Yesterday Microsoft released their Dashboard update. A bunch of minor fixes though it seems their servers were pretty busy since my download failed several times before I could actually get it. Internet rumors have the primary reason for the release being some security fixes to slow down the modders. Strange, but lately, I have found […]

January 30, 2006 by 1 Comment
I am trying to upload some of the photos I had on the previous incarnation of this website. Since we are again going to be cruising to Mexico this fall, I thought it appropriate to get the photos from our last cruise to Mexico on the site. These photos are from our 2003 cruise to […]
Take Command Civil War Game Series
January 26, 2006 by Leave a Comment
Heading into college, if I thought I could have made a living at it, I might have been a Civil War Historian. I was, and to a lesser extent, fascinated by that particular war. Like many, I used to play the old Avalon War type board games for hours. I played a lot of strategy […]

Whew… Long day on the phone with Mother today. I am trying to get her into the 21st Century on her computer setup. Doing it long distance doesnt help. She was actually very receptive and ignored my occasional impatience. She finally upgraded from AOL to a broadband connection. She hooked up with Verizon, but in […]

January 18, 2006 by Leave a Comment
You’ve probably noticed that I am pretty big Xbox 360 afficienado. That doesnt make me a fanboy though. If the other two (Playstion 3 and Nintendo Revolution) put out good systems, I am liable to own all three. It was recently announced by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata that the Nintendo Revolution will launch in the […]

America’s Army is preparing to release the next version (2.6) of their wonderful PC game. This is not their long anticipated Overmatch release and thus will not add in drivable vehicles (most likely will be 2.7 release).
