  • Motorola X – Not the Cheaper Nexus

    So, I am listening to the Motorola X announcement, and while it looks like a great mid-range phone, I’m sad at the separation that Motorola has said they have between themselves and their owners, Google. I knew the specifications of the phone for a while, and it seemed pretty decent. I was hoping that the… Read more

  • Sigma Mount Conversion

    One of the most interesting things that any third party lens developer has ever done was just announced. I didn’t think this was possible, but Sigma has decided to create a program that allows you to send in your lens, and have them change which lens mount it is using. If you are switching from… Read more

  • WordPress Products versus Services

    So, there has been a small but substantial swell of frustration at Woo for changing the pricing on their themes and plugins. You can read their post here: A Sustainable WooThemes. The argument most people are making is similar to the following: You can’t increase the price of a product after you sell it. The… Read more

  • Holding a Baby

    Since my mid-twenties, I’ve wanted to be a father. Yesterday, I got to hold a baby for almost twenty minutes, and I’m not ashamed to say that it really kicked things up a notch when it comes to my emotions regarding a child of my own. You hear about women having a ticking fertility clock,… Read more

  • Watching My Weight

    So, despite not eating the best over the weekend, I’m still, albeit slowly, trending downwards. My goal, right now, is to lose the weight I’ve gained over the last year, and get back into the 260’s. I am currently sitting around 283 pounds, which is a drop of around five pounds since I jumped back… Read more

  • Quick Second Class Supers Update

    So Annie and I have just put the twenty-second “page” online for everyone to read, and I’ve copied all of our content to a single document to see how long it would be, and it extends outwards to seventy-six twelve point font, 1.5 line height pages. For those that are interested, this means we’ve published… Read more

  • Second Class Supers – Page 22

    Read Second Class Supers – Page 21 Sunday morning, Kya found herself back at work. Thankfully, most of the staff didn’t have to work weekends, and it reminded her of the overnight shifts that she had lost. With her hair a little less cared for, and her more comfortable clothing, everything felt more relaxed than… Read more

  • Second Class Supers – Page 20

    Read Second Class Supers – Page 19 As the evening wound down, Kya excused herself and returned to her room. Turning on her display, she programmed her on demand video service to play through random science fiction shows that had been released in the last five years. Kya felt that it was great background noise,… Read more

  • Caffeine

    So, for the last few weeks, I’ve been having a can of Coca-cola each day as my caffeine source, much like people drink coffee each morning. The advantage of this is that it gives me a bit of pep, as I’m not a morning person, and I enjoy the taste of it. Unfortunately, it has… Read more

  • Weight Loss Again

    So, since I stopped actively working on my weight loss, I’ve gained back nearly twenty pounds out of the thirty that I had lost last year, and things that weren’t tight are now tight again. I could go on about all the excuses of why I gained back the weight, but the main one is… Read more

  • Kingston and Back with a Cousin in Tow

    So, this past weekend, Annie and I made the trip up to Kingston where we visited some family, and then returned back to Georgetown, but not without bringing my cousin, Kyle, back with us. He will be staying with me for two weeks in my little bachelor apartment. It is not the roommate situation he… Read more
