Dark Side of the Carton

On Friday I caught an article on arsTechnica that mentioned that Cisco bought Scientific Atlanta. It is quite a stunning move, but it shows you that Cisco knows what kind of market the living room business is about to become. They mention that Cisco needs to call Tivo right away and try and license or [...]

Gas prices are finally dropping below the $2 mark after spiking to $3. I can’t say that it is a bad thing. I just wish they would drop back down to $1.50 or so. I love the fact that everyone is rejoicing for $2/gallon now like it is a bargain or something.

Possibly one of the worst things ever is having really good Mexican food, a nice Texas sized burrito to be more specifically, and forgetting your to go container at the table. We had Perico’s last night and it was my first time there. Perico’s is the yellow restaurant on Bandera just past Prue. The food [...]

Next week marks the official launch of the Xbox 360 and since I run a gaming site in my spare time I was hoping to score a 360 from Microsoft. It looks like my wish just might come true. The word I have is that it should arrive sometime between today and Friday. Man I [...]

Last night the Spurs took on the Hawks who are currently winless this season. The Hawks came out playing like the defending Champs and the Spurs like the yet to win team. Al Harrington dominated the quarter with 22 points as the Spurs trailed 31-18 after 1. For the entire 12 minutes I think my [...]

I was going to write a nice long rant about this article, but I decided that it was ultimately not worth my time. Everyone knows the MPAA is evil and a bunch of rabid morons and I really don’t know how many more times I can say that without getting tired of talking about them.

I attended a local VS 2005 launch at the New Horizons center here in San Antonio today. I have to say that VS2k5 has some huge improvements in the areas of ASP development for the web. Master pages aka templates and the ease of utlizing dynamic data sources such as XML and SQL Server make [...]

My musical tastes are quite unique and really run the full gamut of genres. Recently I was introduced to a new take on the Reggae genre. A friend told me about an artist named MATISYAHU. Matisyahu is a Hasidic Jew that creates some of the most moving and fantastic music that I have ever heard. [...]

I caught a story first thing this morning about a 25 yr old British man that appears to have cured himself of HIV. He tested positive in 2002 and tested negative the following year. If this is true, it could be a huge breakthrough in the fight against HIV/AIDS. So far he has refused to [...]

Sony has apparently caved under public pressure regarding the use of the controversial “root kit” DRM software present on thousands of Sony BMG discs. I can’t say that I am surpised. I am glad they came to their senses on the topic.
