    Got another video up for Powet.TV. I’ll talk about the move in another post, but one of the priorities after move-in was to get this video edited. I don’t think it came out too bad. Its pretty obvious what parts I refilmed and what I kept from the drab monotone original take.

    Year to year, I have to admit, I’ve had some pretty good birthdays. Part of this might be due to summer weather or no school or one of a dozen other reasons. Last year kind of sucked. Things were pretty busy and I didn’t think about it until it was too late to plan anything.…

    I have this semi-new self-imposed rule that I have to take a picture of any new toys in package before I open it. This is for several reasons. It gives me less incentive to hold on to the packaging for future reference. It also allows me to build an easy to access image archive of…

    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 finally taken that large leap that I’ve been saying I wanted to take for quite a long time. No, I have not quit my job to live off the fat of the land…yet. I installed Linux on my laptop! I know, not quite the huge leap you were expecting. More like the thing…

    I have returned from Botcon 2007. It was totally awesome. The movie was amazing, the dealer room was overpriced, and I bought a lot of stuff. Good times were had. Let the multimedia extravaganza begin! I uploaded most of my photos to the galleries. Its under Botcon2007. More to come!

    This year I will be attending Botcon 2007, guaranteed to be the best Botcon ever. Especially considering there will be an early screening of the movie and enough hype around the franchise to make it more than just another convention on the summer con circuit. Botcon 2007 will be my sixth Botcon, having gone every…
