I remember a blizzard hitting Chicago when I was a kid. Specifically, I remember the snow nearly reached the windows of our apartment (we were in the middle / main floor of a brownstone. So you had to go up one small flight of stairs), and that...
I said I’d do it, I warned you – you didn’t listen, did you? Well, now it’s TOO LATE! THE RETURN OF THE PODCAST IS HERE! Episode 9 of the All Things From My Brain Podcast is here. In this weeks massive, DOUBLE SIZED...
Episode #4: All Things from My Brain In the fourth episode of the All Things From My Brain podcast, I talk about the 1st anniversary of the Apple App store, a couple of public radio aggregators for the iPhone and iTouch, Dig Dug for the iPhone...
Episode #3: All Things from My Brain In the third episode of the All Things From My Brain podcast, I talk about updates on the blog this week, updates on life in general, the trouble with last weeks podcast and Comcast, the launch of a new Flash...
I love Blizzard, I really do. I think they do so much to keep their user base entertained, engaged and coming back for more. The one area where I feel they fail utterly is: population control. Let’s paint the picture for you: you’ve...

Day four started just about the same as Day Three – I overslept. I have an alarm on my iPhone that’s set for daily – I forgot that doesn’t include Saturday – it’s just Monday through Friday, so it never...
Blizzcon. Wow. What an event – it was Huge. And so many people! I started my day later than I planned due to the night before. I was to meet Hukari as I had his pass and he couldn’t get in without me. Only, I couldn’t...
Okay, now that I’ve settled in, I want to talk about my vacation. It’s going to be in multiple parts as I think this is the only way to do it without an endless rant of paragraphs. Day one was all about traveling. Woke up not so...
