Provocative Portraits

by Robert in Everyday Nonsense | 110 views | Reading Time 4:00

I’m not sure how up on pop culture the majority of you out there are, but over the last few days, Disney’s media darling Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) has been treated as the new coming of Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan. All (mostly) due to the fact that there are studio portraits of [...]

Additional Product Content

by Robert in Product Rants | 160 views | Reading Time 4:03

It’s time for my first product rant. As you will see, this will be like my other articles, about something, but not really about something. It’s about viewing things from an alternate perspective and thinking outside the preconceived notions that the powers that be assume we adhere to. Recently, game developer Infinity Ward added [...]

Well, let’s talk about barrels of oil. Or maybe it’s barrels of cash, or should it be gold or even diamonds? Today, the price per barrel of gold almost hit $120 per 42 gallon barrel of oil. That equates to about $2.85 in base price per gallon of crude oil. Now, only about 50% [...]

Too Dumb To Be True

by Robert in Movie Reviews | 258 views | Reading Time 3:20

Time for a movie review! I just had the “pleasure” of watching a movie called “Balls of Fury.” It’s a movie, and I’m using that loosely here, about ping pong. Table tennis for the pros out there…. Let me just get right to the point, how and why did this movie go from thought, [...]

Super Delegates Huh

by Robert in Political Beefs | 161 views | Reading Time 3:48

Are we ready for some Political Beef? I know it can be a polarizing subject, but this one isn’t going to be an article asking to choose a side in the sense of Democrat versus Republican. This particular beef is going to be about something that to me makes me want to pull my [...]

Return of Lost

by Robert in Television Ramblings | 134 views | Reading Time 3:25

Finally! Well, it really wasn’t that long of a wait, 4 weeks or so, but still! What am I talking about? The television drama “Lost,” on ABC, returned. The writers’ strike threw a wrench into the season’s plans and actually could have ended the season outright if they wouldn’t have agreed to come back [...]

It’s a follow up book to his first book, “Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant ‘Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big.” His first book was published in 2005, before the congressional [...]

Going Green

by Robert in Everyday Nonsense | 158 views | Reading Time 3:00

Today is Earth day so I figured I would join in the buzz and write up an article from my perspective about all of this going green hype. I whole heartedly agree with people, companies, and governments focusing on trying to become more ecologically friendly. However, it appears to me that this whole green [...]

Job Requirements and Considerations

by Robert in Everyday Nonsense | 114 views | Reading Time 2:42

Today, in a forum I visit, I ran across an interesting post involving an employee of a game development company and his written comments available via his own online blog. The post tracked down evidence from this employee’s own site, to use as ammunition as to why this particular software company has been portrayed [...]
