OK, so I’m at work listening to the second disk of the Echoes compliation.  I’ve heard it a hundred times and I love it.  But I need something a little more fast-paced to keep me from falling asleep as I crunch numbers and interpret code.  I need something a little more intense than “Shine on […]

Have you ever stood in the middle of a old, weathered, rotting, overgrown structure and thought to yourself “This is the destiny of nearly every work of man“?   
Some of my favorite works of art depict “glorious ruins” (a phrase I picked up from Alistair Begg - he used it in reference to man in his fallen […]

You know what?  I’m tired of what/who I’ve been.  Not that what I am is bad or anything, I’m just tired of this version of me.  It’s time for a new, improved “GhostLemur”.  A GhostLemur with a little more of that confidence that comes from repeated hard-fought victories, a little more of that fire in […]

For the past week and a half I’ve been in a “Yo Momma” state of mind. 
You know, anytime someone says anything to me, the first thing my brain feeds me is a “Yo Momma” statement.  For example:
Kid 1: “Daddy, will you get me something to drink?” My brain: “Yo momma will get you something to […]

Diablo has launched the official Diablo 3 site.
First impressions: We’ve seen this *type* of game before, most notably Neverwinter Nights, but this looks to have significant improvement in these areas:
1. Graphics - Blizzard is committed to high-quality detailed art. This applies to character models, equipment, environments. Their cinematics are unmatched in my opinion. This game […]

So I’m beboping in my hooptie to work yesterday, listening to a local pop station, Movin’ 107.5.  They were playing “Waterfalls” by TLC, a 90’s tune that brought back a lot of memories from high school.  Reminds me of Gerald “T-Bone” Tibbins.
 But as I got about 2/3 of the way through the song, I remembered […]

I FINALLY got to watch it last night on DVD, And boy, is it dark! I didn’t get a chance to explore any of the special features, so I can’t comment on them.
There were a few bad things, the first one is …that I couldn’t understand a lot of what they were saying. The DVD audio […]

OK, I don’t know how many of you enjoy either one of these series, but I really enjoy both.  Even when I was a kid, I wanted to be Robocop.  Why?  Because he didn’t waste time.  He got the job done, regardless of the cost to the private sector.
And Terminator.  Not even human, yet smart […]

For all you net users out there, here is a portrait I commissioned of myself.  Looking at it with the blueish background - I dunno.  Does it look a little “dark elf” to you?

What a name for a soda.
 Ironbeer.
When we first saw it at our local grocery store (which has a lot of ethnic goods available), I saw how much it was.  It costs something around $3.50 for a six pack.  Of course I expect to pay more for a unique and/or ethnic product.  Then I saw the story on […]
