I have mixed feelings about Velvet Assassin. While I did enjoy the the game, it’s hard for me to recommend it to anyone who isn’t a serious stealth action fan. Despite it’s open world appearance the game offers little more than a distinct linear path that requires following....

Introduction At the end of each month I like to take some time and write about what was great about it. You can call this action what you want — stopping to smell the roses, appreciating the simple things in life, taking stock of the present time — regardless of what you want to...

For reasons I’ve just recently written about, these past few months have been a very real time of reflection for me. With trial after trial finding it’s way to family and my own personal faith and health issues needing accounting for, the past 5 years have been anything but a walk...

I hope Micheal J. Fox will forgive me for stealing his title — I just find it to be very appropriate. If you had asked me five years ago what my “five year plan” entailed, in brevity, it might have sounded something like this: Get a better job, purchase a house, and start...

Not too terribly long ago I overheard two people discussing the supposed “Christian” end of the world. One asserted that the Bible was/is a tale of bulls*t and that the supposed God ordained end of the world would really be man self fulfilling his own eschatological prophecy. The...

I’ve toyed with the idea of giving up blogging before but I could never bring myself to quit. With the dawn of mirco blogging it would be easier to focus on Twitter and Tumblr and not have to worry about putting content together for a fully hosted website. Sadly I’m seeing this...

Well, that didn’t last long. A task which I was excited to start out with earlier in the year, taking a photo everyday for all of 2011, turned out to be a life changing lesson for me. That lesson: I’m really not that into photography. I enjoy snapping images of my troops and...

Tropico 3 is different. In a predominately first person shooter and third person adventure dominated console game world, the top down “Sim City” style game play was a refreshing break. Between managing industries and balancing the happiness of your citizen’s various factions...

If there is an area I feel I may be lacking as a young father it would be the area of discipline. (Truth be told, I feel I’m lacking in more than a few ways, but that’s neither here nor there for this post.) It’s been my observation that just about every dad falls into one...

For a Arcade game originally released in 1992, X-Men Arcade has done very well in standing up against the test of time. Released to Xbox Live Arcade nearly 20 years after it’s original incarnation, to appropriately review the game you really only need to ask one question: “Is the...

So I happened across this Mr. Clean advertisement while net surfing the other day: My first reaction was to be offended by it — after all, hasn’t our society matured into a place where this type of stereo typical, sexists, advertisement should have no obvious impact on the...

This film was made possible thanks to the generosity of real Canadians and Americans whose lives have been touched by melanoma. These are not actors. We cannot thank this group enough for sharing their stories with us. Source Although I’ve previously wondered what a time traveling Paul...

Well, it’s that time of the month again. My cell phone is angry with me cause it’s running out of storage space and I’ve got a ton of images to share. Here’s what my phone and I were up to last month. Click on any image to view it’s full size.

Beautiful words by the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay: “Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly; In my own way, and with my full consent. Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarely Went to their deaths more proud than this one went. Some nights of apprehension and hot weeping I will...

I’ve been searching for a valid excuse to stare at boobs for just about my entire life — finally a reason has appeared. According to a German study involving 500 men (seriously Germany, you could have asked me to volunteer. It would have been a better study with 501 men) actually...
