After many months of painfully slow internet service from Time Warner Cable, I’ve upgraded to a 20 Mbps connection from RCN. According to my first test, I got 15.6 Mbps. Not the advertised rate, but still 20 times faster than what I was actually getting from Time Warner. Even my upload speed is 2.5 times [...]
Today is my 35th birthday. That’s right, I’m entering a new demographic. I know how to go to the next pulldown menu. I am half way through my life and I will be celebrating big next week in Hawaii. And for those inclined, my Amazon Wish List is up to date.
I just launched the offical blog for Michael Moore’s new film Sicko. A documentary about the health care system in America. Now, blogs are not a common medium for movie websites, except for the often ridiculous myspace movie pages.

But if you ask my wife, she will confirm that my mom deprived me of Star Wars toys during my childhood. And that is why I must build my Star Wars empire now. For the kids of course. This [...]
Got to LOVE New York. We took our kids to the 33rd Village Halloween Parade and had an absolute blast. I don’t think our kids had any idea what they were in for. In the past years all they’ve seen is the little kids from our neighborhood dressed up from the usual Wallmart costumes. But [...]
