Trent Reznor on the Music Industry

ON stage at the Metro on Monday night, it seemed you’re enjoying being a rock star again. True? It’s funny you’d say that ‘cos that was not one of my favourite shows. It went downhill at one point. Yeah. I enjoy playing these days. I try to make the most of it and sometimes it’s [...]

The Long Dreaded Day

Anyhow, here’s the latest developers log with some pictures of just what I’ve been working on. We’ve been doing some [...]

What Else the Cost of War Could Buy

Boston.com has a really awesome article about our war spending budget. I’ll attempt to summarize some of their breakdowns. According to the National Priorities Project, the total cost of the Iraq war is estimated to reach $456 billion by September. Let’s see what else Americans would be able to do with that money. The World [...]

Watch This, Immediatly

Last night’s Lost was simple the greatest hour of television I’ve ever seen. No contest. If you don’t watch this show, go out and buy season 1 and get to work.

AwesomeStart Progress

So I’ve got everything figure out. I was able to patch twentyfive startpages so far, but it’s taking more like five minutes to complete each page – meaning this is going to take aproximatley . . . an eternity. Anyways, 25/391 done. That’s 6%. Goddamnit, I don’t know how I’m going to finish this.
