If you don’t like Star Trek already, you’re going to hate this even more.
We’ve all come a long way since 1963, though as it stands, the human race still has a lot of growing to do. Progress, for the majority it seems, takes time. After all, it wasn’t until 1986 that the government decided that there should be a holiday in remembrance to everything Martin Luther King Jr stood for.
I mentioned in a previous article that I would one day cover DRM, or Digital Rights Management. With SOPA on the rise, there may be no better time. Those who know me are probably surprised that I’m even sharing my views on politics, but for someone who uses the internet heavily and has his own blog…this is kind of a big deal.
WARNING: Do not read the below if you are easily offended. At the risk of lessening the impact of some of my points, I, as a courtesy, replaced the expletives with more (or less) appropriate words to make the article more family friendly. If you feel the need to entertain yourself, see how many you can spot. Anyway…you’ve been warned.
There are people out there that can tell you how many gigawatts a flux capacitor needs to send your video card back to 1985 and then there are people who look at a computer and just want to know how to ”make it go.” Luckily, you don’t have to be Christopher Lloyd to be able to use a computer…it’s a lot easier than you think.
So you’re in high school and you’ve decided you want to try your hand at making a few bucks by making an honest living. Maybe you’re a college student that’s about to graduate and you’re about to embark on a career path that can shape the rest of your life. It could also very well be that you were let go from a job due to cutbacks and you’re looking to get yourself back into the game. In any case, you’re going to want to draft a killer résumé to get someone’s attention.
Nothing strikes fear into a person’s heart more than those four dreaded words. They rank right up there with, “The toilet overflowed again!” and “Hey, Baywatch is on!”
Hello, El Presidente. Are your loyal subjects…ermm…citizens revolting? Are you constantly running out of money? Can’t beat one of the scenarios? You’ve come to the right place. Have a cuban cigar and follow me, won’t you?
The crew of the Enterprise is tired. So tired in fact that Captain Kirk is asking for backrubs from his first officer and becomes embarrassed when one of his hot yeomen step in instead.
2012 is upon us in all its glory via another sparkly ball that drops in Times Square, Manhattan, NY. It’s rather fitting that the city that has a reputation of having a giant attitude problem invented the world’s slowest T-bag.
Just dropping a quick line wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
Think you know your games of video? Below are fifty quotes found in various video games…see if you can name what game they were featured in. No googling or cheating. If you feel inclined, share how many you got correct in the comments below or in the post with the answers found here:

Everyone has heard of SimCity right? The game where you spend hours building vast empires using residential, commercial, and industrial zones coupled with schools, hospitals, and stadiums only to narcissistically watch your sims flee in terror from the Godzilla disaster you unleash when you’re ready to start fresh with a new map?
