Cheating in Halo 2 is now prolific on the XBOX Live service. I’ve been witness to it myself, but have not participated. In general, it doesn’t bother me as much as many of my compadres, but I am annoyed by the after-effects it has. The most prime example of exploit used is the “modem standbye”… Continue reading Darwin’s Cheaters

Winter is Here!
Not that it had gone unnoticed by anyone, but today is officially Winter. It has been very cold for the last week or so. Yesterday the weather decided to ring Fall and ask for cover while it went for a smoke break. This week, looks like Fall will be standing in for Winter during the… Continue reading Winter is Here!
Tea Bag Phenomenom
Since Halo 2’s substantial release into the wild, new phrases have entered the every-day. Among them is “tea-bagging.” Not something I’d recommend using in mixed company, but I’m guessing it’ll be on the sitcom’s soon. Wikipedia says: The term tea bag is also slang for a homosexual sex act that involves the scrotum (the tea… Continue reading Tea Bag Phenomenom
Legacy Services
Has anyone ever thought of setting up a service to exchange email to standard postal mail? It would cost, of course, at least the value of a stamp an envelope. Maybe you could even handle attachments and print them out to go along. I think it’s an interesting service that is needed by a small-ish… Continue reading Legacy Services
Voting Day
It’s voting day at Eastern Standard Time in the United States. My friend, Brandon S., did some last minute campaigning yesterday evening over the phone. He’s certainly more into the political scene than I am, though that’s not saying terribly much. He did give me some additional useful information to help me pick a position… Continue reading Voting Day
Channel9 Resources
W2K Services :: Wiki’d? I really need to find a resource to learn about Windows 2003’s services. Is it too much to ask to get something beyond the definitions inferred from the description of a given service? There is some great information out there related to the services, but I need more! This time, I’m… Continue reading Channel9 Resources
webdev|Live!
So I’m working on a new project called, “webdev|Live!” The idea is that a group of web developers get together and blog the unfolding saga of web design. The process, when followed to completion, should render a sort of instant whitepaper. I’m hoping it pans out, but for now it’s just useful in allowing Sean… Continue reading webdev|Live!
Geeks Gone Wild!
There is something magical about love and procreation. There is also something hideously lewd about the abomination of it. I should have titled this: “Resistance is Nubile.” Follow the link to destroy your innocence… Circuits Discover… Each Other
Racquetball Physics
I had an argument going with the edge of my racquet (notably dumber than me). My stance was that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The racquet stood firm that it could hit me regardless of theoretical physics. My logic failed when I didn’t think to consider the variable, a ball. If, in… Continue reading Racquetball Physics
Most Excellent!
I had a really great time with everyone that showed up to drum tonight. Although the coldest night we’ve been outside this year, it was probably the most energetic. Matt and I didn’t even realize how cold it was until it was all over and we were standing up. The knees get a little stiff… Continue reading Most Excellent!
