Much like my 2006 trip to Comic-Con, I started out by getting lost trying to find the Mission Valley trolley station. I got to the convention center a little late, just before noon. Unlike my last visit I decided to skip most of the panels. I go for information and… Read more“Tales from Comic-Con, Day 1 (Thursday): Kind of Familiar”
Anyway You Want It
“Here’s a YouTube tale with a happy ending: Filipino singer Arnel Pineda (pronounced “pin-eh-daâ€) posted footage of himself performing Journey covers with his band the Zoo and was discovered half a world away by Journey guitarist Neal Schon, who was trolling the site for new blood. Schon got in touch… Read more“Anyway You Want It”
Miscellany
It’s hard to imagine that in less than twenty four hours I’ll once again be jetting off to San Diego to visit the family. Here are updates on recent goings on before the San Diego/Comic-Con stuff fills the blog. Over the weekend I did Rock Band’s endless setlist on hard…. Read more“Miscellany”
Diving into the New with Dr. Wadley
MU lost one of its best faculty members last weekend. Dr. Reed Wadley had been fighting cancer for the past few years all the while doing what he could for the department. Dr. Wadley and I arrived at MU in the same semester. As I ran around trying to make… Read more“Diving into the New with Dr. Wadley”
Any one else find it odd that the iMacs at Ellis Library boot into Windows? I mean why spend the money to get Macs when they’ll just mimic a PC?

I can rest easy knowing that I’ve graded thousands of exams and my part in all of the projects I’ve been… Read more“Mission Accomplished”
Singing, Strumming and Standing Still Games
My birthday wish came true when my family conspired to get me Rock Band and an Xbox 360. Kind of… it’s almost a month later and I think the statue of limitations on hijinks has expired. Well, what really happened is that I couldn’t take it any more after my… Read more“Singing, Strumming and Standing Still Games”
Hero in A Half Shell
One morning started off ahead of schedule (point A on the map). I needed to go to the supermarket (B) to pick up a lunch for work so I woke up early. Maybe too early. I was half an hour early as I left Gerbes with a sandwich from the… Read more“Hero in A Half Shell”
The AMA Alliance Sounds Stressed, Maybe They Should Smoke A Cig
“Shame on ‘The Incredible Hulk’ for unnecessarily adding smoking to a sequel that would have been just as exciting and believable without it,” said Dianne Fenyk, President of the Alliance. “Universal Studios and the other Hollywood studios should be especially embarrassed for using comic book movies, which they market to… Read more“The AMA Alliance Sounds Stressed, Maybe They Should Smoke A Cig”
Rainy
It’s about time for me to sleep but I’m on the internet searching. For what? I don’t know, but I think I’ll go to bed disappointed that I didn’t find whatever I was looking for. I have some blog posts to write, about my past birthday and the wonderful things… Read more“Rainy”
