Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

**MINOR SPOILER COMING** We saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this weekend over the holiday. It’s the first movie we’ve seen in quite some time. I’m glad we did, too. It was really an enjoyable movie and certainly grown up from the original. The movies, like the books, are doing well to keep… Continue reading Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

Happy Thanksgiving

It’s that time of year again when Americans join family to gorge and sleep…in that order. There’s also the ceremonial loosening of the belt to make things comfortable. It’s also at this time of year that I hear a lot of people complaining about spending time with family. I’m thankful to not have such an… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving

Team in Training

Some friends of mine, Brandon Smith and his wife, are running in the Arizona marathon on January 15th. They’re raising money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, so it’s not just insane excercise but also a good cause. The donation site lists their progress and training goals along the way. As of October 8th, they… Continue reading Team in Training

The Apprentice: Trump vs. Vader

Very funny, though I can’t say that I agree with Chewbacca’s release. Check out the trailer here and watch the show tonight. **UPDATE:… Continue reading The Apprentice: Trump vs. Vader

Trading Spouses: The Eclectic Edition

I didn’t even see the whole thing, I just came in for the finale. The gist was that they put a fanatical Cathoholic woman into the home of… Continue reading Trading Spouses: The Eclectic Edition

Broken Promises

Promise Technology, Inc. has proven to have some of the worst technical support in the world. It’s widely accepted that Promise’s ATA RAID controllers are among the best, but what good is a great controller if there’s no one to back it up in case of failure? My onboard RAID controller died so I purchased… Continue reading Broken Promises

The Master: 12-inch Figure (WARNING Choking Hazard)

On Halloween night I won a costume contest when I made an appearance at the local “Coffee Shop of Horrors.” I was dressed as Chewbacca, and as faithful readers know, pretty darn realistic. Balthazar took place with his costume of a macaw, which Amy did a very good job in making. As a prize for… Continue reading The Master: 12-inch Figure (WARNING Choking Hazard)
