David Gemmell’s Druss the Legend This past week has been a busy one, but sometime over the past week or two I picked up the second book about Druss the Legend in David Gemmel’s

I need to check out 紅虎餃子房 or 万豚記
According to Famitsu, the restaurants 紅虎餃子房 and 万豚記 will have SF4 themed menus from 2009-02-12 to 2009-04-12. There are a bunch of either of those places in Tokyo, so I should be able to find one. Didn’t look like there were any in Shibuya though. Also you get a card with a QR code and […]

Joe Haldeman’s “The Accidental Time Machine”
On Sunday I picked up Joe Haldeman’s “The Accidental Time Machine”, a novel that I had ordered because Amazon told me to buy it. When Amazon tells me to buy something, I usually listen because it knows what I like. (But then again, I’m biased!) Anyway, by Monday evening I had finished reading it. It […]

Recent Running and Hidden Raves
Run around the Imperial Palace Run near home I just found out that there is a running club where I work. Nice. I joined up and the first run of the year was on Friday. Generally the club meets for dinner at 9:30pm, after running. People run at their own pace, so you have to […]

I really hate Zangief
Actually, Zangief is totally my favorite character. I love him. This guy apparently doesn’t though. A rap from Balrog / M. Bison’s point of view. Really funny. Man, I want to go play some SF4.

Review of John Scalzi’s Android’s Dream
I became a fan of John Scalzi when I read a book of his that Tor gave away as a free ebook: Old Man’s War. After that I read The Ghost Brigades, and The Last Colony. That took me through the “Old Man’s War” series, except for the new still-in-hardcover Zoe’s Tale. So, I’ve really […]

The Mystery Jets and The Kooks
Last Thursday, R. and I went to see The Mystery Jets. We’ve seen them maybe two or three times now. I like them; they have good rhythms, nice hooks, and are pretty clean. They aren’t one of my favorite bands, but they are good and I enjoy listening to their stuff. Of course, they are […]

Crayon Physics Deluxe Menu The level select GUI is cool too Pivots! They are part of Physics! Make your own pivots! I recently bought a new game, Crayon Physics Deluxe. In the past three or four years, I’ve bought maybe three or four games: the Orange Box (for Portal mainly – I haven’t gotten anywhere […]

Let’s Talk about Bathtubs
My bathtub is a lot smarter than I expected. It has a nice little spout thing that doesn’t get in your way. The spout can shoot water out to the left or to the right. There is a control panel where you can set the temperature of the water, and the bathtub will re-circulate water […]

Review of David Gemmel’s Legend
While I was busy reading and buying the Caine series of books by Michael Stover Amazon recommended that I read David Gemmell’s Legend (Drenai Tales, Book 1), so I added that to my cart to await an opening in my reading schedule. A few weeks back I started reading Legend, and really enjoyed it. I […]

Another brief roundup: cheap ebooks, cool indy games, and a neat graphics library
This is another post mostly for myself so I don’t lose track of some interesting looking things. First up, cheap $1 ebooks from Orbit. It looks like this publisher is selling one ebook per month at $1, which is a deal that you can not pass up, even if the books are DRM-encumbered. I’m seriously […]

Time Capsule Finally Working
So I have had a 500GB Time Capsule for a while. I am really impressed with it as an automated back-up device for Macs. I run two Macs at home, a three-year-old (and a bit) Mac PowerBook G4, a year and a bit old MacBook Pro (Intel, but not the latest all from aluminum one) […]
