Saturday, March 15th, 2008 at 4:26 pmIt has been kind of a “blah” week or two for blogging and gaming. I have not played much of anything lately, but plan to get back into Uncharted and purchase MLB 08 The Show (PS3) in the very near future.
Last weekend I did see a couple of great John Wayne movies in HD (I […]

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead (Toshiba kills HD DVD)
Saturday, February 16th, 2008 at 5:21 pmWe (that is those of us longer for a universal HD format in the form of Blu-ray) have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Finally, Reuters is reporting that Toshiba is giving up on HD DVD.
“The move will likely put an end to a battle that has gone on for several […]
Blu Monday
Monday, February 11th, 2008 at 8:11 pmTwo more significant wins for Blu-ray were reported today by blu-ray.com (and I am sure many other sites.
First, Best Buy will officially recommend Blu-ray over HD DVD:
Brian Dunn, Best Buy’s president and chief operating officer commented, “Consumers have told us that they want us to help lead the way. We’ve listened to our customers, and […]
PS3 streaming iTunes AAC files
Monday, January 28th, 2008 at 7:59 pmThis is not going to be very pretty. I have spent too much time trying to get my PS3 to stream my iTunes music files. Looks like it is not going to happen anytime soon, which sucks because the PS3 is supposed to be some sort of centralized, all-in-one media and entertainment gizmo. […]
Posting snafu.
Monday, January 21st, 2008 at 3:15 amI am not sure if yesterday’s title mishap (of course last night was Sunday NOT Saturday) was a result of:
Three day weekend; must have thought it was still Saturday night.
Sleep deprivation; I am up with the baby, writing this at 3AM, which has been the norm over the last two weeks.
One two many glasses of […]
Feeling Blu
Sunday, January 20th, 2008 at 4:18 amAmazon has been running some really nice Blu-ray sales. Disney 50% off sales, buy two get one free (forget the studio, but obviously not Universal or Paramount), and last week up to 53% off of 200+ different Blu-ray movies.
I used this as an opportunity to pick up a few different movies that I have […]
Mr. Mom (no so much)
Saturday, January 19th, 2008 at 10:26 amThe last couple of weeks have been a lot of fun for me (not really), but it is not so much about me as it is about my wife; she had a new ACL inserted in her left knee January 8. For her, all I can say is ouch. I think she is on the […]
Middle aged gamers get a new voice.
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 at 1:50 amCheck out Kevin Mosley’s new Middle Aged Gamer site. I would do a better introduction, but it is late, I am tired, and trying to get the baby back to sleep. Besides, Kevin’s work does not really need an extra push form me.
Kevin, congratulations on the new site!

Warner is all Blu
Saturday, January 5th, 2008 at 9:34 pmI guess this is old news now, since it was posted yesterday, but according to Blu-ray.com Warner will be going 100% Blu-ray in a few months.
“The window of opportunity for high-definition DVD could be missed if format confusion continues to linger. We believe that exclusively distributing in Blu-ray will further the potential for mass market […]
Christmas (the day after stuffs edition)
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007 at 9:50 pmMore random goodness to get you through the week; you know you need this stuff.
The kids got a Wii, complete with Madden 08, Wii Play (for the extra remote and nunchuk), LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga, and Super Mario Galaxy. I have only had about 10-15 minutes with Wii Sports, but hopefully the kids […]
Christmas Eve
Monday, December 24th, 2007 at 2:49 pmWishing you and yours a very merry Christmas! A few random thoughts before we move on to Christmas time.
Sierra Pro Lives Again. No idea how or why, but the gun cocked fine yesterday morning, which made for a fun filled day of shooting paper and plinking. Alas, no squirrels, but still plenty of fun.
The Sierra […]
Might as well WoW.
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 at 10:37 pmWhat do you do when your air gun is broken, you do not get NFL network, and the Bowl games are crap? You play some World of Warcraft! My gnome mage just hit level 39.
To be honest, I would rather punch paper or watch the Cowboys, but a little time with WoW along with a […]
Blu-ray blunder with Pirates; Disney to the rescue.
Friday, December 21st, 2007 at 9:35 pmA few nights ago I stumbled across a story at Blu-ray.com that described a minor problem with Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Blu-ray release.
To be honest, I do not think I would ever notice the problem. I have not even watched any of my Pirates movies, but I figured what the heck, I need […]
The drive to 10K (and beyond).
Monday, December 17th, 2007 at 9:49 pmJust noticed that I am inching closer to 10K spams to hit (or try to hit the site).
Akismet has caught 9,947 spam for you since you first installed it.
While I think it is very impressive that Akismet has caught so much spam (very little gets past it), it is very pathetic that so much spam […]
