedia could use your help in expanding this article. If there’s any [...]

I was fairly proud of the fact that I had no idea who Soulja Boy is. I was only vaguely aware of his popularity due to the excess of Soulja Boy promotion on Youtube and various social networking sites, through which I had deduced he was a “music” “artist,” but I do a pretty good [...]

These weird little stories seem to come to me when I’m trying to get to sleep.
Read More..>>Dangerous Words Pt. II
You may remember a while back I picked up Dangerous Words: Talking About God in an Age of Fundamentalism, a book that sounded interesting, despite being authored by a religious moderate. Since the speech he gave during his book signing got me really fired up, I was determined to read the book as quickly as [...]

The advertising on Facebook is profile-specific (generally speaking). When I had “video games” in my activities, I got advertisements for upcoming games, an unfinished college education gets you advertisements for online accelerated degree programs and so on. Depressingly, if you’re listed as “single,” you get obnoxious ads for online dating services: “What? You’re single?? What [...]

Nothing has been funny/annoying enough to me to warrant a blog lately. Because of the lack of inspiration, I’ve dug up my first blog ever, which was never published. This was originally written May 5, 2004 — about a year before this blog was started.
My dad is a cool guy, but a little crazy. He’s [...]
