    Another day, another disabled escalator at Copley Place. Aside from several MBTA stations, I can think of no other place on my travels around the city of Boston that has broken down escalators more often than those in the Copley Mall. Considering this is supposed to be the ‘trendy’ mall for the city, you’d think…

    In the past week or two, someone took it upon themselves to update the gallery plug-in I use. Lazyest Gallery I have updated the plugin on the backend and everything seems to be working appropriately thus far. This comes just in time for Botcon, but thats a story for another post. Enjoy the galleries!

    The soda vending machine at work has been broken since Monday. Most know that I do not drink anything carbonated (except beer, as infrequent as that is). This still holds true, but occasionally I will buy a bottle of water from the machine. This is where you chime in and say ‘Water? From a vending…

    I’ve been making a determined effort as of late to clean my room. Some may think that just a matter of fact and not of much relevance. Its important to note, however, that I film all my Powet.TV videos from the confines of this space and presentation is very important in the filming process. Not…

    I have just watched what has to be one of the most inspiring lectures I will ever listen to in my life. Randy Pausch is a professor at Carnegie-Mellon University. He has done a lot in his life. He was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He has somewhere between 11 to 15 tumors in his…

    The other night I had this dream that I was on a ranch or something out in the mid-west maybe. I had this sprawling house, like in Casino, seemingly in the middle of all this land. For whatever reason, I was preparing for some sort of show. When I went outside in back, there was…

    This weekend, Brendan, Thanh and I all went to a antique and collectible toy show in Dedham. It took us about 30 minutes to determine that no dealer at the show was selling anything we were interested. If I paid more than four dollars to get in, I might have been upset. We decided to…

    This is a bit of a rant, but I needed to get it out of my system. There are two types of people in fandoms based around franchises. The first type is the fan. The fan is a member of the fandom who really enjoys the franchise. By that, I mean they are actively engaged…
