If Windows 8 was a Star Trek Movie
I’m typing this on my brand new Laptop. Said Laptop came with the dreaded software bug, otherwise known as Windows 8. I HATE Windows 8. It’s clunky, it’s interface is designed for a touch screen (vs. designed for a full on computer), and it’s extremely unintuitive (I had to make a short cut to the control panel because it’s so buried), and it’s changed so many standards that we’ve come so familiar with (coughs – start menu!). A friend of mine said if Windows 8 were a movie, it would be Star Trek V: the – oh I can’t even remember the name of that crappy movie. Just that it…

Writing Sample
WordPress: Simply the Best Content Management System (Freelance client project – internally used) WordPress is the most widely used content management system on the internet, powering 34% of all websites. Compare this to WordPress’s closest rival, Joomla, which only powers 2.9% of all website. What a difference! The reason webmasters love WordPress so much has everything to do with versatility. You can create anything with WordPress. Want to start a personal blog? WordPress works perfectly for this task. Do you design a fortune 500 company’s website? WordPress works wonders – just ask companies like Xerox, Microsoft, Target, and Sony. Couple the versatility of WordPress with a host of plugins and…

Stand in the place where you are…
R.E.M. is calling it quits. I don’t blame them – they’ve been at it for a long time, and even lost a member several years ago. I’m happy to know that they’re not going to be amongst the oldies but moldies (cough, The Rolling Stones). At the same time, I feel saddened – like a dear friend decided to move away to a place where I can never visit. I’ll never see them live, and they’ll never produce another album. But instead of mourning, I’m choosing to remember all the memories – and oh, there are so many memories of R.E.M. My first memory of R.E.M. is from the late…

Big giant robots killing eachother.
On all my social networking sites, I’ve mentioned I was going to go watch Micheal Bay spit on my childhood for the third time. Regardless of Bay’s past indiscretions (and there are many), I still slapped down my ten bucks to go see Transformers 3. Call it an overblown sense of nostalgia, call it a sadomasochist tendency, or call it just plain curiosity. Well, I’ll get this out of the way: Transformers 3 is not going to win any Oscars, nor should it. However, for me, Transformers 3 did not suck. Transformers 3: The Dark of the Moon had a thin plot-line to say the least. The characters were so-so,…

I hate it when that happens!
So, some of you may have seen a half written article about video games. This was nothing more than a draft, and was never meant to be seen in it’s current state. It’s got bad grammar, missing points, and needs a ton of editing. So what happened? Well, a month or so ago, I started writing it, and instead of save draft, I hit publish. So….being the optimist that I am, I unpublished it by putting a publishing date, thinking I would have this story finished by the time it went live. And then I forgot I started writing this! Yep! So….maybe my next post will be a bit more…
