Apprentice Rank Insignia This weekend has been a video game bonanza (and lots of video game relate frustration, but I guess this is what they term "good stress").  This past weekend I started off with Halo 3, in which I continued the same mission I've been on for the past 2 weeks...the damned mission to "find cortana." I have to say that this level has been the most frustrating Halo level ever

PhD comics is coming out with a movie version! I have to say that I really like the comic strip but I don't really know how well it will translate into a movie.  The Garfield movie seemed ridiculous (disclaimer: I have not seen it but I may if it's on Netflix) and no one has made a Calvin and Hobbes movie yet ;-)  I fear that what seems like witty in a five panel comic strip will look pretty

Το περασμένο σαββατοκύριακο, απ’ ότι είδατε στο χτεσινό μου μπλόγκ ποστ, έκατσα και τελείωσα το βιβλίο starship troopers. Ήταν περίπου 60 σελίδες, οπότε με ένα κρύο φραππεδάκι στην βεράντα και μερικές ωρίτσες στον ήλιο το βιβλίο

Over the weekend I took the opportunity of having nice weather to sit out in the sun and finish off the remainder sixty or so pages in Starship Troopers that I had started reading a few weeks ago.  I had watched the movie adaptation when it came out quite some time ago (1998?) as well as the two sequels to the movie: Starship Troopers Hero of the Federation and Starship Troopers Marauder.

Having played a number of games that make reference to Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, I decided that it would be a good idea to actually read the book that has served as some sort of inspiration for those games. This book is also seems to be a book that has won critical acclaim, so it seemed like a good idea to read it.  Thus I put this book on my Overdrive account (public library audiobooks) and

A long long time ago I got my first "internet capable" phone which contained a new messaging technology. That phone was the Ericsson T68i and that new technology was MMS! While the phone had a camera attachment, it was a separate purchase, and it was an anemic 0.3MP (which is what my SonyEricsson P800 camera was, I think).  In any case, the idea behind MMS was that it would be a cross-platform,

So specific GOP candidates get whooped by Obama, but a generic one doesn't ?!?!?!  Well, meet your generic candidate, America!

Τις προάλλες έβλεμα τα νέα του ΑΝΤ1 στην ιστοσελίδα τους και είδα μια διαφήμιση της Cosmote για το πακέτο τους internet on the go με κάρτα.  Αρκετά φάση ο τύπος - Poke μελανχολία! λολ

Την περασμένη εβδομάδα πέτυχα στο twitter εν τουίτ την @ediva στο οποίο έγραφε "Γιατί Hellenic και όχι Greek;". Η αλήθεια είναι πως και εγώ αυτό αναρωτιέται εδώ και χρόνια. Όταν μάθαιβα Αγγλικά (πριν πάρα πολλά χρόνια) και μαθαίναμε τα

I was watching the Daily Show this past weekend and in one of the episodes from last week Stewart was making fun of CNN and the republican candidate debate; more specifically CNN's use of on-screen QR codes to rake viewers to some CNN website (stats about the candidate ? LOL). In any case Stewart throws up his own barcode which too you to a website with the image bellow. Well played sir! Best. QR code
