  • Saints Row: The Third

    My cousin and I have beaten the third Saints Row game, and I must say, as much fun as it is, the story is a bit weak. The second game definitely felt more epic in scale, but not as wild and crazy. It is like the restraint went out the window on this game, but Read more

  • Job Titles

    So, I know job titles don’t really matter in some respects, but in the more traditional job market, it can have a huge effect on your potential career progression. Recently, I had a little back and forth about the difference between a Web Programmer and an Application Developer and how it relates to one of Read more

  • Photography Gear Obsession

    It is hard as a more technically savvy, and less artistic hobbyist photographer to deal with feeling like I have the “wrong gear” for a situation. Next week, Mark and I are going to Toronto to flex our photography muscles, and in the skyscraper world that is Toronto, I wish I had the ultimate wide Read more

  • Driving?

    As the winter settles in, distances when walking just seem to stretch out into the infinite and I feel like it takes forever to get anywhere. Add to that the feeling that I’ve “seen everything” in Brockville, I’m getting a little stir crazy. Sometimes I actually miss having a car. I have a feeling that Read more

  • Training Opportunities at Work

    So, I am hoping that in 2012 my work will pay for me to attend some conferences or take some training and I’m trying to come up with ideas. Companies like Learning Tree seem a bit crazy in prices, and the local college doesn’t offer much of use in my current field. I am not Read more

  • Free Idea: Public Photo Portfolio Builder

    Here’s an idea I had. Feel free to build it or whatever. While I had the idea, I don’t have the funds required to make this a reality or a success, so if you can, feel free to have at it. The user comes to the site and creates an account. They then allow the Read more

    There is no excerpt because this is a protected post. Read more

  • Moving…

    I want to move. I don’t want to live where I am anymore, but I don’t know how long I’ll be staying in Brockville, and the idea of getting stuck in a one year lease when I don’t know if I’ll be here for another entire year is very stressful to me. Also, while there Read more

  • Work, Work, Work

    So, I’ve been crazy busy with work. I took a week off around my Birthday, and it was great, but at the end of the day, I don’t really feel like I took any time off. I am busier than ever, as I take on more project management responsibilities while still completing my normal stable Read more

  • Star Wars: The Old Republic

    So, I know a fair number of people that are going to play the upcoming Star Wars MMO, and I am one of them. I can’t wait to play the game. I’ve tested the game on two different Beta periods, and have enjoyed myself immensely. This is the game I’ve been waiting for since I Read more

  • Updated Christmas Wishlist

    For those wondering about what specifically I’m looking for this Christmas, here’s an updated list. Hopefully, it will make it easier for those of you that were hoping to get me something off of my Birthday/Christmas list that has already been taken.
