Travel The World

By jelewis8 ⋅ November 12, 2007 ⋅ 3 comments

Certain people in my family are due to emerge relatively unscathed from military action in hinter parts of the globe. Noel, I’m looking at you. Noel’s plans post-Army primarily involve traveling to distant lands to engage in self-discovery and explore parts unknown (sounds like a French film). I don’t pretend I’m not envious. Even not [...]

Free Debt Advice

By jelewis8 ⋅ July 12, 2007 ⋅ One comment

My quest for eliminating bad debt has taken on monumental proportions. The other day, I slew a credit card demon with its own balance transfer checks, slicing it open and pouring the salt of indignation and post-graduation maturity deep into the wounds. It howled. I’ve found numerous sites online that offer free debt advice. The [...]

The Gift of Apollo

I think of the iPhone as if it is a Greek legend or myth. The stories told about the iPhone are anything but mundane.

Don’t Be Railroaded

It’s hard to believe people still use railroads, much less get injured by them. I mean, it’s 2007. Where are our rocket packs and bubble domes and atomized reconstructive transportation beaming technology? I thought railroads went out of fashion when Atlas Shrugged dropped off the New York Times’ Best Seller list, but apparently it’s still [...]

Game Design Program

So you just killed that uber-monster boss in the 42nd level of Hell, and can only think to yourself, Man, it’d be nice to have a challenge with these video games. Perhaps you have even thought about designing video games yourself. You may have even done some on your own. It turns out that thousands [...]
