Trying To Find My Path

June 8, 2010 Personal

I’ve been constantly struggling between the Techie and the Creative in my life.  The Techie pays the bills and has been my bread & butter for years, but is honestly a little burned out these days.  The Creative took a backburner when Techie hit high gear, but is trying to make a reappearance in my [...]

The Me Manifesto

May 30, 2010 Personal

I am a Gemini and thus definition has never been good for me.  It feels restrictive, limiting and claustrophobic.  The proverbial daydreamer, I’m prone to dream big and dream small, but always look for more in life.  I thrive in chaos like few others can, the whirlwind of constant change makes me giggle like a [...]

The Best Anti-Heroes on Television

May 24, 2010 Television

What is it about anti-heroes that draws us to them? Is it that they play by their own rules, or that they fly in the face of social norms? Maybe it’s simply that living in darker times, we identify more readily, even if only on a subconscious level, with those who are flawed, much as [...]

Fox Television: Serial Show Killer

May 21, 2010 Popular Articles

Fox television is a strange little network.  For some reason they keep landing cutting edge shows with incredibly tight writing.  Comedies, Dramas, Animation, all sorts of shows that pushed the barriers of modern entertainment. After acquiring these jewels, they proceeded to play three card Monty with the time slot thus preventing any sort of fan [...]

Observations of a Borders bookshelf

May 17, 2010 Rant

Disclaimer: I worked for both Borders and Barnes & Nobles WAY BACK in the day.  I like them both and even though they’re chains, having any bookstore is better than none at all.  This is not a recollection of my memories from that time, but a commentary on the current state of bookstores.  This weekend [...]

Move or Die

May 12, 2010 Personal

The shark is a remarkable animal having evolved over millennia into the sleek ocean predator we both fear and admire.  Singular in purpose these fantastic creatures suffer from one major design flaw, if they stop moving they drown.  Driven by this biological drawback sharks endlessly prowl the waters, condemned to a life devoid of rest. [...]

Cuban Nomad: Year One

April 30, 2010 Blog

One year ago I started shooting my thoughts out onto the Internet.  I had been doing so for many years beforehand, but this marked the day I no longer hid behind a pseudonym.  My goals weren’t very clear at the time—they still aren’t—so I armed myself with the desire to build this slice of the [...]

Relationships and Torchwood: Children of Earth

April 23, 2010 Television

[Here there be spoilers! Reader beware!] I got a lot of good feedback after my post about Torchwood’s sexuality.  Impassioned comments and emails came my way declaring much love for the show.  Some folks agreed with me while also admitting the wanton sex was a draw for them.  Others heralded Ianto Jones (we’ll get into [...]

Guest Post: RetroHack

April 21, 2010 Guest Posts

The onslaught of nerdiness has not diminished.  Of course it also helps that technology companies keep doing things to piss me off.  This time over at RetroHack we’re discussing how to delete the incredibly annoying BlackBerry Messenger after the OS 5.0 upgrade. It’s ass backwards and involves two phone reboots, but that’s the way RIM [...]

I’m Done With GameStop

April 19, 2010 Nerd

I’ve been feeling this way for quite sometime.  An angry tweet here, a returned purchase there, no one could mistake me for a happy GameStop customer.  It’s not the constant up-sells or pressure to pre-order or any corporate nonsense.  For me, the cardinal sin that GameStop commits on a daily basis is not caring at [...]

The Bisexuality of Torchwood

April 12, 2010 Popular Articles

[Here there be spoilers! Reader beware!] Before I begin there’s a confession I must make.  I am very late to the game on Torchwood and Doctor Who (don’t even ask about Battlestar).  The reason I finally bit the bullet with Doctor Who was the constant "this show is awesome!" from some friends of mine.  When [...]
