Today was a great wrap for PAX East. Having spent day’s one and two focusing on games, I decided to spend time time taking picture of the various guests dressed in costume.

Day Two of PAX East 2012

The second day of PAX East had as much energy as the first if not more. While Saturday’s tend to be the most heavy for a show like this, the crowed seemed pretty on par with the previous day.  Today was a chance to scout the floor out a bit to see titles that caught [...]

The Life and Times of a Digital Musicologist

Musicology – the study of music. Digital Musicologists: Online Music’s Tastemakers was one of the panels I attended today as SXSW Music continued its weeklong experience.

This recent post I made about midseason television shows sparked some interesting conversations in the office about some of the new DVR solutions that are currently available.

A Solid State Hybrid Drive a Gamer Can Cuddle Up To

One of my favorite questions to ask myself when being presented with something new is “Why Should I Care?” I don’t ask it to be rude or insulting, but I do want to know the value or importance of something and how it could impact my life.  It’s a natural inclination, right? We all want [...]

Gaming in the Clouds

In my heart of hearts, I’m a gamer. I have been since I was a kid and my mother bought my father an Intellivision. It was something I took to almost immediately. He did a great job playing sports games with me, but with scores like 84-7 in football, I figured it was going to [...]

Thoughts on the vision of Steve Jobs and Apple

I wasn’t a fan of Apple products – at least not when I was a geeky-teenager growing up in the 1980s. I loved my IBM Turbo XT clone, which had no hard drive by the way and instead used two 5.25” floppy drives. Part of what I enjoyed about that computer was the feeling that [...]
