Lupe Fiasco (Kick Push) & A New Theme

30-Apr-06

First off, as you probably noticed, I changed the theme to my site. I have been working on creating a theme myself (which is incredibly hard), and during my research found this one. It is almost exactly what I wanted to do with my own theme, so I just opted to use it. Let me [...]

Gangsta Life: The Reality Of A Legacy

27-Apr-06

I think this is one of the best written articles I have read in a long time. The NewsTribune did a made-for-TV style piece that walks you through the life of a few Tacoma city gang members. It differs from most media presentations of gang life, as it is factual, fairly unbiased, does not gloss [...]

Free Programming Books

25-Apr-06

For those of you who enjoy programming (C, C++, Ada, Java, PHP, etc.), the TechToolBlog has a list of 195 free programming books available for free via the internet. You just have to love the internet.

PSP: Not Enough Memory

18-Apr-06

So a while back I bought myself one of those clever little Sony machines called a PSP. I was a bit skeptical about the purchase as I was unsure of what I was going to use it for. To date, I have yet to put either a video game or one of those UMD movies [...]

From Paper-Clip to Palace

17-Apr-06

For those of you who think the world is just a bit too corporate, or those of you who just like a good story, here is a story about a man, a paper-clip, and some old-school transactions that is sure to make you smile. You just have to love those clever Canadians and their ancient [...]

Google Calendar: First Impressions

13-Apr-06

So after insane amounts of speculation, Google Calendar has finally arrived. About time. I have been waiting for Google to get their calendar up and running for many moons now. And now that is finally here, I must say that I am not all that impressed. Now before I continue, I should disclaim and say [...]

The Tennis Challenge

11-Apr-06

From the keeping you mildly entertained files comes the Opus Tennis Challenge. I would explain it, but it is pretty self explanatory. My top score is just shy of 100 (94 to be exact). What is yours?

Myspace and Police

10-Apr-06

With the increase in the amount of people posting things online, and the increase in the amount of people being fired for posting those things online, you would think that people would tend to refrain from saying things related to their employer on the internet were the entire world can see. Nope. Not when it [...]

E-40: The King of Slang

07-Apr-06

While reading The News Tribune today (I have to keep up on my local Tacoma news), I noticed a rather nicely done writeup about the infamous Bay Area rap icon E-40. Naturally it is offering some free advertisement for his upcoming concert, but aside from the blatant plugs, the article is rather good and gives [...]

Miami – Part 02

06-Apr-06

This whole Miami vacation should have been a four part entry, but since I was procrastinating on writing about it (I guess I was too busy talking about it), it is only going to be a two part entry. My bad. Anyway, here goes … [BET Spring Bling '06] As many know, the infamous BET [...]
