I’ve been riding a bike to work for the last seven years (I also try to get in 3-4 20-30 mile rides after work each week) and here are my insights.

I have one friend on Discord that always says “BURB” when he’s stepping away from his mic. It mildly annoyed me at first, but I’ve gotten used to it. I mean if I can get used to pre-teenage boys screaming the “N” word into my ear during an Overwatch match I can probably get over a friend saying BURB to let us know…

I was all excited as I have been looking for a nice adjustable computer desk... Went to order it, but they don’t ship to Alaska. =(

Sweatpants, that’s what they’re called. I had forgotten and always just called mine my lazy pants.

Grados, they’re not for everyone, but I love the pair I’ve had for nearly a decade. I also have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-A700's that I use when gaming. They’re nearly a decade old and still sound fantastic and are huge enough to fit over my ears while being comfortable all day.

Power Grid is great fun, it’s been in my board game groups rotation for a while now while the premise doesn’t sound all that enthralling the actual gameplay is a great combination of strategy and luck and screwing over the other players occasionally. The other games in our rotation lately have been Pandemic, Project…

I thought these super old gifs would stay dead and forgotten... but no, someone had to mine the depths of some archived GeoCities pages... you brilliant bastard.

I scrolled down looking for someone to post the first Megaman box art and was not let down. Looking at at that cover I wonder if it isn’t so horrible that it actually transcends into some kind of kitsch box art greatness. Whatever high school freshman art class Capcom stumbled across to find that piece of art, the…

It’s breaking my brain, which is convinced everything looks too perfect and it must be a 3D render.

I’ve got a handful of beta’s that still are on my list after the full version of the game came out. Left 4 Dead 2 beta is one of those, that’s about the only reason I could think of deleting a game. Otherwise the hide feature works fine.

I made the mistake of not emptying the syrup from the bottle before using it with my dog. Any tips for diabetic dogs?

I have a couple thumb drives I keep in my bag. One is a 32GB drive full of files and running portableapps.com on it so I've got all my important apps I need in one place in case the computer I'm using doesn't have the software I need. The other one has Ubuntu on it between those two I can usually take care of just…

Working on an infinity mirror using an Arduino UNO and WS2811 Addressable RGB LED (lots of solid guides on Instructables). The trick is I want it to have a few patterns it runs through, but have the option to hit a button (or maybe use an old IR receiver and remote) and using either a line in or piezo mic have it be…

Is Nintendo hurting that bad for money? The only reason I can think of that they wouldn't allow broadcasting rights of a game tournament featuring one of their old games is that they somehow expect to sell the rights to stream video of their games. Sort of like how they tried to monetize all the videos on youtube…

I've been a huge fan of The Camelizer plugin for most web browsers for seeing price history of items and setting up notifications. When you're on a page on Amazon or NewEgg it pops up a camel icon in the URL bar in chrome, click the icon and it brings up a graph showing price history on the item. It's a great way to…

Not a vote in the slightest as it's so old and out of date now, but I've had an original Infocus X1 for over 10 years now. It was super handy when I was doing a lot of house sitting as I could plug in a game console or my laptop throw the image onto a bare wall and be set up for playing games or watching movies with…

My big frustration has been with the other IT people I work with who rail against Windows 8 and how "impossible" it is to use. Sadly it just makes me realize how many people in IT just don't really understand computers and also apply the whole memorize the process while not understanding the underpinnings of the OS…

I take care of my cardio in the mornings (5:30am), with a 60 minute bike ride. I was doing it in the evenings, but there were too many calls from friends or other things going on to get it done regularly. Now I ride 4-5 days a week in the mornings, I never get interrupted, the streets are a little less busy and if I…

The handful of programs I use all the time are pinned to the task bar on the desktop. So I rarely use the start menu, I don't see the new start menu as an abomination, but working in IT, my fear is we have tons of people who don't understand computers and everything they've managed to do at this point is through…
