While I’m somewhat incapacitated with some seasonal allergies, I thought I’d take a few minutes to write about the movie I just watched for the first time since it was in theatres 10 years ago: “Alien: Resurrection“. I just read a fairly lengthy interview with Joss Whedon on the Onion’s AV Club and thought I’d [...]
That’s right. The mostly absent Jackson Publick updated his blog this week giving a few tantalizing details. The good news is that my favorite science genius and his two crime-fighting sons are going to be back on a screen somewhere in the not-too-distant future. Maybe in the new year or something.

Last night was a rare and special treat. Jacob was in town on one of his many cross continent adventures to see the Jimmy Swift Band and I tagged along finally, having missed them on his previous several visits. They did not disappoint. The small venue had a few enthusiastic supporters and the band performed [...]
Y’know? The goods. Products. I went looking for some music the other day and came away empty-handed. Best Buy and the Future Shop keep terrible music on the shelves.

Back in the ’90s, there were two games for me that represented everything a video game should be. They should be cute and utterly, unapologetically violent with a degree of frustrating difficulty. The first of these games was the now legendary “Lemmings”. Debuted on the Amiga in 1991 (ref. wikipedia), it was some time before [...]
The past few nights, I’ve been trying to hook up my iPod to my Xbox to get some LCD Soundsystem out of my speakers while playing the new 3D Ultra Miniputt on the Xbox Live Arcade. This is usually a pretty trivial thing. The past few nights however, I’ve been plagued by the inability to [...]
