Announcing AugieShoots.com

January 1st, 2009

This is one of my top posts ive read today! Read about it: AugieShoots.com is my new photoblog.  Each day in 2009, you’ll see a photograph I made using my trusty Canon dSLR.
Now, I’m not one of those crazy Flickr types who promises to take a new picture every day.  That kind of madness inevitably leads to photos of the author looking into the bathroom mirror by day 40.  (I don’t discount the possibility of engaging in a self-portrait at some point this year.  I gleefully sign my own photo releases, after all.)
No, AugieShoots.com will have a new pic every day for 365 days (thank goodness 2009 isn’t a leap year), taken at any time.  You might see a pic taken the day before.  You might see a pic from the previous year.  And I might even mine the pictures currently on my Flickr account for material.  I’m throwing everything I’ve got into this project.
The goal is to make myself a more prolific […] Hope you Enjoyed this HDTV informationrmation Blurb

New DVD Releases for 30 December 2008

December 29th, 2008

This is one of my top posts ive read today! Read about it: Join us one last time as we attempt to squeeze out one last 2008 release week long after anyone gave up caring:

Eagle Eye

Most notable for being the movie that sponsored the free wi-fi at the San Diego Comic-Con this last summer, as well as starring that “Transformers”/”Indiana Jones”/Please-Dear-God-No-Not-”Y The Last Man” kid, Shia.

Resident Evil: Degeneration

Now do you see how desperate I am to fill up space for this week’s installment of new DVD releases?!?

Beethoven’s Big Break

OK, no, NOW I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel. Yes, it’s a sequel to that dog movie.

Secret Life of the American Teenager, The

It would seem their secret lives involve nakedness and canoodling and impregnation.

Early “Guitar Hero: World Tour” Thoughts

December 29th, 2008

This is one of my top posts ive read today! Read about it: Early thoughts on “Guitar Hero: World Tour:”

I started on Medium mode this time around.  GH3 gave me enough experience that I thought starting on Beginner or Easy mode would be too mind-numbing.  I was right.  Medium is relatively simple, but has its challenges: keeping your concentration through 400+ notes is one of the biggest.  The occasional interspersed fourth fret throws you off when you’re not used to using it.  And yet it’s “easy” enough to really get into the rhythm of the music and find your GH groove.  There are some tricky combo moves, though, that keep me on my toes.

So, you have to play sets of songs (2 to 4) to advance on this system, and not just a song at a time? Weird.  Well, I mean, you can not do the career mode and just practice a song.  So it’s still available to you.  But it is different. […] Hope you Enjoyed this HDTV informationrmation Blurb

Some end of week links

December 26th, 2008

This is one of my top posts ive read today! Read about it: Grrr, I had to go to work today.  So I’m just throwing some quick links at you.  Hope your holidays were fun, though.

John Malkovich’s “Twas the Night Before Christmas.”

If you, like me, were gifted with Boom Blox for the Wii this Christmas season, here are the cheat codes you might like to use.

And “It’s a Wonderful Life” is not so wonderful.

Best and Worst New Logos of 2008.  I like the Pepsi typography.  Not sure the image works. Most of the rest of not all that shocking.  Interesting to compare and contrast, though.

What did you learn this Christmas?

December 24th, 2008

This is one of my top posts ive read today! Read about it: I learned that traveling to two different family Christmas celebrations isn’t difficult. Traveling to two different family Christmas celebrations with an 11 week old baby is exponentially trickier.
I learned that Christmas Eve Eve is the night men invade Macy’s to get a last minute Christmas present without tipping their wife off that they waited until the last minute.
I learned that you shouldn’t do last minute Christmas shopping on-line at a web site you haven’t bought anything off of since you moved.
What have you learned this year?

Last Minute Tweet Compilation

December 23rd, 2008

This is one of my top posts ive read today! Read about it: Things are going to be slow here this week for the holidays, so have some recent Tweets to keep you reading:

Baby is crying. I suppose I should get off Twitter and pick her up, eh? I’m a good Daddy.

My wife didn’t find my Tweet about the baby crying to be funny. Hunh. Go figure.

Finished wrapping wife’s Christmas presents. Doesn’t look so impressive all of a sudden. ::sigh::

You know the phrase, “up your nose with a rubber hose?” The doctor did that to me today. Damned odd feeling. Sneezed an hour later.

@gordontheintern - Wait till you have a kid. There is NO MORE sleeping in. EVER. I think I’m tired and cranky on that point.

You’d think starting a new blog would be easy. NO. There’s too many templates to adjust. (Details to come in the next week or two, folks.  Promise.)

I’m not a Lensbaby […] Hope you Enjoyed this HDTV informationrmation Blurb
