Back to work…

So I’m back at work again, and let me tell you, it still sucks! Everyday I get more and more tired of it. Computer tech support is a bad, bad job. Sure, every once in a while you get to meet some very interesting lady customers but not even that makes it worth it, [...]

To all the haters: why we use ads on our blogs and sites

And by “we” I really mean “I”, but I’m pretty sure a lot of other bloggers and website owners share this opinion to some degree. Do you know those people (that I can feel free to say whatever I want about them because they have surely seen the ads and immediately clicked the back button) that [...]

Finished Bioware’s Mass Effect

I don’t play games as I used to a few years ago, but a friend of mine recommended Mass Effect a few weeks ago and I decided to give it a try, and as you might guess from the post’s title I was immediately hooked. It has a great sci-fi plot, great sense of depth, [...]
