Splinter Cell: Conviction is exceptionally fun. I had a blast playing the single-player mode, finding out about Sam Fisher’s latest adventure and the trouble he faced, saving the world and learning about the mystery of his daughter’s death. It was exciting, well-written and compelling. In fact, this might have been the most connected emotionally I’ve [...]

iPhone 3GS – Do Not Want
June 11th, 2009 
Seth As much as I love my current phone, I’m going to pass on this new one, at least for now. Here’s why… First off, I’m not saying that I wouldn’t take one if someone handed one to me and said “it’s on us”, but at the price point, the features it offers are not enough [...]
On Why I Prefer Twitter…
March 19th, 2009 Seth I’ve wondered why I seem to do Twitter more than any other social networking thing, and as obvious as it may sound, it’s because it’s a WHOLE lot easier. I’m not saying that it’s something I can’t get my head around. I’ve been able to DO Facebook just fine. It’s that it’s SO much work [...]
Twitter’s Gonna Get Ya & More Fallen ‘Heroes’
March 3rd, 2009 Seth After setting up Twitter for the TV station I work for, and the recent mainstream media coverage of Twitter after several lawmakers were caught tweeting during Obama’s latest speech, it’s become apparent. Twitter’s here to stay, or perhaps more succinctly, Twitter’s here. Who knows how long it will stay? Twitter makes no money. They don’t [...]
Disrupted, and Fallen Favorites
February 2nd, 2009 Seth Like Darren, I don’t know that whining about my own personal struggle is prudent, considering that many people aren’t even CLOSE to getting services restored, but I had an interesting talk with a co-worker that kind of got me thinking. This ice storm we’re having is the most disruptive weather-related situation I can recall. When [...]
Buying the Election, Nearly Literally
October 29th, 2008 Seth I’ve been RELATIVELY quiet about the election process, not wanting to alienate any of my readers, but no matter where you stand politically, it’d be pretty hard to deny that Obama’s campaign is buying like crazy. Hell, I just learned that his infomercial this week will pre-empt the World Series pre-game show. If you’re the [...]
Used, Even "Just a Little", Is Still, by Definition, USED
July 29th, 2008 Seth I was at an east side Gamestop a few days ago, and saw that the Spider-Man: Friend or Foe game had recently dropped to $20. EXCELLENT. So, I went to the counter to buy it. The guy then went to the wall rack, got the game case, then got the disc out of a drawer [...]
