The Commodore Amiga computer turned 25 years old yesterday, the original Amiga 1000 having been released to rave reviews on July 24, 1985. Those were heady times for home computing enthusiasts, when programming was still largely in the hands of individuals or small teams and the wide assimilation of gaming into corporate monoculture (I’m looking [...]
I love critical thinking and skeptical writers, and I love finding an author who gets the message across in creative, accessible ways. Darryl Cunningham takes a unique approach to skepticism – he draws and writes comics. While this may not seem to be the most serious format with which to debunk nonsense, he is devastatingly [...]
Ever since Apple’s announcement of their new iPad device, there have been a plethora of critical articles and blog posts about how it’s a device that doesn’t measure up. It doesn’t multitask. It doesn’t let you openly install apps. It doesn’t have a USB port or an SD card slot. It doesn’t even run Flash! [...]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here are some things I’m thankful for in the year 2009: I’m thankful for my family. I never take them for granted and I love them all very much.

Here is a small sampling of our Halloween festivities for 2009. Full photoset here on Flickr.
Halloween is quite simply my favorite holiday of the year (and don’t get me started on whether or not it’s a “real” holiday. It’s real to me, dammit.) One of the reasons for my fondness is horror movies. The horror genre has suffered a poor reputation due to the amount of schlock and outright bad [...]
As my friends and family know, I’ve started a diet in order to lose weight, a lot of weight actually – I want to get down to 185 from about 250. I’ve decided to blog about it in order to keep a personal journal and keep myself going, so I’ve opened up Mike’s Calorie Burn [...]
We had a fantastic time this summer visiting some good friends at their rented beach cabin on Juniper Beach, on Camano Island, Washington.
