A Longing for Hackery
Aug 18th
Last night I watched Parasite Dolls on Netflix. Wow; what a bad Anime. I gave it two stars, but during the scenes when the hacker was working on his computer I felt a deep loss in my heart. It’s been about 2, maybe 3 months since I last logged into my Fedora partition. I fear that I may miss out on Fedora 13 by time I get it working. It’s a very long story to tell, but one of these days I’m going to take some time out of my busy schedule and fix my computer.
In the meantime if anyone has a motherboard that’s similar to a BioStar TA690G AM2 5.x – contact me. I think I broke mine. :’(
Slightly Used Xbox 360!
Jun 17th
Oh man! I finally get my grubby little hands on a next-gen gaming console and NOW I can’t even find the time to play it! It’s kind of eating me up inside. I do have certain family-related responsibilities so it’s an eternal battle between good and evil, yin and yang, Vader and Luke! On the lighter side, the kids are getting great use out of it because of our Netflix subscription. They have an endless library of kiddie shows to consume. The wife and I can watch old movies and whatever else is available in my “instant queue”. On the darker side… I’m just not playing as much games as I’d like.
The American Food System Sucks!
Apr 7th
The wife and I finally got a chance to look at some documentaries on the American food system. Through the magic of Netflix, we rented King Corn and Food, Inc. If nothing else, it’s been a gigantic eye opener into how much control we must have over our own lives. Americans still think that the government is always on their side or doing what’s in our best interest. This isn’t always true, it’s a fine line, especially with the food system. Because Americans demand cheap food, the government is literally providing cheap (as in quality) food.
