Wizard101 just had there last wipe before open. As a thank you to their beta testers after this last wipe, all beta testers received 600 "crowns". "Crowns" are the real money currency for the game. With these 600 crowns beta testers were able to purchase a cool looking dragon pet that will be unavailable after Sept. 2. The "Pioneer Dragon" is a simple pet for looks and as a symbol that you

Court Date - Decision on Disability

2008-08-18T06:59:00.003-05:00

Sorry so long posting. I had a very busy week, for me, and an ear infection has kept me away.Last week, Wednesday Aug. 13th, I had my court date in front of judge to decide on my disability application. I think it went fairly well. Now its just more waiting. Been waiting for 33 months so far, so another 4-6 weeks is not too bad. Generally will have a decision within 4-6 weeks but that's no

NBC Olympic Debacle

2008-08-10T07:52:00.002-05:00

It's things like this that really makes me hate our U.S. media cartel. It's sad but true fact that the U.S. media withholds information, leaves out important stories, airs political and commercial "news" stories, commentary and opinion pieces as news, and filling the news with just what will draw ratings. The problem is all the U.S. news is owned by major corporations whose only concern is

Where Did He Go?

2008-08-08T21:27:00.002-05:00

Speed Racer

2008-07-28T18:02:00.003-05:00

Wow, long time no post.Yesterday I got a chance to see the Speed Racer movie. Now I haven't seen any of the old television show but as a Science Fiction/Fantasy/Anime/Acton fan; I know what the show is about.I had heard a lot of mediocre reviews were given and it did not do good in the box office compared to the Wachowski brothers previous Matrix films did but that said; the movie was awesome.

BoneKickers

2008-07-14T16:42:00.003-05:00

Just ran across another interesting BBC show, Bonekickers. Bonekickers is another creation from the mind that brought you "Life on Mars" and "Ashes to Ashes". The story line follows a group of archeologist who uncover artifacts and trace their history.In the first episode the team uncovers some artifacts that shouldn't be in England, Syrian coins. This discovery leads to evidence of the

Burn Notice

2008-07-12T09:00:00.002-05:00

Thursday evening brought us the season 2 opening of Burn Notice. Overall I was kinda of disappointed. Not because it was a bad episode, no because it was not a season opening episode. The whole episode just felt like any regular old episode from season one with just the introduction of this new group and lady's voice that wants him to work for them. It was a decent episode compared to a

Hell's Kitchen Finale

2008-07-12T08:28:00.002-05:00

Been quite some this week but here's a couple posts for you to browse.HELL'S KITCHEN FINALETuesday night was the final episode of Hell's Kitchen.

Wizard101

2008-07-02T16:39:00.002-05:00

I have been been help beta testing a game called Wizard101. This game is scheduled for a third quarter release(July-September). This game is very fun and has nice visuals and great attention to detail. The company was created three years ago with some high level talent and this is their first development.

Disabilty Aplication Update

2008-06-30T14:48:00.002-05:00

Finally after 2 years and 7 months of applications, doctor visits, appeals, and waiting for a court date for a judge to decide on my case, I finally got some news. I got a call end of last week telling me a court date has been finally set.Its not till August 13th but the end of this ordeal is in sight, just hope don't get denied yet again.

I Survived A Japanese Game Show

2008-06-30T14:13:00.002-05:00

Finally got a chance to watch the I Survived a Japanese Game Show premier episode. I find the Japanese culture and their entertainment endlessly fascinating. So I found this pilot episode very entertaining and interesting. The contestants thought they were going to Los Angeles for a new reality show. Once they arrive they are then bustled from one end of the airport to the other end and put

Wipeout & Hell's Kitchen

2008-06-25T11:03:00.003-05:00

Last night saw the first new game shows, "Wipeout" and "I Survived A Japanese Game Show" (ISAJGS). Unfortunately they moved up the release of ISAJGS and it was competing for viewers with Hell's Kitchen, which is down to the final 3 last night. So I missed ISAJGS, hopefully will have a review later this week.Last night, "Wipeout" premiered and was a good funny family friendly show. The

Firefox 3 Guiness World Record

2008-06-19T08:13:00.004-05:00

I am an avid fan of Firefox. It is a good program, lots of extras for true customization, and its not Microsoft owned. Microsoft has done a lot for the computer world but they have become to greedy of late. So anything that works as well or better and is free especially, gets my attention. Mozilla released Firefox 3 yesterday. There was a campaign running up to the event asking people to

Earn Extra Cash Webpage

2008-06-18T08:29:00.004-05:00

I have a small web page detailing a couple programs that can help you earn a little extra cash. Well i was rechecking my site yesterday and realized I had majorly goofed. I figured out why the Reward1 banner wouldn't show and also learned that I had encoded the PrizeRebel banner improperly and that it didn't link to the appropriate site. It should be working correctly now, be sure to refresh

