First Steps

2009-04-07T21:14:00.002-05:00

I would have to say that George's first steps weren't very exciting. In fact, he has been afraid of walking without assistance for sometime. He loves running with my wife and I or even his walker, but the thought of walking on his own was frightening to George. Well for the first time today, George walked without fear. Both my wife and I are ecstatic. I am sure it won't last too long as he finds new and interesting places to get into trouble, but for now, we're rejoice.

Star Trekking

Well, I know where I will be May 8. Do you?

World of World of Warcraft

2009-01-29T12:34:00.001-06:00

Now I am just waiting for World of World of World of Warcraft! WoWoWoW!

Star Trek Trailer, Longer

2009-01-26T19:04:00.001-06:00

Is it out yet? Is it out yet? Is it out yet?

Ninja Cat

2009-01-22T09:16:00.001-06:00

That's just awesome!

Beware Zombie

2009-01-22T09:10:00.000-06:00

You'll have to watch out for those zombies.

Isn't Technology Wonderful?

2008-12-08T08:24:00.003-06:00

I think this is just hilarious and too true about most technology.

Star Trek Posters

2008-11-24T13:00:00.002-06:00

You know my love of Star Trek had waned quite a bit with the poor quality of recent material (Enterprise, etc), but I am getting excited even more about this new movie.

Fair Competition

2008-11-19T09:34:00.003-06:00

I am glad we live in a country with a free market. I just wish people knew what competition was. Apparently, this Judge does not. I wonder if he's another Mac fanboy or just does not have a clue.

Ah, Technology

Space: The Final Frontier

2008-11-14T10:30:00.003-06:00

In space, no one can hear you scream, but in Star Trek, everyone can hear you clap. I just have one thing to say. It's not soon enough.

Updated: Another Trailer.

Halo Recon

2008-11-13T17:19:00.001-06:00

It's looking good....

Now That's a Wizard!

2008-11-13T08:11:00.002-06:00

Diablo III looks amazing. Once again, Blizzard is outdoing itself, and it doesn't have the silly body shapes like in Warcraft or World of Warcraft.

XP Hunters Live!

2008-11-13T08:00:00.000-06:00

Yay! Another installment of the XP Hunters! Enjoy.

The Enterprise

2008-11-12T14:21:00.003-06:00

It's beautiful, not quite the original, but it's got the same feel with a newer look. I have to say I am impressed. I was about ready to give up on the thought that the Star Trek venue still had life in it. I pleasantly surprised.

Professor Vader

2008-09-03T20:23:00.001-05:00

It's like the CD Professor meets Darth Vader.

Google Chrome

2008-09-03T09:28:00.003-05:00

Alright, alright, I confess. I like Google Chrome. I won't use it for any major web surfing until there are more security studies done, but I am impressed. Everything loads faster as long as the connection is good. I am starting to see more and more slow web sites. Most sites that I am visiting Chrome with loading very quickly, but when I hit a site with a slow connection, I can definitely see more of a difference now. Unfortunately, it's spoiling me, so I become impatient with the slow web sites. If you want to try it yourself, it's available for download.

Google Browser

2008-09-02T10:45:00.004-05:00

Google continues to spread their grasps into another area. They're going to have their own browser. This is a highly competitive software market. I think they might be biting off more than they can chew here. Oddly, their logo for this product reminds me of a certain robot for a certain video game.

Teddy Bear Flash Drive

2008-08-27T15:28:00.002-05:00

This product is a little more than just creepy. I am not sure I want a headless teddy bear attached to my laptop. It might be cute if the usb plug came out of his hand or his back, but you have to behead the poor guy to use it!

The Batmobile

2008-08-26T16:48:00.001-05:00

The Batmobile from the movie Batman starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. It is certainly a blast from the past. It certainly any nerd's dream to drive home in the batmobile after a long day of work. Unfortunately, I will never be able to afford the $110,000 price tag. Hopefully, it will go to someone who will treat it right but not keep it locked away in some air conditioned garage for all of eternity.

Best Response to a Bug Report Ever

2008-08-22T10:56:00.000-05:00

That's just hilarious. I have heard some goods one in my time, but this is really great. Some of the best are:

"It's not a bug; it's an undocumented feature."

"It isn't beta software. It is just new version that has never been released in production." (Yes, I have actually heard this one with my own ears.)

"Please make sure the modem is plugged in." - "I already told you what lights were lit up on the modem. How can it be unplugged?" - "Sir, please make sure it is plugged."

(After going through all the troubleshooting steps with an agent...) "It seems the service is down in your area."

Mac's response to the iphone not working on Vista 64bit system even though it listed Vista as an OS it works on was to quietly remove it.

Do you have any funny ones? Please put them in the comments.

PhoneSaber, Best iPhone App Ever

2008-08-20T20:40:00.000-05:00

This application allowed you choose the color of the saber and would make lightsaber sounds when you swung. The sound depended on how you swung it. Even made the humming noise if you moved it slowly. Now they are taking it off the iTunes Store. I glad I still have mine, but I fear one day doing a restore or updating to the next major release.

Star Wars Parody

2008-08-20T20:27:00.000-05:00

Speaking of Star Wars Parody reminded me of some old videos I've seen.

Troopers is just great. It's an old one. I am not really sure the original creator is. Anyone have any ideas?

This is full of laughs too.

This is a target commercial, but it's still cute.

It's subtitles to The Revenge of Sith Trailer, but it's still pretty funny.

Chad Vader, The Training Video

2008-08-20T20:09:00.000-05:00

Blame Society Productions has started a new series for Chad Vader. If you haven't seen the first series, check it out. Do a search for season one of Chad Vader. Happy viewing!

The Captain's Chair

2008-08-18T15:38:00.000-05:00

I am most certainly going to have to get me one of these for the living room in our new house. I have it all planned out where I want it and how to fit it in, but I just need to figure out how to convince my wife and be able to afford it.

Imperial Invasion of San Francisco

2008-08-18T15:27:00.001-05:00

Why San Francisco? Surely, they could could of found a better city to choose?

Half-Blood Prince Pushed Back

2008-08-18T10:27:00.000-05:00

Surprise, surprise, the new Harry Potter movie has been pushed back to July! They used the writer's strike as the excuse. I find that hard to swallow, but I guess it's possible. So much for a good winter movie. Anyone know of anything else that's good coming out this winter?

Batman: The Dark Knight, Parody

2008-08-17T23:47:00.000-05:00

Parody Trailer:

They did a pretty good job. I bet they had a lot of fun.

Official Movie Trailer:

If you haven't seen this movie yet, you should. It's spectacular.

Classic with New Audio:

That's funny.

D&D: Fourth Edition

2008-08-17T23:24:00.000-05:00

I still dislike fourth edition. Maybe it's the epic amount of 3.0 and 3.5 books I have, or that they just made it too video gamesque. I do find the movies they posted quite funny.

"*Growl* I am a monster!"

D&D: XP Hunters

2008-08-17T23:18:00.000-05:00

These guys are pretty fun. I hope they keep churning these videos out.

Nerd + Dad = nerDad

2008-08-17T22:13:00.000-05:00

I have been posting a number of off topic posts in sanctus dialogus, so I have decided to create another blog. This blog will focus more on my everyday observations as a father and a nerd. I want my other blog to focus on its own topics, theology and the church, without distraction. I don't think there should be a separation of secular and non-secular life, but I wouldn't want a preacher to get up on the pulpit to weigh the pro's and con's of Windows Vista for instance.
