E74. You sank my Xbox.

After just over a year of dedicated service, last Friday Xbox #2 decided it only wants to display an error screen that features the code E 74. Seems like there may be another heat related failure issue plaguing the Xbox 360. Joystiq has compiled some “less than scientific” evidence as a means of tracking the […]

wireless networks and modems

Moving into my parents house where my dad uses Verizon DSL and an Airport Extreme base that sits up high in his closet. All this works fine on his end of the house but it’s sketchy on my end. I get about one bar in the hallway and 0-1 bars in the computer room. When […]

Metaphorically appropriate

More like Mass Hard-on!

I just finished this game and immediately started playing it again. The genius of it is that you can make good conscious decisions in one game, and then decide you want to be a complete jerk in another. I think I’ll start a new character and have him be really really nice all the time […]

Halo 3 User Experience Testing

Wired was invited behind the scenes to scope out the lengths to which Bungie has user tested Halo 3.

The day the iPhone dropped

Lenox mall in the ATL, Apple store.  Amazing number of people showing out to get the new iPhone.  A buddy here at work picked one up yesterday.  I must say, it is very impressive.

end of an era

This week, Netflix will be sending me the last three videos in my queue.  So ends my dedicated membership of about 34 months, and something in the neighborhood of 1500 DVDs (estimate).  It’s strictly the neighborhood video store from now on!
I’ve got to say, I’m looking forward to it.  Netflix is a killer service, to […]
