Technical support from Trickster didn’t respond. I guess I am not surprised, but then again, I don’t discourage that easily. I went out on Google and looked up the President of SG Interactive (Woo Dong Lee), and put together a letter to him. I basically explained my son’s interest in running a game, my background

That’s right, you heard me right. When my son told me Trickster had shut its boxes down in the US, the first thing I did was…. well… feel bad for my son just a tad because I know he loved that game. Then, I realized I would never see Fistmas Present or Experimenty Fresh ever

Ah, yes. Steven Covey. A name that is near and dear to many of us in theory, and to fewer of us in practice. Proof positive that a horse can be lead to better habits, but will often instead, choose to drink. Here I am again, then. Round 3,755, maybe. I lost count in the

HOW TO REACH FACEBOOK? OK, so here are some options – I haven’t tried them yet, but figured I would

Friends, country bumpkins, and fellow American citizens. President’s Day means a little something different to each of us. For some, its a 3 or 4 day weekend. For others, it is time to buy a car for too much money but be convinced you got a good deal because it came with free hot dogs

With my usual flare for misguiding youth, I promptly supplied him with a poignant anecdote from my childhood. It went something like this: === BEGIN PARENTAL RAMBLING ===

OFF BASE INTRO Well, it finally happened…I got sick enough of Windows 7 being quiet that I decided to research doing something about it. Disclaimer? Always! I am running an ASUS motherboard with Realtek Integrated Audio. There’s also a team of licensed audio gnats in this chassis that uses their saliva to regulate sample depth,

Sometimes, while standing in my bathroom waiting to potentially throw-up, my mind wanders down the weirdest paths. Maybe I should have a Slim Jim and a bag of baby carrots for lunch more often? Not my most brilliant nutritional pairing… ah… that’s how I got here. I was thinking about bad pairings. Luckily the Slim
