Where is the “X-Port”

I have a PSP, and I’ve heard of the GameBoy Advance (3D even), so where is Microsoft’s portable X-Box?  I like the name “X-Port,”  it kind of plays against the iPod/iPad meme, but definitely has that MS feel to it. Anyways, I don’t do “console games,” since if I’m going to game at home I’d much rather use my awesome gaming rig PC, but I would dearly LOVE to have a great portable gaming device that would allow me to play my PC games while away from home.   As yet, … Continue reading

Disconcerting

So I find it really odd how uncomfortable I am with empty bookcases.  Suddenly I feel like I need to look stuff up and dig into my boxes of books to find something in particular, even though I’ve never noticed feeling that way over the past year or so! LOL – it must be psychosomatic.

New Career – Farmer?

And not even a Gold Farmer, LOL.  With the distinct possibility that I won’t be able to find a decent IT job anytime soon, the prospect of moving up to my Mom’s farm is looking not only interesting, but even attractive.  I’ve always wanted to start up a garden nursery, and with her land, which includes irrigation rights (basically the water is “free” due to the property taxes levied in that rural area). Currently there’s just a small orchard on the property, leaving appx. a full acre that is absolutely vacant … Continue reading

Hectic Week Done, Play On!

It’s finally Friday, and what a week it’s been!  Tons of stuff at work to do, due in no small part to my impending leave of absence, and also on the home-front trying to get at least some things done in preparation for the upcoming move at the end of April.  I also did quite a bit of job searching and actually submitted a few applications for those that seemed tenable with my qualifications. Besides all of that, I have found a couple hours here and there to relax a … Continue reading

Stress Overload

With the impeding move to yet another state (from AZ to UT), I’m getting both excited and stressed out about getting everything done in time for the move (at the end of April). So in the mean time, I may not be posting here very regularly until sometime in May when things have (hopefully) settled down again. As far as gaming goes, I (finally) ditched my EVE Online accounts for now, so the only active sub. I’ve got going is for Warhammer – and I’ll probably be chopping that at the … Continue reading
