Hell is other people. Be warned, this is a little ranty. And by little, I mean it’s just a rant. I “run” a fleet (guild) in Star Trek Online. I use the quotes because, for the most part, we’re a pretty laid back group. We don’t organize raids (not that Read more…
Books and movies are often linked. For many blockbusters, a book will be written to be released with the movie. Many popular books get made into movies (note to movie studios reading this, Aristeia would make a great set of movies). Whenever this happens, you will hear people say either Read more…
For the last year or so I’ve been running as part of my effort to lose some weight and get into a shape that is not round. It’s gone reasonably well as I can now get through an entire 5k without stopping. I’m not fast, as it takes me almost Read more…
I have another rant against Cryptic today. Seems to be a growing trend. This rant is about their recent addition of the spacesuits from First Contact. Like most Star Trek, STO did not have any need for space suits (environmental suits) for most of its run. Its not something you Read more…
Some of you may have seen me complaining about Comcast on Twitter last week. So I thought I’d explain the full extent of their suckiness. For a long time, my internet has had a tendency to not work at random times. It will just go out for a few hours. Read more…
Seriously people, why can’t you compress your files into a .zip file like everyone else? Anyone can open a .zip file. But I can’t open a .rar file without getting a separate program. I don’t want to install random free program with who knows what attached to it or buy Read more…
I’ve been playing STO lately since it is more forgiving for limited time. I’ve mainly just been running DOFF missions once or twice a day, but occasionally having enough time to do a STF. I managed to get the MK XI MACO set thanks to a fortuitous shield drop plus Read more…
I worked in a restaurant for 6 years through high school and college. I wasn’t primarily a waiter, but I did do it on occasion. And I of course worked with many waiters/waitresses/servers (whatever you want to call them). Tips were their big source of income. But I personally find Read more…
I’ve never been a huge fan of purple. Nothing against it, just wasn’t my favorite color. Unlike pink, which I detest. Until Attack of the Clones came out. Now, we’ll avoid talking about the prequels except to say that Mace Windu’s purple lightsaber just looked damn cool. I don’t really Read more…
This is going to be one of those posts where I don’t try to be reasonable and polite. I do apologize in advance. Give me universal, single payer health care and give it to me now. This idiocracy of private health insurance is just so ridiculous it boggles the mind. Read more…
