I’m not entirely sure when it happened. It probably started a while ago — after all, I’ve been eagerly checking the PreCentral blog for the WebOS news for months now. I’ve been toying with Palm’s software development [...]

[Opinion] Other Videogames That Should Be Turned Into Pen and Paper RPGs
February 2nd, 2010 · 7 Comments · Opinion, RPG Bloggers Network
Yesterday, I was having trouble coming up with a blog post, so Stargazer suggested I riff off of his “Videogames that should be turned into pen & paper RPGs” post. Instead, I did that today. So… yeah.
However, Stargazer beat me to a lot of the good CRPGs, so I decided to look to other genres [...]
[Opinion] How Do You Like Your Demos?
January 28th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Opinion
I was browsing some of the free apps on the Palm App Catalog (I’m not ready to make the plunge into purchasing any phone apps, yet), and I noticed that there were a lot of demos. Call ‘em “X Lite” or “X Free”, but that’s what they are, demos. They also all have different ways [...]

[Opinion] Do Themes Make It Too Easy to "Rebrand"?
January 25th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Opinion
Okay, so here’s a post that is coming from completely left field. I was looking at some of the themes that Dreamhost includes when you auto-install Wordpress onto their servers (still haven’t found one I like more than the Cutline theme), and I started to wonder about rebranding a site.
For corporations, a brand is usually [...]
[Opinion] Software You Keep Around
January 10th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Opinion
There’s a lot of software I keep on my computer because there’s one or two things that it does that my preferred application of choice doesn’t. I doubt that I’m alone in this; I feel that there are probably a lot of people that keep around some stuff on their hard drive that they really [...]
[Opinion] Ares' Unfulfilled Potential
January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Opinion
I don’t know if you’ve heard about it, but there’s a new development tool for Palm WebOS called “Ares”. What makes it special is that it’s a visual based editor – like Dreamweaver did for websites, someone can create an app by dragging and dropping elements onto the screen. Now, they might not be able [...]

Here’s what Anne Sweeney (she’s the president of the Disney-ABC Television Group) said when she found out her daughter thought she didn’t need a TV in her dorm because of streaming:

[Opinion] Why I Want a Doctor Who RPG Series Box
November 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Opinion, RPG Bloggers Network
I was browsing the Cubicle 7 forums looking for info about the Doctor Who RPG (unfortunately, details are very slim… seems like the BBC is keeping them on tight lockdown) when I found this post:
Instead of modules i think a series style book each year (or every 6 months or so) would be best, these [...]

Barnes and Noble recently had a press event for their Kindle-competitor, the Nook, and it is pretty much my favorite gadget right now. Wanna know why? Here’s why:
Free in-store reading. You’ll be able to take the Nook to any of Barnes & Noble’s gajillion stores and read one ebook, for free, each time—the same way [...]

September 5th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Opinion, RPG Bloggers Network
Apparently a lot of people on the network have been talking about their gaming preferences using this handy article at Robertson Games. I like following trends, so here I go!
Comprehensive Rules vs Minimal Rules – I’m not a rules-lite gamer per se, but I don’t want rules to describe every situation. Give me rules for [...]
