If you don’t like Star Trek already, you’re going to hate this even more.
Personal
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!”
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.
Behind the Sword of Truth lies the Seeker, a person destined to kill the evil Darken Rahl. In this television series based on “The Sword of Truth” fantasy novels by Terry Goodkind, Richard Cypher discovers that he is destined for greater things whether he likes it or not. Aiding him in his quest is a beautiful “Confessor” named Kahlan Amnell who has the power to make others do her bidding with a simple touch and a “Wizard of the First Order”, Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander.
It’s that time of year again. A time for people to go out en masse and trample each other to death as they rush into their local Wal-Mart looking for that last minute gift for their kids. A time for people to stress over spending money they don’t have to satisfy the family tradition of exchanging gifts with people they don’t even talk to that often. A time for that unlucky person to spend two hours washing dishes after cooking all day to host the family dinner. Yes, friends…the end of another year is upon us. Joy to the flippin’ World.
Being a Vulcan is a lot of work. They are expected to stay cool under pressure, calculate pi to three hundred places, and put up with William Shatner’s over-exaggerated acting skills.
There’s talk of a possible nationwide ban on the use of cell phones and other electronic devices while driving. This would also include phones that sport the “hands-free” feature. I won’t bother boring everyone with detailed information about who is recommending what but I at least wanted to share my thoughts on the subject.
The working lower / middle class get the crap end of the stick. They make just enough money that they don’t qualify for any form of assistance but hardly enough to live comfortably. Some people combat this by going to school in the hopes that a degree will earn them a better paying job or by working insane amounts of overtime. Is it really beneficial however to work all those extra hours?
The year was 1966 and the Batman television series was running strong. Twice a week we (or in some cases, our parents) were treated to Burt Ward backing up Adam West with both his boyish charms and his quotable, “holyisms.” Someone decided however that corny fight scenes and facepalm worthy dialogue weren’t enough so they made a movie. Did the movie hold “Bat-water?” Hold on to your utility belts…we’re about to go for a ride.
