10 Games that have stuck with me through the years

Posted by in Games, Random Thoughts

My friend Brad Heitmeyer recently challenged me to list the top 10 games that have stuck with me and had some effect on my life. I felt that this would make a decent blog post so here it is. Because the list was so long (over 30 titles) I have cut out some of the iconic games that just didn’t form a strong bond with me, if I can’t remember myself playing it, it didn’t stay; and I had to cut the games from the last 10 years because it’s…read more

Craig's List Scammers

Posted by in Random Thoughts

I decided to try and sell my old laptop on Craig’s List, I didn’t want to bother with eBay because it seems everyone on there is from another city/country and they all want things shipped.  This seems like a great way to get scammed, so I thought I’d just sell it locally.

Great addon!

The shower that just came across the city was so quiet and a straight downpour, it was like thunder rain without the thunder.  The sun was at the perfect level to create a pinkish sky, which was really cool.  I took a couple pictures but Windows 7 doesn’t have a x64 driver for my TI card reader.  I noticed about 30 other people in other building also standing out on their balconies looking at the rain; It was really something.