Hell's Kitchen

2008-06-18T07:52:00.003-05:00

Two new posts today.First is last night's Hell's Kitchen episode. Last night we were down to four contestants. Cory, Christina, Jen, and Petrozza. Christina won last nights Challenger, yet again. This time the prize was a $1,000+ clothes shopping spree at Lisa Kline's with Lisa herself. Jealousy reared its ugly head in both Cory and Jen with both of them commenting that the reward was wasted

The MiddleMan

2008-06-17T12:13:00.005-05:00

The Middleman televsion show premiers.Last night saw the first "real" summer television show. The Middleman premiered last night on ABC Family airing at 7 p.m. Central. ABC Family has had a decent record of late of bringing new and unique shows for the summer viewing crowd. The commercial for The Middleman had me worried that this would be a less than serious attempt at a true summer offering

TV Summer Lineup

2008-06-06T10:04:00.003-05:00

Summer is on us and with it comes a season of reruns and old movies. Luckily the networks are starting to realize that their is still some money to be made from summer series and that their are still people out there who are looking for something good to watch during the summer months. This list is by no means extensive but it a list of my picks for the "best of" or "promising" shows.The Mole -

STUPID TENNESSEE GOVERNMENT AND POLITICIANSI was born in Texas. I have lived in Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee, Ohio, Colorade, Oregon, Washington, and a little bit in California. Texas, California, and Iowa were when I was very young and I have no memory of those places. Though through my Dad I retained a love of The Houston Oilers who are now the Tennessee Titans which is even better. Tennessee

TV Links site is dead. The site was shut down the Oct 18th.For full story - TV Links Shut Down This makes me sick. When will the idiots of last decade learn that this is the technology age and you have to change with it. I understand the upset of posting movies, thats not what steams me.

Sick and Tired

2007-10-05T17:00:00.000-05:00

A few quick notes and a couple unique offers. I have been sick for the last week.I came down with some flu like bug. Sore throat, stuffy nose, cough, body aches, slight fever, and feeling of drowning due to problem breathing. I'm finally getting over the crud, a week later. Still not 100% but hopefully will be back in the swing of things shortly.Now a couple offers I have run across this past

Shortly after the start of the 1 hour show, Tony's car was blown up with him in it.

Monday Night Review

2007-09-25T10:11:00.000-05:00

So yesterday I said NBC had it sown up with their line up of Chuck, Heroes, and Journeyman, was I correct?Chuck was awesome, if they can keep up the quality of show that I saw last night; Chuck is going to be a great hit. There was not one moment that the story felt rushed, pinched, or bogged. The show hit it on all cylinders, it was a great view. It was nail biting, edge of seat at times,

2007-09-24T16:16:00.000-05:00

Commercial Rants

2007-09-10T16:34:00.000-05:00

Am I alone in my disgust with todays television commercial market. I'm sure most people have at least seen a decrease in commercial production. Some recent prime examples that are just awful.1. The "So Easy A Caveman Cab Do It - Geico Commercials"This is one offender, that while awful took a turn for the worst recently. On top of over playing this commercial to no end, they are now producing a

Random Thoughts for Today

2007-09-10T16:18:00.000-05:00

First random thought. I am SICK & TIRED of those DirectTV commercials. They are full have half-truths, misleading information, and out right lies in some cases.The biggest one is DirectTV is cheaper than cable. The monthly fees may be lower BUT once you figure in the equipment cost, instillation costs, and the required 2 year contract it is not really cheaper. Not for a t least 2-4 years.Then

Mardi Gras

There are few people who haven't heard of Mardi Gras but do you know the reason and origin of this event?Mardi Gras (French for Fat Tuesday) is the day before Ash Wednesday.

The month of February while the shortest month of the year, as well as the only month with a changing number of days, is about to close. For such a short month February has a few events and quite a bit of importance.Feb. 2 - Groundhog Day The day when Punxsutawney Phil (say that 5 times fast) shows his face in Pennsylvania to let us know if there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

I have been doing a little movie watching the past week or so. I just finished watching MirrorMask. The movie is awesome, though not for everyone. I would not recommend it for younger children 10 and under. (Well duh it is a PG-13) If you are artistic, like to paint, draw, write, craft, etc. or have a friend who does this is a must watch film. To miss seeing this film is a crime. The

I often have random thoughts or odd news or the occasional funny I like to share with friends. With blogs being popular I figured it was a great way to share the weird, odd, funny, or just plain unusual with more people. I must warn you this blog will have some very odd and weird stuff but I promise to try and keep it PG-13 at worse.
