Standardize If you're doing the same thing more than once, do it the same way each and every time!  Arg... WMF Exploit
Wow, what a yucky exploit.  This bug, I mean feature, wait no, exploit is driving me nuts.  WMF exploits have been around for a long time and are starting to get old.  Isn't it about time that... Games & Gifts
So its been a long time since I last asked for video games for x-mas.  Usually I just buy them when I want them and ask my family for things like books, dvds, clothes, etc.  This year I decided... GameSpot Developer's Union
Just because its something that's fun to do, some of us here as GS have been joking about the GS local 301.  So in spirit of having fun and getting developers out to the public, we started the... Union Images
So I just launched union image uploading.  You can now upload images for your union's icon & banner if the union has been established. Enjoy! Holiday confusion...
I don't know if its just me and my family, but I find holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas very confusing and chaotic.  I love that everyone gets together and spends time together.  Its great... My morning's hunt for an xbox 360
Whew, what a morning.  At 4:45 this morning, the beeeeep of the alarm went off.  Slam went the snooze...  Beeeeep said the alarm at 4:55.  Ugh said I. So I got to Best Buy at 5:25 this morning to... I decided, I'm going to G.A.M.E.
So at first I wasn't so sure about this.  I'm not a hard-core gamer so I thought it wouldn't really be my thing.  But man-oh-man, have I changed my mind.  There's a lot of talk here in the office... Ah, the sweet smell of laziness
FYI, I'll be on vacation for the next couple of days.  So far my plans include wine tasting with the father in law, playing Civ 4 (now that I bought an extra Gig of RAM--stupid memory hog),... Comments
I don't know if anyone cares or not, but I've changed my prefs to allow comments to my blog entries.  I didn't mean to turn it off, so now its back on. I've decided I hate my car ... Part 2
Yes, my car really does suck.  I just had the right rear tire fixed (stupid nails on the road).  So what do you think happens?  On my may to the doctor's today, while getting on the freeway, the... I've decided I hate my car
A few months ago I traded cars with my wife.  We did this since she commutes to work while I drive 3 miles to the BART station.  Now I'm driving a '99 Mazda Protoge while she's driving the '03... It's here!
Wow, I never thought I'd ever think of the US Post Office as fast, but they beat the Nov 7th delivery date of Civ 4 by a long shot!  I haven't been this happy since...  Hmm...  Well, since I... What the heck was I thinking?
So weeks ago, I started to get excited about Civ 4.  I knew I'd be busy with the redesign and wouldn't be able to get some serious playing time in until November so I ordered online from Amazon... Profile page / Blog entries
I've updated the caching on the profile pages. You'll now see your blog entry/edits/comments immediately after you submit them. I've also changed the caching to only display the cached page... Hurricane Katrina
I've been debating whether or not to post an entry on this or not. It doesn't really fit the theme of this site, but I've finally decided its an issue that can't be ignored. The devastation of... TiVo
Everyone already knows that TiVo is probably the greatest invention for TV since the TV itself. This is an interesting article about how now TiVo is in a museum. TiVo for tourists? (News.com)... Les Miserables
So I saw Les Miserables in San Francisco at the Curran Theatre last Saturday night. It was incredible. The lead performer was simply amazing. I know the show closed in San Francisco on Sunday,... I hate the never-ending shows...
So I was reading this morning that they are not positive yet that the next season of the Sopranos will really be the last one. And to think that I thought last season would really be the end. ... Who am I?
I figure this is the best way to start off my blog. I'm not a very creative writer (I'm a programmer darnit!) but I'll try to at least make sense. I may or may not keep this up-to-date mostly...
