Hello my Good Ol’ Three Faithful Readers.

Out of nothing, out of nowhere and for no particular reason I thought that if a woman is looking for a man that can be defined as a “Good Catch”, then she should look for someone who played a lot of videogames during his infancy. Particularly during the 80′s and early 90′s. Read more »

Hello my Good Ol’ Three Faithful Readers.

In all honesty, I did not have much to write about lately. Sure, there’s a lot to talk about regarding E3: the new Microsoft Kinect, the Nintendo 3DS, Sony 3D glasses and Valve’s non-surprise… I could actually write to great length about Valve’s non-surprise; which short of “Half-Life 2 Episode 3 grew so large it is now called Half-Life 3 and it will come with the new Source 2 engine” won’t really do nothing for me.

Yet, there’s around a hundred gazillion other places you can read about that. So I’ll spare you. Read more »

Hello my Good Ol’ Three Faithful Readers.

A lot has been said about Facebook and privacy; even the President of the Internet, Leo Laporte, has deleted his personal account; some others have found ways around in order to make profiles more secure. Even Facebook thinking of taking over the Internet or it behaving like some kind of cult. There has been a lot of drama surrounding the whole thing to the point Facebook had their hand forced into simplifying things.

Hello my Good Ol’ Three Faithful Readers.

I saw a British movie called The Children, by director Tom Shankland. It was released some time ago but I hadn’t had the chance to see it; and though it’s already available on DVD, I got to see it in a movie theater here in my city… because… you know… Mexico gets some movies kind of late. The Road has just been released this past week. Read more »

Hello my Good Ol’ Three Faithful readers.

Today we celebrate Geek Pride Day, Towel Day or Glorious 25th of May, depending on your particular taste. Coincidentally, Microsoft celebrates Windows 3.0 birthday on May 22nd, and this week is also AOL’s 25th birthday… it seems there’s a special connection between geekyness, the month of May and the 20 something numbers.

Hello there my Good Ol’ Three Faithful Readers.

You must know that almost every morning I eat two apples; sometimes I will eat a third in the evening. Yesterday, as I sat in my office before I began to work, I looked into my apple sitting there.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

But wait. Was it not an apple that poisoned Snow White? The plot thickens.

Hello my Three Good Ol’ Faithful Readers.

On these past days, for some reason I came upon an excellent page titled “On Being a Longhair”. After reading it I figure I can be defined as a longhair.

My first memory of ever being self-conscious about my mane was in Secondary School – 7th Grade – when I realized that, long enough, I could have my hair look like Ace Ventura’s. I was ecstatic about the idea! Sadly, being in a private Catholic school I had to abide by the rules of “social morality”… whatever the heck that means. Thus, I had to keep my hair short.

Hello my Good Ol’ Three Faithful Readers!

As you can see, I said good-bye to old BlogSpot because… well… because I find myself disliking Google now-a-days. They’re not bad guys, and even if they were, I can probably think of worse than them; yet it seems their “Do no evil” mantra has been lost to the wind. The fact that they know more about me than probably I do, and they can use it for whatever they want, is kinda scary. But that’s something to talk about another day. Read more »
