Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 24 I owe you all a lot of posts. I’m throwing this up first because the clock is ticking. I’ll punch myself in the nuts once I’m done. 2D Boy, the insane geniuses behind World of Goo, are having a sale. You have one day to get this game for […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 22 I don’t know how it happened or when, but somebody hit Google Maps with a big ol’ Stupid Stick. Suddenly dozens of streets (including the one I live on) display the wrong name and most points of interest seem to be at least several hundred yards away from their […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 17 I think I’ve been clear on my feelings towards attention-starved media whores. On October 15th, the world waited for a little boy to pop out of a balloon his pseudo-scientist (oops, the polite term is “amateur scientist”) father built, or else for him to die horribly so we could […]
Ok…we’re all sick of hearing about “Balloon Boy” by now. It was lame, he was never in the baloon, yadda yadda yadda. I was ready to move on to the next thing too, then I logged into my e-mail account where Yahoo presents me with the top news stories. At first I thought, “Geez! That […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 11 Yes, I socked myself in the right nut and then backdated this post to Sunday. I finally watched Beowulf with the wife last night. In short, my impression was: Gaimam is a talented writer (and I guess so is Avery), Zemeckis still has a hard-on for creepy CGI, and […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 8 I just got a fireproof, waterproof external hard drive from ioSafe. Given the recent spate of end-of-days weather and my bout of terminal heathenism, I thought it best to be prepared. If they had one that was frog-, blood-, locust-, lightning bolt-, and zombie army-proof I’d probably have paid […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 7 I know I’ve played this tune before, but listen up, heathens: Daddy’s got something new for you to worship! First some background, just in case you aren’t up to date on my drama: I’ve recently been confronted with the uncomfortable fact of my own mortality and the realization that […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 6 A bit over 4 years ago, Microsoft announced that they would be including a new document layout file format, later named the “XML Paper Specification“, with the release of Windows that would eventually be called Windows Vista. The XPS format was intended to both compete with Adobe’s Portable Document […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 5 About two weeks ago, I finally used one of my Google Voice invitations and got an awesome phone number. In short, my feelings can be summed up as: … but it could be better.
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 3 Note: I forgot to hit “Publish” before I went to bed last night. I have, as promised, socked myself in the left nut. Maybe I didn’t notice this phenomenon as much in California, but it seems as if every other car in Georgia has some sort of signage (magnetic […]
