Out of the ashes, comes great television

Andrew Jamison — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 03:47:58 +0000

With the large amount of TV shows that were canceled last season, is incredibly surprising to me how many decent shows have cropped up this season. The issue I find now is more trying to figure out which of these TV shows actually want to watch. There’s just so many and I don’t watch TV [...]

For some time now I’ve been wrestling with the idea of writing my final thoughts on Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 15, the reason for me taking so long to figure out if I wanted to write this post in the first place will become clearer after you read this post. It’s no secret by reading [...]

The TV apocalypse!

As I’m sure most of you are undoubtedly aware, this month in particular has been an incredibly bad week for television. I can count roughly 5 to 10 popular TV shows that were canceled and that’s just off the top of my head. My question to my readers is this: What is happening with TV [...]

In a rather long blog post I wrote several months ago, I compared my first looks at the Fedora 15 Alpha and Ubuntu 11.04 beta. I also promised that once each one of these distributions was released I was going to do a more in depth review of each one. Ubuntu 11.04 has been out [...]

Portal 2 Review – Single Player

Andrew Jamison — Wed, 04 May 2011 05:33:30 +0000

Recently I bought in finished the single player version of Portal 2, which bared, a striking resemblance to the first version of the game. While the general style of the game and fundamentals were the same, it was a lot more voice acting in this game and I would say also more humor. While this [...]

Still Unemployed – why does credit have to affect an employment decision!!

Andrew Jamison — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 01:08:26 +0000

Bad Credit = No Job! It has been just over a year since we moved into this house, yet I’m still unemployed. It’s not that I’m not looking for a job, it seems to be a combination of my severe gaps in employment and the Lack of Necessary Credit. So far, we’ve been lucky enough [...]
