It’s possible — they’re now on a 5-game winning streak after their impressive victory over the Southwest Division-leading Toros. The Arsenal’s remaining games include three games against the Los Angeles D-Fenders (currently vying with the Idaho Stampede for West Division supremacy) and a game against the Utah Flash, who are still on the edge of …

I’m not actually left-handed, but a few years ago, I decided that it might be a good idea for me to learn to use a mouse with my left hand, to give my right hand a much-needed break during the work day. I figured I wasn’t the first person to try this, and a quick …
My brother recently got me a free subscription to Paste Magazine, a “music, film, and culture” magazine, with the “damning with faint praise” comment of, “Well, I like the music sampler CD that comes with each issue.” I have now received two issues of this magazine, and am prepared to pass judgment.

I recently ran into some issues with installing PHP on an IIS server, and, in the process of tracking down the problems, came to the conclusion that the PHP Group doesn’t do enough (any?) release testing, and still treats the Windows platform (regardless of whether or not Apache is used) as a second-class citizen. Why? …
Last night, I finally plowed through to the end of Culdcept Saga. I discovered, via GameFaqs, the concept of the “symbol deck” — one that has absolutely no items or creatures in it, and instead focuses on spending as much money as possible through the symbol system, and controlling the board and pace of the …
