The ultimate boss button…

May 9th, 2009 in Computer by mkohary 0

I love cool little gadgets, and this one seems to do everything you’d want a boss button to do.  Foot-controlled, it purports to be completely user-selectable as to what to erase (not just minimize) and what to bring to the front to make it look like you’re not playing games at work.  Perfect for any [...]

As a big Star Wars geek and somewhat Star Trek geek, I found this video pretty amusing, and well-done too.

Duke nuked…

May 7th, 2009 in Computer by mkohary 0

  It’s official:  Duke Nuke ‘em For Never Kinda figured this announcement was coming…about 7 or 8 years ago.  When you look in the dictionary under “vaporware”, this is what you see.  What’s sad is that 3D Realms kept drawing it out, seeding little sprinkles of hope now and then, but I ask you:  did [...]

Git yerself some free KFC…

May 6th, 2009 in General by mkohary 0

Think you’re too healthy?  Well, KFC will help resolve that problem with free chicken! Well, ok, actually it is kind of healthy compared to KFC’s usual fried fare.  This is only good for their new grilled chicken, and no, you don’t get any choice as to the free food you receive.  But it’s still a [...]

30 classic PC games that still rule…

May 5th, 2009 in Computer by mkohary 1

Good article today at Amog, titled Ready Your Shift Key:  30 Classic PC Games That Still Rule.  The first 4 (actually 8, since each of the top 4 consists of the original and its sequel) are favorites of mine, and I would have shifted Half-Life up to the top.  But minor preferences aside, this is [...]

Seriously, I challenge you count the number of guys that climb out of this van after it rolls over.  I never knew so many clowns would allow themselves to be seen in public without their costumes!

Grilled salmon marinated in a soy sauce mixture…

May 3rd, 2009 in Cooking by mkohary 0

I tried a very simple but very effective grilled salmon recipe last night, and it turned out very well.  We also had grilled potatoes, which is just like baked potatoes but done on the grill.  Smothered in butter, salt and pepper, you can even eat the potato skin, which turns all crispy and yummy (I [...]

The Dave Brubeck Quartet, 1966

May 2nd, 2009 in Music by mkohary 1

Dave Brubeck on piano + Paul Desmond on sax + Eugene Wright on bass + Joe Morello on drums = Total Win.  1966 in Berlin, Germany, performing “40 Days”.  It just doesn’t get much better than this.

Working on some new blogs…

May 1st, 2009 in Personal by mkohary 0

A couple of years ago, my east-coast friend Bill (check out his blog at Squidly) encouraged me to get into blogging, and so I set up a simple blog at WordPress.com called Seattle Karma.  It was pretty easy to do and I found I had some fun with it, but I got bogged down by [...]
