Testing a Smoothslider

I needed to see if I could use content posts with Smoothslider, so we could put things like videos in them. Apparently you can. Sweet. Bogus. I take it back. It seems to create some sort of choice of text … Continue reading →

Newt Gingrich promises to build a moon colony by 2020; make it a U.S. state

  When I first read that headline I thought it had to come from the Onion. I thought the Republicans were all about bringing down spending, and reducing the deficit, blah blah blah. Because… you know… Building a MOON COLONY … Continue reading →

THIS IS NOT A STAR WARS SEX PORN SITE

Analytics are funny. So a while back (September of 2010) I wrote a blog.. http://noblesword.com/showy/movie-reviews/looks-like-theyve-found-the-twilek/ It was about how scientists had found another planet and it was tidally locked like the planet Ryloth home of the Twi’lek’s in Star Wars. … Continue reading →

Dungeons and Dragons Wednesday… But… Wait.. NO?

Dungeons and Dragons Wednesday… But… Wait.. NO?

My semi-regular D&D group is off today. Our Wizard Giusseppe’s player had to wake up early to drive his wife to catch a Megabus, so we’re off. But we’re deep in the Pyramid of Power… And have been there for … Continue reading →

Blue Earth Photo 2012

Nasa released a great photo today. The picture of earth that the Apollo astronauts took in 1972(?) is probably one of the most famous and iconic images taken from space. This one won’t replace that, but man is it nice … Continue reading →
Navy joins Big East

Navy joins Big East

Too little too late? I’ll probably write less and less about the Big East, particularly once Pitt leaves for the ACC , whenever that happens, but right now we’re still in there, and I have to say. Too bad people … Continue reading →

2012 Summer Movies That I Must See Before I Die

Every year it seems like there are some movies on the horizon that I absolutely must see, and I always think “crap it would suck if I died before I got to see…” and then name the movie. This summer … Continue reading →

They had this game Star Rider at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Dallas Texas when I lived there in the early 80′s and i LOVED this game. You sat on it like a motorcycle game, but it was sci-fi and the graphics were amazing for the day (it was a laserdisc game ala Dragon’s Lair, etc. that era).

Anyway, apparently the game didn’t do well, and not surprising because that one at the Spaghetti Warehouse is the only one I ever saw. Man I’d love to own an original Arcade copy of it that worked.
