I Hacked My Webhost!

I didn’t even mean it! That’s how good of a hacker I am. Just kidding. I did cause my host to go down and got my account all suspended like. Cause I’m a lazy jerk.                 You see this website is quite old. Currently there are posts going back to 2005. I have some backup data stretching to 2004. There were posts from earlier that are gone, lost due to a lack of

Starve a Vampire. Donate Blood.

              I don’t know what The Vampire Diaries are. Judging by the photo it looks like a cheap knock off of True Blood, probably sprinkled with some sparkly vampire ala Twilight. So nothing worth watching. Anyways it’s a catchy catch phrase and includes a young attractive woman in a seductive but obviously uncomfortable position. So I’m for it. Bad goose! Bad! The Red Cross sent me an email and told me they sent my

Out of the Black Odyssey One

This is the fourth book in the series and seems like it is the last.

This would be

It Happened on the Way to War

Amazon had this book on one of it’s daily deal sales and the blending of war and philanthropy sounded interesting. It Happened on the Way to War by Rye Barcot shares the story of the author growing up. He gains from mother a desire to help others through philanthropy at a young age. He gains the desire to help others through the military from his father. Rye joins the marines while in college and balances both with starting his own

Ground Zero

Amazon recommended this book to me. I didn’t think much as I read the description. But then I looked at the cover of Ground Zero: A Zombie Apocalypse by Nicholas Ryan and quote caught my eye:                       Hey! That D.J. Molles guy is the one that wrote that book I love. If he likes this guys book then I will give him my monies to read it to. D.J. was

9/11 – A Present

Yesterday would have been my grandfather’s 94th birthday. It’s weird to think about that, let alone write it out. I miss him a great deal.  While everyone else was thinking and talking about the 2001 tragedy I was thinking of him. It may be selfish of me but that’s life. I decided to give my grandfather a birthday present I know he would have loved:     My grandfather donated 35 gallons of blood to the Red Cross. Why is

Meta

Amazon seems to be hell bent on having me read every single teen sci-fi book out there. Meta by Tom Reynolds. Alien bands give humans extraordinary powers, and our teen protagonist gets the best bands of the lot, giving him a number of powers. This is surprisingly some of the best writing that I’ve come across. Superheros have been done to nausea so there’s no surprises with powers or situations. The faux batman is spot on and brilliant and works

47 Ronin

I read 47 Ronin by John Allyn as the smash hit movie about Tom Cruise running through Japan a white guy in Japan was about to hit theaters. The story of 47 Ronin has many variations that have arisen over the years so I figured the movie would be nothing like the book. I did end up watching the movie as well, and found it to be a wonderful pop corn action flick, but I did enjoy the book better.

Sufficiently Advanced Technology

I read Sufficiently Advanced Technology by Christopher Nuttall in February this year. I found this book on Amazon’s daily deals and picked it up since it has an interesting premise. A technologically advanced space faring human empire comes across a world without technology, instead having magic. The writing is vivid and the characters are adequately fleshed out. The more the author focused in on this one planet and a handful of characters I longed to hear more about the rest

Rainbows End

In January and February I read Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge. It was recommended to me by a friend out on the east coast. He’s a guy that loves to get all the new gadgets and loves to talk geek with you. He also rides bikes so he’s a balanced member of society.                           We were on the phone one day and mentioned I had been reading a
