Islam and You and America

September 29, 2004

In the late 1990s we started to see an attack in the media on Christianity by various organizations. Bear with me, if you’re not a Christian, you’ll hopefully still find this interesting. Christians and Christianity were deemed intolerant of others and, therefore, bad. “Intolerance” was a rallying call of people who were [...]

Blogtacular

September 28, 2004

My friends Dan & Lee have a new web site up called “Dan & Lee’s Blogtacular“… Dan’s still tinkering with some of the basics, but he said it was ready enough to link to it, so I did. Check it out. The fun part is trying to guess which of the two has [...]

Dude (Looks Like A ZZ Top)

September 22, 2004

After more than 20 years with the same eye doctor (and driving into Downey to see him no matter where I lived) he’s retiring. So it was time to find a local guy. My new eye doctor is a cool cat with a ZZ Top beard named Joe Perry.
Next time I go I’ll [...]

That’s What You Get For Moving to Texas

September 21, 2004

Got an e-mail from one of the two Joels that have recently moved far away… this being Joel E. of Texas. He was looking at the photos on my site and was shocked to see that perhaps Dave might not have long hair anymore. He sent this picture along with the e-mail asking [...]

New Star Wars DVD Defective?

September 21, 2004

You may want to hold off on buying the Star Wars DVD box set that is released today. The Digital Bits has discovered some problems with the audio mix on Episode 4: A New Hope:
1) The familiar Force theme trumpet fanfare that used to play right after Red Leader says: “This is [...]

Beaten at my own game

September 17, 2004

Okay, if you’ve been reading anything on this site recently, you know that I’m a “gamer” – a person who likes to play video games quite a bit more than the average person. Well, it seems that I may need to get a newer and more dangerous hobby that my 4-year-old won’t be allowed [...]

Stuff to say… later

September 15, 2004

Well, before Burnout 3 came out, I was doing research on two big posts for this site. The next in my series on researching Presidential candidates and another on Islam. I have partially written posts, various notes and links saved, but… hey… Burnout 3 is out!
I hesitate to put up those two posts, [...]

New Burnout 3 Video

September 11, 2004

Here’s a new video I made of a racing event in Burnout 3: Takedown called “Road Rage” (Editor Note: Video file has been taken off-line). The idea is to knock your opponents off the road. You are awarded a medal based on how many guys you take down. In this video (which [...]

Best. Game. Ever?

September 9, 2004

Depending on which store you talk to, Burnout 3 came out on a day this week. My store told me earlier this week it wasn’t coming out until today. No matter… I’ve finally got it. “Burnout 3: Takedown” just might possibly surpass NBA Street 2 as my choice for best console video [...]
