How Important is Ergonomics to You?
Jan 27th
Recently due to abnormally high winter activities in Georgia, I was “snowed in” for the majority of that week. Luckily for me I can remote into my office and continue working (maybe not so lucky, eh). I didn’t like working from home, but I could never really put my finger on why. Well; after experiencing the same routine at my home office, for roughly 4 days, I soon realized what the problems were.
Epic Rap Battles of History
Dec 14th
Wow!!! I’m blown away with this EPIC BATTLE RAPS OF HISTORY series. I love the beats and these guys have some solid lyrics. These videos can be found on Nice Peter’s YouTube Channel. He’s collaborating with Lloyd Ahlquist and many others to bring these rap battles to life. I stumbled upon Peter, I think from Kassem G, and immediately subscribed to his channel. It has pretty cool music and good entertainment.

Facebook, the New AOL
Nov 7th
I’ve been meaning to get this analogy off my chest. That feeling has become more apparent when I try to explain this concept to my friends. My very first experience of the Internet was through American Online. I must have been 15 years old, living in my parents house, and not having very much money. My brother and I would spend hours on AOL surfing the web and playing mechwarrior within the safe restraints of the AOL application. “You Got Mail” would ring ever-so-often and we’d chat it up with our other cellmates in various child-predator-rooms chatrooms. It wasn’t until a coworker at Walgreens started referring to AOL as “the Play-play Internet” that I realized that I may have been in a Matrix and didn’t know it.
My First D&D Encounter
Jul 13th
Wow! I am a changed man forever! It’s a bit of an overstatement, but that’s generally how I feel about this fantasy table-top game. I’ve tasted the sweet nectar of Dungeons & Dragons and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. A couple weekends ago I met up with some D&D players in Marietta, GA and played for about four hours. Within those four hours, to my surprise, all the D&D stereotypes were confirmed. It was an epic experience for me and I certainly look forward to more encounters as I level up in real life.
Be warned that I am going to make fun of EVERYTHING! It’s all in good fun, though. I had a great time and I have enlisted with my new Band of Brothers- my Campaign Desperadoes- into the mysterious world of D&D players.
Whatcha’ Say!?
