Or that no matter how hard I try I just can’t rescue you tonight. You say you’re down from what I “did to you” and I’ve made life that much more tough. and when it comes right down to it, My

As some of you may know, Google recently acquired the website traffic analysis company called Urchin, and set its services free to all who want them, under the name "Google Analytics". However, shortly after rollout, they reportedly suspended new user signups pending an introductory phase of some sort. Luckily, I got this very blog enrolled in the program prior to the suspension. Today, I wanted

Below is an article I wrote for another blog I was trying to start. Though some of my friends have already read it, and opined on it, I'm posting it again, so that my friends at Techdirt can syndicate it, and I can get traffic for the ol' blog. It basically covers a few of my thoughts on the nature of the music industry, how its basic institutions have doomed it from the beginning and how p2p

Ok... so the last few weeks have been rough. Not only have I been covered up with school work, I also got sick, and I'm still fighting off the last few germ-stragglers... cough cough. Anyway, God has put something awesome in my life, as well! Just over a month ago, a complete stranger (who also happens to share a dorm with me) added me as a friend to her facebook. That stranger was Michelle von

Ok. Today I was inspired to write a poem about my wife. I know what you're thinking: "Greg, you crazy poet... You aren't married!" Well, I know she's out there somewhere, I just don't know who she is yet. We may even already know each other... Crazy to think that she may be right under my nose! Well, anyway, I wrote the first part of this poem to God, and the second part is, in part, to my

Hey all... I know I haven't updated in about 2 months, so nobody probably reads this anymore... but I got discouraged with it when my adz started doing Public Service announcements.. Not sure what's up with that, but I don't get paid for those... anyway... So yeah, my cousin Melanie has another tumor and is probably going to have to go to surgery again. Please keep her in your prayers yet again.

It seems that the general consensus of the overall gaming community (or at least a summation of all the rumors that have been circulating) is that the Xbox 360 will initially be released in two "versions": one with a removable hard disk and one without, and that those who opt for the less costly option will be able to purchase the disk at a later date. However, an article I just read (linked from

The above image was leaked on to the net today, and purports to be the Xbox 360 (the successor to Microsoft's Kickass console). However, like the giant silver X put on display before the original's release, this may end up being just a prototype of the final product. More to come... eventually!Source: Afterdawn
