I’ve been sick for the last couple of days, so when I was flipping channels with my girlfriend and saw this recipe on the tele, I knew we had to try it. Roasted Tomatoes, fresh sprigs of Thyme, Garlic, Onion and Double Baked Potatoes… what great encouragement to getting better. Hit the jump for the full recipe.

Another annoyance of being a nerd

All nerds, at some point in their nerdy lives, are recruited to help someone less… Nerdy. If they are a good and patient nerd, then this video will apply more than anything has ever applied to them. Check out the video!

Call of Duty: Black Ops – Review

Gary Texmo — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 17:10:08 +0000

Call of Duty: Black Ops is the latest in the long-running Call of Duty series of games. I’ll get straight to the point here, it’s just not that great. I will say, this is definitely Treyarch’s best one yet (by far); however, it just doesn’t live up to the standard set by Infinity Ward with Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. Read on to find out why…

The single player campaign mostly plays out as a series of flash backs that you, the main character, have while being interrogated. Early on, they are kind of hard to follow and seem like little more than a series of extremely action oriented events that hold little to no story value. The story does pick up as the bits and pieces gleaned from these missions start to fit together, but all in all I felt that any given mission was maybe 10% story development, 90% rather pointless action. By contrast, past Call of Duty games have settled on a nice mix of 1/3 story, 1/3 meaningful action, and 1/3 pointless action (hey, gotta keep the masses entertained, right?).

win. trollface.

Nope… CL is not dead or on a hiatus, the internets have just been rather boring latley. That and between moving, working on projects and StarCraft II … I don’t have the time I used to. Expect more again soon.

Darwin strikes again. Impaitence can lead to death.

Question… if you remove an elevator door and the elevator is not on your floor, what happens if you try to step into the elevator? Most people would be able to answer without trying it. This gentlemen was not so fortunate. Now he has to answer to Darwin. Behold, the magic of “survivial of the fittest”… Or more specifically in this case, the “Not survival of the dumbest”. I guess if you bash the elevator, you get the shaft.
