I did a little bit of shifting around in my gaming landscape last month, most notably discontinuing Lord of the Rings Online (for now) in order to pick up Age of Conan which was meh as far as I’m concerned – so I promptly dumped AoC in favor of a return to City of Villains. EVE has been running in the background, mainly just keeping up my training there – haven’t run any missions or done any serious mining for awhile, but I can see a return to EVE in … Continue reading

Well I’ve been trying to put together my FSX/TileProxy/FRAPS videos together into a singular “music video” type format to upload to YouTube and all I have to say so far is that it has been somewhat of an exercise in frustration. FSX and TileProxy work fine, FRAPS works fine, what’s being a thorn in my side is the video editing lack-ware that I’ve been trying to use – namely Windows Movie Maker (which is pretty lame) and some version of Nero that came with one of my DVD burners (and … Continue reading
If you’ve been keeping up with the new music I’ve been listening to, you know that I’ve got an ear for foreign rock music. (Rammstein, In Extremo, Heimataerde, Eisbrecher, Megahertz, etc.) And now I’ve happened across something completely different – for me at least.

So far I’ve bought albums from several different artists in this genre: Nightwish, Within Temptation, After Forever, and Coronatus. I probably like Within … Continue reading
I’m on a quest for a gadget. What started me on this quest was my recent exposure to Audio-Books, where I discovered that my current MP3 player (which I got for $14.99 from geeks.com, I think) does not support WMP-DRM/Audio-Books. What I really like about this el-cheapo mp3 player is that it does A LOT of things higher end player either don’t do, or do poorly. a) it uses and plays from the SD-card b) you can create folders on the SD card and it will play just from that … Continue reading
I’ve been in Prescott for just over a month now and have gone to several of the area restaurants. There are a lot to choose from, however very few make my “many happy returns” list – mainly due to price, but some are just plain bad. And there have been a few good surprises too… So here’s my run down of the local eateries I’ve been to with “star” ratings; 5 = Awesome! 1=Poor (nobody has got 5-stars yet): Cattleman’s Bar & Grill *: This was the first restaurant I … Continue reading
