Net Neutrality – Stop Expecting Google to Do Your Job!
So in the last week there’s been a lot of fuss online about net neutrality. It’s a debate that’s been dragging on for months (years?), but the recent announcement by Google and Verizon of a proposed framework to address net neutrality has brought it out into the open. As far as I can tell with the exception [...]
The Hobbit Animated Movie, Review
Image by ProfessorMortis via Flickr I’ve been on a bit of a Tolkien kick recently (in all honestly I’ve been on a Tolkien kick for my entire life) so I thought I’d watch the 1977 animated tv movie of The Hobbit. I went into this knowing that I really wasn’t the target audience for this [...]
Sherlock S01E03 – The Great Game, Review
Absolutely bloody brilliant! The third and final episode of Sherlock was the best of the series. The first episode was excellent and the second okay, but this one didn’t put a foot wrong for the entire 90 minutes. I have to admit I had my doubts going in. Mark Gatiss recent Doctor Who episode hadn’t [...]
Eureka S04E05 – Crossing Over, Review
I reviewed Warehouse 13′s crossover episode earlier and now it’s time for Eureka. Not surprisingly the aptly named Crossing Over uses the same two characters as the focal point of the titular crossover. And why not, they’ve developed a nice chemistry together. As I mentioned in the previous review these two shows have a similar [...]
No Knead Dinner Rolls Recipe
I was inspired to attempt these dinner rolls because of the promise that they were quick and easy with no kneading required. And I’m pleased to say that the recipe largely lived up to that promise. The resulting rolls were a little heavier than I’d hoped for, so I still have a little tweaking to [...]
Warehouse 13 S02E05 – 13.1, Review
Warehouse 13 and Eureka are two of the SyFy Channel’s hottest shows, so it makes sense to cross them over right? Well it certainly does to the marketing department anyway. But does it make for a good episode? Actually yes it does. Fortunately both Eureka and Warehouse 13 have a lot in common stylistically. While [...]
Sherlock S01E02 – The Blind Banker, Review
I heaped glowing praise on the first episode of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes. So what do I think of the second episode, The Blind Banker? Well, sad to say it isn’t as good as the first episode. It just lacked some of the spark. That’s not to say it was [...]
Eureka S04E04 – The Story of O2
After 3 very strong episodes Eureka tosses out a throw away one. The Story of O2 could have happened in just about any season of Eureka. There are a few mentions of the changed reality, but they are mainly extraneous to both the A and B plots of the episode. They even came close to [...]
Configuring JuiceDefender for Android
After my previous post about how JuiceDefender dramatically improves the battery life of Android phones, I received an inquiry about the many different settings that JuiceDefender offers. Well I don’t pretend to be an expert but I can offer some insight on the settings I’m using. Easy Mode First off, if you don’t want to mess with a [...]
National Credit Relief Agency Scam
When I picked up the mail this afternoon, there was an official looking letter addressed to my wife. Usually official looking letters are bearers of bad news, so I handed it to her as soon as I got home. Turns out this one was from an organization called the National Credit Relief Agency. The letter [...]
Sherlock S01E01 – A Study In Pink, Review
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most over exposed characters in all of fiction. He has been invented, killed, revived, reinvented, mocked and copied in magazines, books, theater, radio, movies and tv. So how on earth do you do anything new with him? Well one option is to twist his character to fit more of [...]
JuiceDefender – Improve the Battery Life of Your Android Device
I’ve been using JuiceDefender for several months now to help extend the battery life of my Droid Eris. One of the biggest criticisms of all the Android phones has been the short battery life. Giving the multi-tasking capabilities of the Android OS this isn’t really that much of a surprise. But it is a problem. [...]
Eureka S04E02 – A New World
In the first episode of this new season of Eureka, the writers basically spent the entire time setting up a new reality for our protagonists. At first I wasn’t sure if this was going to be a one week thing, but it seems it will at least span the season. And on the strength of [...]
The Thanos Imperative #2 – Marvel Comics
If you are a comic book fan and you haven’t been reading Marvel‘s “cosmic” books for the last few years then you’ve been missing out on some of the most entertaining stories in comics. At some point when I get a quiet moment I’m going to do a re-read of Annihilation which was the event that kicked [...]
