It's getting busy, have a wonderful holiday season!

A review on Alan Greenspan's Book, "Age of Turbulence" gets a 9.5/10.0 .  
Books are one of the longest lived software formats ... can't leave them
out.

How does Halo 3 stack up 3 months after its release ... 9.5/10.

With all the HD TV's flying out of the stores over the past few months I
couldn't resist discussing my
HD experience.  See why I think your old
DVD's upscaled over HDMI to a 1080p TV giving you its full 480p
resolution is the best solution right now.

Also, Ad does a little description of his new favourite toy, the
Logitech G15
gaming keyboard which he gives a 9.0 / 10.0

The third version of the original family favorite game experience 'Age of
Empires'  is reviewed.  The original release getting the highest marks at
9.0/10.0 .  The latest expansion pack not faring as well.

I was sufficiently impressed with the movie 'I am Legend' that I decided to
now include this medium in the software reviews.

Crysis, Crysis ... your computer hardware is being brought to its knees!  
Yes, Ad reviews
one of those new games that needs a couple of $300
dollar video cards and the supporting hardware to play the 'way it was
meant to be played'.  It gets a 9.5/10.0 for it's storyline ... ;)

I've finally added the political component to the site.  I've
been given the name 'steamer' on a forum I frequent so
that's what I called the section  ...
The Steamer.  My first
article is '
2012, The End of the 5th Sun'.  It is an article I
started in the
March, 'Content in Play' and although it is a
work in progress, I think it is time to document it here.

And now for a blast from the past with an article originally
published in the
'Intellectual Activist'.  That is "Global
Warming: All Smoke No Heat" by Robert F. Sanford .  It
is curious how little has changed in the debate since 1992.
November 10, 2008
I'm back with my adventures in Rural Internet Access.  It's short,
not so sweet, and
basically Telus' data plans suck.
