Konami’s VRC6 and Castlevania 3
I’m a big fan of chiptunes. You know, those bleeps and bloops that come from the older game consoles (C64, NES, etc.). Obviously, I have to be a fanatic if I’m building a MidiBox SID. But I digress, while browsing the MidiBox forums I ran across an interesting discussion about …
Diet Coke & Mentos. It works.
Yesterday I finally got to set off some Diet Coke & Mentos fountains. Corey and I were at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago looking at things for Making Perfect Scents and I found a Diet Coke & Mentos kit hanging by the register. It came with the loading tube, …
New vote topic and more updates to PhotoDawg
So I should be sleeping right now, but, well, it’s been a crazy week and I haven’t been sleeping well. So, instead of tossing and turning, I thought I would do some work on the website. First up, a new vote topic! I figured I would make things reflect the …

Gumbo, Movies, and Cars (UPDATED)
I have to admit, it’s not even over (though almost) but I’ll go ahead and flag this weekend as pretty awesome. On Saturday I got called in the morning for a work related issue (I’m the guy on call this week). That took a good 4 hours and, while it …
Warhammer’s EULA makes me not want to play
You would think EA would have learned something with Spore, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say they didn’t learn a damn thing. Warhammer Online was launched a few weeks ago and while there are the usual bumps that one sees with a new MMO, there’s …
