I’ve always been a BIG fan of Khan. I think I saw The Wrath of Khan before I saw the Space Seed episode it was based off of. He was just such a cool bad guy and Ricardo Montalban played him so well. I probably have watched the scene where…

TV Review: The Flash – Season 3 Episode 8
INVASION! *Warning: Spoilers Ahead* The big 4 show CW crossover event is finally here! I’ve been looking forward to this since I’d heard that it was coming a couple months ago. And when I heard it was going to be the INVASION! story line from DC comics, I was particularly…
Movie Review: Doctor Strange
*Warning: Spoilers Ahead* Marvel’s latest movie, Doctor Strange, has been described as Inception on horse steroids. On fire. And with Sherlock. Which, I’d say, is pretty apt. There are a good amount of scenes that are such visual eye candy that it’s too hard to take in everything that’s going…
TV Review: Marvel’s Luke Cage – Episode 7
MANIFEST *Warning: Spoilers Ahead* Well, looks like Cottonmouth (CM) played his ‘get out of jail free’ card. Scarfe’s little book of goods on him wasn’t enough to keep him in jail and prosecute him without Scarfe alive to testify to it. CM feels invincible and even sets a parlay with Luke…
TV Review: Marvel’s Luke Cage – Episode 6
SUCKAS NEED BODYGUARDS *Warning: Spoilers Ahead* This episode opens with a voice over of a call-in talk radio show discussing Luke Cage and if he’s good or bad for Harlem. Most of the callers seem to agree that he’s good with the announcer seeming to be on that side as…
TV Review: Marvel’s Luke Cage – Episode 5
*Warning: Spoilers Ahead* JUST TO GET A REP Episode 5 gets back to the main story line and starts off with Cottonmouth in his club listening to a rapper sing a song that, I’m assuming is called ‘Long live the chief’. They cut back and forth between the song at…
TV Review: Marvel’s Luke Cage – Episode 4
*Warning: Spoilers Ahead* STEP IN THE ARENA We finally get to see Luke’s origins in this episode. We find out that Luke was previously a cop named Carl Lucas who got sent up on a trumped up charge because he pissed off the wrong people. Right off the bat he…
TV Review: Marvel’s Luke Cage – Episode 3
*Warning: Spoilers Ahead* WHO’S GONNA TAKE THE WEIGHT So, after the first two episodes I’m cautiously optimistic about this season. But I still am stymied as to who will prove to be a challenge to Luke. He could snap Cottonmouths neck without skipping a beat. He seems to be going…
I’m a Runner
I am a runner. 10 years ago I wouldn’t have said that. I’m 45 years old now and when I was in my teens, twenties and early thirties, I had no desire to jog. Just wasn’t my thing. One reason was because I’d always had bad knees and I’d been…
TV Review: Marvel’s Luke Cage – Episodes 1 & 2
*Spoilers ahead* MOMENT OF TRUTH / CODE OF THE STREETS I never really read Luke Cage when I was collecting and reading comics. I stayed mostly with the ‘X’ titles (X-Men, X-Factor, Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men, New Mutants, X-Factor, etc.), Thor and some others. I had heard about him but didn’t…
Android Audio Increasing and Decreasing
I have a Galaxy SIII phone right now and I’ve noticed that, whatever headphones that I use (wired or Bluetooth) the volume will suddenly either decrease or increase without me touching the volume controls. I used to think that the volume rocker was getting nudged when it was either in…
Responsive Design and Forms in Tables
At my work we have been working on designing a SharePoint 2010 template with Responsive Design. It’s something that isn’t an ‘out-of-the-box’ functionality for SharePoint because a lot of what SharePoint does is in tables. But we’ve got something working pretty well now. We ran into a bit of an…
Movie Review: Lockout
Lockout is about a man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. is offered his freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates. Pretty straightforward premise. Guy Pearce stars as Snow. A former government (presumably CIA) agent who’s really…
2011 Whitesnake Concert videos Roundup
For you Whitesnake fans who were not lucky enough (like me) to be able to catch the 2011 Forevermore tour, I’ve compiled a few live performances I found on YouTube from others who were gracious enough to film it and share. I’ve tried to find the best quality ones but…
Having Tonsils Removed As An Adult
Well, I had my tonsils removed last Thursday because I had had a swollen tonsil for over a month and the doctor said they would have to come out. So I agreed and set up the appointment. I really wasn’t worried about it leading up to the operation. I knew…
