OK, so this may be a bit of old news, but I am just getting to it now :) There is a new expansion coming to the Star Trek Online MMO which will feature the romulans as a faction that players can play. No much is known yet, but the developers have put up an Q&A blog post that has been quite informative. What I am hoping for is some new content.  I ground through the Federation

I've been going through all of the Star Trek series on Netflix and on Amazon Prime, going through and re-watching (and sometimes watching for the first time) episodes that I had seen a long time ago. Recently I finished the Original Series (wow...it was more campy that I originally remembered!), and all of the original cast movies.  Before I moved on the the Next Generation I decided to go and

Over the weekend I finished off Mass Effect, which I had gotten as part of the Mass Effect Trilogy a while back.  As you might remember, I started playing other games on my Xbox while I was trying to complete Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops on my PSP. This is the second game I've finished on the xbox...and I have barely made a dent on Portable Ops. I am not at one of the Bosses (Python)

I am wondering if I will start using this instead of Apple's notes app now that I have an android device, along with my iPad and 3GS (used as an iPod and backup phone).

This isn't new news, but while I was blogging about other things, I decided to mention this as well ;-) A short while back I finished off Fable II.  While I was playing MGS Portable Ops, I didn't want to start the next metal gear our of chronological sequence.  That said, I finished fable II pretty quickly, all things considered, and I am  still stuck on MGS Portable Ops. In any

Well, this is probably old news, but a while back I got this note from LinkedIn saying that my profile was among the top 5%.  Pretty cool! I must admit that I was simultaneously creeped out, and delighted that I was that "popular" on the web.  I am wondering what that says about my personality.  I am also wondering, in the grand scheme of things, what this 5% means.  Maybe for

Come on Google!  What the heck?  >:-( I was checking my NERCOMP (local conference) tweets a couple days ago and I saw some buzz around Google Reader.  I decided to not pay too much attention to it because of lack of energy due to a cold.  Yesterday I saw that Google Reader is shutting down.  Come on google, what the heck? Google Reader is Powering Down? Google Reader

Last December (or was it last summer?) I bought the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection which came with MGS 2, MGS 3, MGS: Peacewalker, and the original 3 (top-down) Metal Gears.  Oddly enough, there was no Metal Gear Solid (PS1 title) included in this. I decided to play the games chronologically, starting with the game that was furthest in the past, and that was Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The

Over the past month or so a few shows (that I watched) have had their series finales, but I haven't had much time to really write about them.  I thought a quick abstract of each would be good, just for posterity purposes ;-) Fringe I have to say that I really liked fringe! I wasn't quite sure where it was going during the first season. It seemed like the X-Files for a new generation with the

I was reading my email this morning and I got a note from Microsoft telling me that they are trashing Windows Messenger and keeping Skype in it's place.  The truth is that I haven't used messenger in quite some time, but with Windows 8 I was looking forward to having it run in the background so I could use it for messaging (sort of how I have iMessage logged into my Yahoo, MSN Live, and AIM
