As I was graduating from college and working my first job back in 1994, I went through a phase where I played One Must Fall:2097. I remember playing it on a then $600 17″ monitor that one of the attorneys I worked for had ordered for their kids. Now 10 years later, they have come [...]
In my quest to prove my theory on running a completely free software based computer and after installing my new 120 GB hard drive, I installed the Fedora Project, sponsored by Red Hat — Linux Distribution. I chose it because it was Red Hat based… should be generally excepted (supported RPM’s for easy package [...]
It’s games like Tom’s Hardware Guide Games & Entertainment: Project Gotham Racing 2 - For Arcades But Not For Brutes that make me want an Xbox instead of a PS2. Although a note to self: reinvestigate driving games for PC’s. I noticed a $40 wheel and pedals set at Micro Center today. [...]

I have created the new Dev-Picayune blog for handling my blog of development related research.
Ah ha! I finally have proved that the word “Boo” can be used in a manner other than to scare people as apparently it is found in the Cajun dialect to mean “honey, sweetheart”.
Another Focus on the Family Magazine: The Passion of the Christ related article. Amazing to think of “Mad Max” walking into Focus on the Family and in this scenario.
Wow, it is so encouraging to hear about Mel Gibson’s new movie and to realize just how seriously good this appears to be. To get Dr. Dobson’s daughter’s and others’ nod of approval is big. Also a huge note that Mel went to Focus on the Family himself to gain approval — recognizing [...]
