Happy New Year everyone! Just dropping in to say this blog will be on hiatus for 2012. I may pop in from time to time but for the most part I won’t be here. I’ll still be updating my music blog, adamipodreviews.blogspot.com with new music when I get some. Here’s hoping for a great year…

Some Friendly Advice From Captain Stick
Posted: November 19, 2011 in Life and Stuff, Opinions and Rants, Totally RandomIf you’re at a store and you see a product that says “_______ Choice” (i.e. a wrench that says “Mechanic’s Choice” or diapers that say “Parent’s Choice”), they are so named because they are cheap, not good. Truly tolerant people just tolerate things. They don’t go on and on about how tolerant they are or [...]
Once again it’s time to revisit my favorite albums of this year. Remember, the picks here didn’t necessarily come out this year. It’s just stuff I discovered in 2011. The Choir and Star One are holdovers from last year because I got them so late. The Choir, deplumed – Containing one song from each of [...]
For those who live outside of New York State…
Posted: October 25, 2011 in Life and Stuff, Totally RandomI found this picture on my Facebook news feed. Seeing as we’re flying to New York (upstate, baby!) for a week it seemed pretty apropos. People outside of NY only think of New York City. There’s a LOT more to the state folks! I remember when 9/11 happened. I was in Ft. Wayne, IN and after [...]

30 Days of Nintendo, Day 21: The Quick and Easy Path
Posted: March 1, 2011 in Life and Stuff, Video GamesToday’s Game: After a mis-step with Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, Konami returns with one of the best Castlevania games of the series. Exploration was nixed in favor of linear stages. However, there are several different paths you can take to Dracula’s castle which adds some replay value. They also added companions. On certain paths you’ll find characters [...]
30 Days of Nintendo, Day 13: Back in the Saddle Again (I’m Back!)
Posted: February 21, 2011 in Life and Stuff, Video GamesToday’s Game: Okay, Okay, so it won’t be 30 consecutive days of Nintendo. But I assure you it will be thirty days. It will be thirty days when I’m not working, not husbanding, not fathering, not resting. So… yeah… this might take a bit longer. Anyway, today’s game is Cobra Triangle. I think it’s the [...]
Coming Soon! 30 Days of Nintendo!
Posted: January 28, 2011 in Life and Stuff, Totally Random, Video GamesSo I did it. I went out and got a Nintendo. Not a Wii. Not an N64. Not even a Super Nintendo. A Nintendo. The original. One word. Nintendo. The best part? It only cost me $3.21. So I had this idea. I said to myself, “Self?” “Yeah?” I replied. “You know what could be [...]
Now that I’m a dad I’ve accumulated a good deal of experience changing diapers. I’ve noticed that there seems to be five stages of diapers, similar to the five stages of grief. I’m not sure where I am at this point but I’ll list them so you can figure out where you may be. Stage [...]
Hey everyone! And by “everyone” I mean mom and dad. If you’re neither of the people who contributed to my genetic profile and you’ve somehow wandered over here on your own, thank you for visiting! I’ve started a new blog at www.adamipodreviews.blogspot.com where I’m taking all the music on my Ipod and reviewing it for no [...]
